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.

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.

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 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.

What would your mornings look like with 650 feet of river at your doorstep? On this 19-acre waterfront parcel along the Tay River, that question stops being hypothetical. The river runs wide and calm here, the kind of water that calls you out in a canoe at dawn and keeps you sitting on the shore long after sunset. From this stretch, you can paddle right into the heart of Perth or further out into the Rideau waterway system, a network of lakes and locks that most Canadians only ever visit on vacation. The land itself is a thoughtful mix of open spaces and mature trees, offering the freedom to site your home exactly where the view moves you most. A road entrance is already in place and hydro is available at the road, so the practical side of building is well ahead of where most vacant land starts. Waterfront acreage like this is genuinely hard to find in this part of Ontario, and it is even harder to find with infrastructure already in place.

If you have been waiting for the right piece of land to build the home you have always pictured, this is the canvas.

Two complete homes, one connected life. Set on just under an acre at the edge of Smiths Falls, this updated home was made for the way families actually live, together, but with space to be separate when it counts. The main residence offers two bedrooms, 1.5 baths, and a bright vaulted kitchen and dining area with skylights, a movable island, and generous cabinetry. A south-facing picture window floods the living room with natural light through every season. The real story here is the in-law suite. Fully self-contained with its own entrance, full kitchen, living room, bright bedroom, and 4-piece bath, it's move-in ready for parents, adult kids, guests, or rental income.
