I have listed a new property at 543 French Line Road in Lanark Highlands. See details here

Set well back from the road on 37.84 wooded acres, 543 French Line feels closely connected to the landscape around it. Built in 2023, the home gives reclaimed timbers from a southern Ontario barn a new life beneath soaring ceilings. Hand-laid natural stone and polished concrete ground the space, while expansive Marvin windows fill the main floor with light and draw your eye to the woods beyond. The open-concept living area is warm and inviting, with a kitchen featuring an induction cooktop, walk-in pantry and separate full-height freezer. The main-floor primary bedroom offers a generous walk-in closet and wet-room bathroom, with main floor laundry. Upstairs, a spacious loft overlooks the living area, providing a second sitting room alongside a guest bedroom with two-piece ensuite. The workmanship extends beyond the house. A separate outbuilding houses a garage (32' x 26') with 11-foot ceilings and an adjoining workshop (20' x 17'), with a covered carport providing additional sheltered parking. There's substantial space for projects, equipment and collections. Follow the walking trails through the woods, pause beside the creek's small rapids, or spend an afternoon tending the raised garden beds. A year-round creek, pond and perennial gardens give you reasons to linger outside, with thoughtfully incorporated stonework connecting the cultivated grounds to the forest beyond. A metal roof, radiant in-floor heating, ductless heat pump & A/C, grid-connected solar with net metering and a Kohler backup generator complement the traditional materials. An insulated electrical room in the garage houses a Tesla battery and the electrical control equipment that keep this property running smoothly through all seasons. Room to create in the workshop, trails to wander and a home worth coming back to. Come walk the property and see the craftsmanship up close.

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.

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.

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.
