Tucked along a quiet bend of the Tay River just ten minutes from Perth, this 73-acre estate is the kind of property that almost never comes up. An 1870s stone home, an 1820s log guest house, over 1,200 feet of natural swimmable shoreline, and total privacy at the end of a long private drive with no neighbours in sight. The stone home stands with quiet dignity, its original pine floors and historic millwork carrying the story of generations. Behind that character sits the practical stuff that matters: a brand-new septic system installed this year, propane furnace, updated wiring and plumbing, newer windows on the upper level, and added insulation. Generously sized rooms, a large wood-burning fireplace, and a clean, dry basement give the main house real bones. With 5 bedrooms and 1.5 baths, there's space for the whole family, even if you convert one of those bedrooms into a luxurious spa bathroom. The kitchen and dining room and the unfinished primary bedroom are blank canvases waiting for your vision. Outside is where this home really opens up. Forest and field roll out in every direction, dotted with apple trees and wild berry bushes. Launch a canoe from your own shoreline and paddle 2.5 km into Christie Lake. A boathouse sits right at the water ready for restoration. An 1825 barn with massive hand-hewn beams waits to be reborn, and the rustic log cabin with a screened porch and charmingly wonky floors makes a perfect guest house, summer retreat, or short-term rental opportunity. Just over an hour from Ottawa with easy access to Highway 7. Vibrant in summer, hushed under winter snow. A private world where time slows and history breathes in every stone, beam, and ripple of the river. Book your private tour today.

Imagine 16 acres where the only schedule that matters is the one the river sets. This Tay River property offers more than 500 feet of untouched waterfront shoreline, the kind of setting where you hear moving water before you see it through the trees. Open meadow gives way to mature forest as you walk the land, each section suggesting a different possibility for where your home could sit, where a garden could grow, where a path could wind down to the water. The river is wide and tranquil here, perfect for paddling into Perth for a coffee or on through town toward the Rideau waterway. The shoreline has never been altered, which means you get to decide exactly how you meet the water, whether that is a dock, a gentle clearing, or a natural stone landing. Hydro is available at the road, and a road entrance is already in place. Waterfront acreage with this kind of privacy, size, and river access is something that even most locals have never seen available. You are minutes from Perth, with its heritage downtown, farmers market, and year-round community, but standing on this land you would never know it. This is where someone builds the home they have been sketching on napkins for the last ten years.

Every spring, the maples wake up on this 29 acre haven before anything else. The sellers have been tapping them for years - buckets on the trees, syrup boiling down over an outdoor burner - and that ritual is yours now if you want it. Trails wind through the mature hardwood bush behind the house, a bountiful forest abundant with wildlife, native plants, and an endless supply of firewood your family will enjoy for decades to come. The home is warm, well-built, and designed for comfort: built in 2005, three bedrooms up including a primary with its own ensuite and soaker tub, a kitchen and dining space that invites people to linger, and a walkout lower level with a fourth bedroom or office. Heat is never a concern. Electric forced air handles the baseline, and the woodstove, tied directly into the ductwork, can warm the whole house from one fire. And then there is the garage. Three bays. Timberframe construction. A loft above. It is the kind of structure that stops people mid-step when they first see it. Ideal for a woodworker, a mechanic, a collector, or anyone with a serious hobby, this garage will make you realize you have been compromising your whole life. It is not an add-on. It is a destination. The location completes the picture. Swim in the clean, deep, fast-moving water of the Mississippi River just three minutes away. Blue Heron Golf Club is four minutes down the road. Perth is twelve minutes away. Kanata is forty-five. Far enough to feel like you've left. Close enough that you actually will. Land with character, a home worth coming back to, and a garage that exceeds every expectation. If the idea of tapping your own maples next March is more than a passing thought, come see this house before someone else does.

Perth has a way of staying with you. The slower pace, the limestone architecture, the sense that a good life is still lived at a human scale. Perthmore was built with that understanding, and it shows in this lovely 2017 townhome. Inside, the main floor is designed for effortless single-floor living. The primary bedroom and its ensuite are steps from the kitchen, the laundry is on the same level, and the hardwood floors and tile run throughout without a threshold in sight. Large windows with custom blinds pull in natural light across the open floor plan. The kitchen anchors the space with quartz countertops and Fisher & Paykel appliances. The screened Sunspace porch extends your living season without requiring a jacket. Downstairs, a finished lower level adds meaningful flexibility: a second bedroom with walk-in closet and a full bath make it a proper guest suite, a home office with privacy, or a comfortable space for family when they visit. Step out from the lower level onto the sunken patio, where privacy fencing creates a sheltered outdoor room. Beyond it, manicured garden beds carry colour and texture through the seasons, ready to enjoy without demanding your weekend. Past the property line, a nature park and pond is planned that will permanently protect that green horizon. Outside, the brick and vinyl exterior asks little of you, while the attached garage and double-wide driveway handle the practical realities comfortably. Perthmore townhomes surface infrequently - this corner of Perth has earned its reputation quietly, through people who chose it and stayed. Book your showing today to come walk through your new home!

What if you and your parents could share a waterfront address without tripping over each other? This rare Clayton Lake property offers something almost never found on the water, two fully functional living units under one roof, each with its own kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms, furnace, and electrical panel, allowing true independence rather than compromise. Imagine family just one floor away, close enough for Sunday dinners while still enjoying separate routines, private space, and everyday privacy. The walk-out lower level features two bedrooms, an office, and a three-season sunroom where lake views become part of daily life, while radiant in-floor heating keeps winter mornings cozy. Upstairs, the second unit expands to four bedrooms, a four-season sunroom designed for year-round enjoyment, and a private balcony that invites you to watch the sunset reflect across the water. Outside, Clayton Lake delivers the quiet rural lifestyle many buyers are searching for, with a clean shoreline, minimal weeds, and your own dock and boat launch ready for canoe adventures, fishing afternoons, and teaching grandchildren to swim, while winter brings access to nearby snowmobile trails. This is a family compound built for decades of shared memories, offering the opportunity to help children step into home ownership, keep parents close with peace of mind while preserving their independence, or live in one unit while rental income from the other helps carry the mortgage. Waterfront properties with two complete living spaces like this appear once in a decade, and the families who find them tend to hold on for generations. Your family's lake house is waiting, book your private showing before another family claims it.
