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. This is 19 acres of privacy, natural beauty, and a river that changes with every season, minutes from the shops and restaurants of Perth but feeling like a world that you get to have entirely to yourself. 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. The two units share a stacked laundry and run efficiently on a central electric furnace (2023) and A/C (2021). And if life changes, the layout converts back to a single 3+ bedroom home without a gut job. Downstairs, the basement has served as a woodworking shop for years and stays ready for hobbies or storage. The attached double garage adds everyday utility, and a 23' x 13' outbuilding at the back of the lot is a blank canvas, ready to become your workshop, studio, or future bunkie. Big-ticket updates are already done: shingles (2024), kitchen skylights (2022), siding and windows (2020), attic insulation, and spray foam in the crawl space (2021). Whether you're building a multi-generational setup or looking for a property that pays part of its own mortgage, this one gives you options, just minutes from town.

Some properties sell a lifestyle. This one sells a feeling. Standing on 16 acres along the Tay River with more than 430 feet of shoreline, you notice the calm first. The water is clear and unhurried, moving past a landscape of mature trees and open spaces that feels both sheltered and expansive at the same time. Paddle out from your own shore and you are connected to Perth and the broader Rideau waterway, one of Ontario's most storied canal systems. On land, the property gives you options that most waterfront lots simply cannot. Over 1,500 feet of road frontage means access is never a concern, and with hydro already at the road and a permitted entrance in place, you are not starting from scratch. Whether you envision a single home tucked among the trees or a a family estate with a workshop, guest house, and room for family to spread out, the acreage supports it. Lots like this, with real waterfront footage, proper infrastructure, and this much usable land, are a rare find in any market. Perth is minutes away. The river is right here. The only thing missing is your plans.
