Some properties feel like they've been waiting for you. This is one of them. Set on 14 cultivated acres in the Ottawa Valley, The Herb Garden is a rare blend of home, working land, and quiet sanctuary. At the centre stands a welcoming four bedroom farmhouse, move-in ready, traditional in character, and warmed by thoughtful upgrades throughout. Three bedrooms and the principal living spaces sit on the main floor, with a private upper level bedroom or office tucked above. The lower level is a blank canvas, ready for additional living space, a studio, or generous storage. Step outside and the land unfolds in layers. Perennial gardens, lavender beds, fruit trees, and a meditative herb spiral, each shaped by years of artistry and care. Two heated greenhouses and a shaded structure support a long-established nursery with a loyal following, ready to operate as is or scale at your pace. Then there is the venue. The Herb Garden is one of the region's most sought after wedding properties. A grand heritage barn, beautifully converted, hosts receptions of 75 to 100 guests with full bar and catering prep. The Bergamot Barn provides bridal and groom suites and a weather-proof ceremony option. Comfrey Cottage, the original homestead, now serves as a charming gift shop and gallery. For larger gatherings, the grounds open generously for tented celebrations against a pastoral backdrop. Four historic barns, extensive infrastructure, and a history of careful investment make this a property as practical as it is poetic. The established businesses are yours to continue, expand, or simply enjoy as part of the inheritance. A property like this only comes along once. Live here. Build here. Settle in.More details
The Herb Garden is one of the Ottawa Valley's most established destination properties, a turn-key business with multiple revenue streams already in motion. Set on 14 landscaped acres, this is a rare chance to step into an enterprise that took decades to build. The wedding venue is the centrepiece. A premier name in the region, it draws couples from across Eastern Ontario for receptions of 75 to 100 guests inside a beautifully converted heritage barn, complete with bar and catering prep space. The Bergamot Barn houses bridal and groom suites plus a weather-proof indoor ceremony option, while landscaped grounds offer multiple outdoor ceremony sites and ample room for tented events at greater scale. Comfrey Cottage, the original homestead, operates as a gift shop and gallery, an additional retail touchpoint for visiting guests. A long-running nursery business adds a second income stream. Two heated greenhouses and a shaded structure supply herbs and perennials to a loyal customer base each spring, with clear runway to extend the season and grow through targeted marketing. A solar installation generates roughly $11,000 to $12,000 per year in supplemental income, with several years remaining on the contract. A four bedroom farmhouse on site provides owner or staff accommodation. Four historic barns and recent upgrades to key systems round out the infrastructure picture, an operationally sound asset, not a project. Established brand. Diversified income. Strong community roots. Properties like this almost never come to market. Contact the listing agents for revenue figures and a full information package.More details
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.More details
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.More details
Fifteen acres of hardwood forest, walking trails winding through ash, birch, oak and cedar, and not a neighbour in sight. Minutes from the Village of Merrickville and under an hour to Ottawa, this high ranch bungalow delivers the privacy buyers dream about without trading away convenience. The main level has been refreshed top to bottom. A brand new kitchen with new appliances anchors an open-concept living space, with fresh paint throughout. The kitchen and living area flow together around a wood-burning fireplace and open to the back deck overlooking the landscaped yard and treeline beyond. Two bedrooms and a full bath complete the main floor. Downstairs, the finished walk-out lower level opens the home up considerably: two more bedrooms, a second full bathroom, and a sprawling 37-foot family room with space for a home theatre, games table, or quiet office in the corner. The walk-out design keeps it bright and grade-level, never the dim afterthought a lower level can be. Then there is the shop. A detached 30 x 40 steel building on an engineered concrete slab, with an oversized 12 x 14 door and the power to run whatever you bring into it. Hobbyists, contractors, mechanics, and RV owners, this one was built for you, and it rarely comes alongside a house like this. The homes mechanicals are handled: a furnace replaced in 2022, a water softener added in 2021, a sediment and UV filtration system, gas hot water, a private security system, and a Generac generator sized to carry the entire home through any outage. Bell fibre internet keeps you connected for work or play. Homes with this combination of acreage, shop space and move-in-ready updates rarely surface this close to Merrickville. Book your private showing, walk the trails, and stand in that shop. You'll understand the appeal before you reach the front door.More details
