Half the people shopping for land out here want open field. The other half want forest. This 9.78 acre lot near Bennett Lake refuses to choose: sunny meadows mixed with blocks of mature bush, and almost ten acres to make your own. The groundwork is already started, too. The road entrance is in, hydro runs along the road, and Ennis Rd is a year round, township maintained road, so the first steps of a build are done before you own it. A registered development agreement defines where the home can be built; full details available on request. Behind the lot, an informal path over the surrounding land reaches a quiet stretch of Bennett Lake shoreline, the kind of water that herons, ducks, and paddlers appreciate. Water access remains informal and undeeded due to township restrictions, but the public boat launch at the end of the road puts you on Bennett Lake proper regardless. Known for clear water, good fishing, and a relaxed pace, Bennett Lake is highly sought after. Fallbrook and the village of Lanark are minutes away, golf at Blue Heron and Timber Run is just down the road, and Perth, with its shops, restaurants, and hospital, is about 15 minutes. Kanata is just under an hour. Rural zoning. Lot lines and dimensions approximate. Book a showing today to walk the field, walk the woods, and picture your house between them.

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.

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.
