I have listed a new property at 534 Anglican Church Road in Tay Valley. See details here

Twenty minutes from Perth, on a quiet road where the loudest thing is the wind, sits a 1968 bungalow with the land and the lifestyle most buyers spend years searching for. The fully fenced 0.8 acre lot is built for the life you've been planning. Mature trees, fruit trees, a big garden ready for spring, and a covered outdoor kitchen anchored by a hand-built pizza oven. Chickens? Their coop is wating. Dogs? Free run of the yard. Outbuildings handle the hay, tools, and everything else a small homestead needs. Inside, three bedrooms plus two flexible rooms currently working as a home office and an art studio (call it a gym, a second office, a kid's playroom, your call). The kitchen opens into a dining and living space, with a generous family room addition off the back, warmed by a wood stove and opening through sliding doors to the outdoor kitchen. Hardwood floors and trim refreshed in 2022. A new wood stove in 2022. Bathroom fully remodelled in 2026. This isn't a house to flip. It's a house to grow into. Garden in the back, fire in the stove, eggs in the coop, pizza in the oven. Twenty minutes to Perth, a quick run to Highway 7, and a price that leaves room to make the rest your own. The kind of property buyers think doesn't exist at this price anymore.

I have listed a new property at 2600 Ramsay Concession 2b in Mississippi Mills. See details here

Two homes. One waterfront. Zero compromises. Most lake properties force a choice: do you bring family, or do you finally get the quiet you came for? This rare Clayton Lake home lets you do both. Two fully self-contained units under one roof, each with its own kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, furnace, and electrical panel. Real independence, not a shared hallway with a closed door. The lower walk-out level offers two bedrooms, an office/bedroom, and a three-season sunroom where the lake becomes part of the everyday view. Radiant in-floor heat keeps winter mornings warm underfoot. Upstairs, four more bedrooms, a four-season sunroom built for year-round use, and a private balcony positioned for watching the sunset reflecting off the water. Seven bedrooms and five bathrooms total. Enough room for the whole family, and enough separation that everyone still likes each other on Monday morning. Outside, Clayton Lake delivers what buyers keep asking for and rarely find: a clean shoreline with minimal weeds, your own dock and boat launch, and a short walk to the Clayton general store and parks. Year-round road access. Snowmobile trails close by for the winter months. This is a family compound built for generations. Bring aging family members close while preserving everyone's independence. Help an adult child step into ownership without sacrificing your own space. Or hold it as the gathering place every summer for the next thirty years. Waterfront properties with two complete living spaces appear once in a decade. The families who find them tend not to let go. Book your private showing before another family does.

I have listed a new property at 1025 ARCOL Road in Frontenac. See details here

West-facing sunsets on highly sought-after Palmerston Lake. If you have been waiting for an opportunity to own a piece of one of the region's cleanest and deepest lakes, 1025 Arcol Road is your opportunity. Over 2 acres of privacy on a spacious lot, with a public sandy beach just a five-minute walk down the road. Palmerston is known for spectacular fishing, uncrowded waters, and miles of surrounding Crown land. The water at the dock is about three feet deep, and a short swim out drops into the crystal clear depths the lake is famous for. Inside, the cottage has been extensively renovated. 2026 alone brought a new heat pump/AC, new wall and attic insulation, a new 200 amp electrical panel, and a fully renovated and expanded washroom with a walk-in shower and laundry. Prior updates include a 2009 septic system, 2017 hot water tank, and 2021 water pump. The upgrades make this an exceptional extended three-season retreat.The vaulted living room glows with warm pine walls, and a bright front sunroom with cedar ceilings adds a second living space full of natural light. Two bedrooms and a bunkie give you room for the whole family without the upkeep of a massive build. Outside, you will find a new back deck, a detached two-car garage built in 2015, the bunkie with hydro, and an additional storage shed. High speed internet is available, and the township owned/maintained road takes you right to your driveway. Properties on Palmerston Lake are rare and tend to move quickly. Book your showing and secure your spot on the lake for summer.