The kitchen island began life as a church altar. It sets the tone for the whole house: an 1875 stone home at the edge of historic Perth where the original character was kept and the important updates were made. A natural gas furnace within the past five years, central air installed this year, a metal roof within the past ten, and modernized plumbing and electrical mean this is a century home to be enjoyed rather than worked on. Original hardwood, high ceilings, and the detail of a craftsman era carry through the principal rooms, warmed by three fireplaces: a wood-burning insert in the formal living room, a second wood fireplace in the family room, and a natural gas fireplace in the dining room, where a pass-through to the kitchen serves gatherings gracefully. The home offers three bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, including a primary suite with a luxurious ensuite. The grounds extend across 1.88 acres, with the house set well back from the road for genuine privacy. A screened solarium, a hot tub on the rear deck, and a substantial barn suited to a workshop, studio, or hobby farm pursuits complete the setting. The property is served by its own well, with excellent water quality, a septic system, and fibre internet available. Downtown Perth's shops and restaurants are a short walk away, though the property retains the quiet of the countryside. Homes of this era and condition seldom come to market. This one is ready for its next century.More details

Most rural listings come with a to-do list. This one comes with receipts. The owners have spent decades maintaining this home in show-ready condition, most recently having every main floor room painted in 2026 and the 4 pc bath refreshed in 2025. The raised bungalow sits on 1.1 treed acres between Almonte and Hopetown. The main level contains everything you need for daily living: three bedrooms, 1.5 baths, spacious living room, a kitchen with solid wood cabinetry in excellent condition, and a dining room that walks out to the wrap around deck, the spot dinner moves to from June through September. The lower level earns its keep: a second living room centred on a wood stove, a fourth bedroom, a bathroom, and endless storage space. With its own walk in entry off the carport and a kitchenette space already set up, there is excellent in-law suite potential here. And the receipts: propane furnace 2021, central air 2019, hot water tank and well system 2019, GenerLink generator connection 2023, and a 10x10 Amish built shed new in 2023. Bell fibre is available at the house, so working from home is not a compromise. Fifteen minutes to Almonte, twenty to Carleton Place, thirty five to Kanata. A house that asks nothing of you on day one, on a quiet treed lot with an easy run to the city.More details
Forget the dock that bottoms out in August. Off this one you've got 15 to 20 feet of water, the kind of depth that means real swimming, real diving, and a boat that floats no matter how dry the summer gets. Welcome to 1394 Black Lake North Shore, a three-season cottage built for the way summers are supposed to feel. The open floor plan keeps everyone in the same room whether they're cooking, playing cards, or just landed from the lake. Off the main space, a big sunroom with oversized windows pulls the water and the treeline right inside, the spot you'll claim with a coffee at 7am and a book at 7pm. Three bedrooms mean room for the kids and the inevitable guests. One bath keeps it simple, the way a cottage should be. Out on the deck, the hot tub looks straight over the lake, the place everyone drifts to once the sun drops. A detached garage with power handles the toys, the tools, and the projects. And the practical stuff is already sorted: steel roof overhead, low maintenance throughout, so your weekends go to the water instead of the to-do list. Deep water like this is rare in cottage country, and cottages that have it do not sit. Book your showing before someone else claims your dock.More details
What if your home helped pay for itself? Set on just under an acre at the edge of Smiths Falls, this property is two fully separate living spaces under one roof, and depending on who you are, that is a different kind of win. If you are bringing family closer, parents or adult kids get their own front door, their own kitchen, their own space. Close enough to share a meal, separate enough that everyone keeps their independence. This is the layout multi-generational families look for and rarely find. If you are buying your first place, live in the main home and rent the suite. The self-contained one-bedroom suite has its own entrance, full kitchen, living room, bright bedroom, and 4-piece bath. It is genuinely move-in ready, not a basement afterthought, and in this market a suite like it can put real money against your monthly payment. And if life changes, the floor plan converts back to a single 3 plus bedroom home without a gut renovation. Three ways to live in one property, and you pick.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 light in every season. Both units share a stacked laundry and run on a central electric furnace, 2023, and A/C, 2021. The big-ticket work is done: shingles 2024, kitchen skylights 2022, siding and windows 2020, attic insulation and crawl-space spray foam 2021. The basement woodworking shop is ready for hobbies or storage, the attached double garage handles everyday life, and a 23 by 13 outbuilding at the back of the lot is a blank canvas for a workshop, studio, or future bunkie. A home that helps pay for itself, room for the whole family, or a flexible property with more upside than the house next door. This one gives you a choice most do not. Book your showing before someone else sees what this property can do.More details

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.More details