I have listed a new property at 000 Palmerston Lake in Frontenac. See details here

A rare opportunity on Palmerston Lake: 9.44 acres of pristine waterfront, accessible by boat, with over 1,200 feet of shoreline and two quiet bays of its own. The land is treed with mature mixed forest and bordered by thousands of acres of Crown land. There are no neighbours in sight, and given the surrounding protected wilderness, there likely never will be. Palmerston Lake is one of the most sought-after lakes in the Ottawa Valley, known for its deep, clean water and limited development. A new dock is already in place, ready for morning swims or quiet evenings on the water. A recently added outhouse and a mostly cleared building site mark the beginning of what comes next, whether that is a custom cottage tucked into the trees or a simple wilderness retreat under the stars.Access is by boat, with seasonal slip rental available at the Palmerston Lake Marina ($700 for the 2025 season). An old logging road through the Crown land offers potential 4WD access during construction, simplifying the build process before you settle back into the quieter water-access rhythm. The land borders thousands of acres of Crown land laced with ATV and snowmobile trails, open through every season. This is the kind of property that almost never comes available: large, private, untouched, and surrounded by protected wilderness. A rare chance to own a piece of the Ottawa Valley that the rest of the world will never reach.

I have listed a new property at 279 Brown Road in Montague. See details here

Imagine stepping off your own property and onto 296 km of year-round trail. The Ottawa Valley Rail Trail sits less than 100 metres down the road, ready for cycling, walking, ATVing, and winter snowmobiling straight from your future front door. This private 1.9-acre lot is tucked into a quiet forest setting, the kind of place built for a country retreat without the long-drive isolation. Carleton Place is 15 minutes away, Smiths Falls just 8, and Kanata only 30, so amenities and the commute stay easy. The hard part is already handled: a drilled well is in, the lot sits on a municipally maintained road, and hydro runs to the lot line. High-speed internet and cell service are available, so working from the woods is genuinely an option. Rural zoning opens the door to more than a home and garage-workshop, it also allows home-based businesses and bed & breakfasts. A few kilometres on, the Lanark Community Forest adds even more trails for hiking and exploring. This is a blank canvas with the groundwork already laid, waiting for the right plan and the right owner. Bring your builder, bring your ideas, and walk it with your agent. Please do not walk the land without a real estate agent present.

I have listed a new property at 150 Urbancrest Private in Barrhaven. See details here

Stop paying someone else's mortgage. This 2013 Barrhaven townhome condo is move-in ready, freshly painted, and priced to sell to whoever moves quickest. The main floor is open and smartly laid out: stainless appliances, smart kitchen layout, and clean laminate and tile that flow into a dining and living space built for real life. No renos waiting on weekends. Step out to a private patio that becomes the morning coffee spot you didn't know you needed. Downstairs, two bedrooms with brand new carpet, each with its own bathroom. No more fighting over counter space, and overnight guests can have their own setup. In-unit laundry, natural gas heat, central A/C, and a dedicated parking spot mean no laundromat runs and no winter car shuffle. And because this is a rare ground-floor unit, groceries never have to climb stairs again. The location is the real flex here. Five minutes on foot to Half Moon Bay Park and the Stonebridge Trail system. The nearby rec centre covers the rink, pool, turf, courts, gym, and classes. Strandherd Drive's groceries and shops are right there. Downtown Ottawa, thirty minutes. Units like this don't sit in Barrhaven at this price. Book a showing before someone else does.

I have listed a new property at 2275 Palmerston Lake in Frontenac. See details here

Past a kilometre of untouched Crown shoreline, where the lake opens wide and the cottages thin out, 6.69 acres of forested waterfront come into view. Step off the boat onto over 1,400 feet of private frontage on Palmerston Lake, bordered by more than 1,000 acres of Crown land. This is the kind of quiet you can only reach by water. The cottage was built in 2000 by the current owner, using large logs cut from the surrounding land. For years before and during construction, the family stayed in the small bunkie down the forest path. That care and patience shows throughout: timberframe accents, wide-plank pine floors, and a great room with a soaring ceiling, anchored by a fieldstone fireplace.Three bedrooms and two full baths offer comfortable space for family and guests. A woodstove warms the lower-level family room. The original bunkie still stands, providing a quiet retreat for visitors or a peaceful studio space. The off-grid systems are designed for genuine comfort. A substantial solar and battery setup handles daily needs, with a generator for backup. Lake water intake, full septic, and infrastructure sized for year-round living. Outside, deep clean water for swimming and fishing. A firepit near the water's edge for evenings under the stars. Trails through the property connect to the neighbouring Crown land, with access to ATV and snowmobile routes. Loons call across the water in the morning. The lake stretches uninterrupted to the horizon. Ottawa and Kingston are each about an hour and a half away, far enough to leave the pace of the city behind. A rare offering, and a true legacy property.
