Twenty minutes from Perth, on a quiet road where the loudest thing is the wind, sits a 1968 bungalow with the land and the lifestyle most buyers spend years searching for. The fully fenced 0.8 acre lot is built for the life you've been planning. Mature trees, fruit trees, a big garden ready for spring, and a covered outdoor kitchen anchored by a hand-built pizza oven. Chickens? Their coop is wating. Dogs? Free run of the yard. Outbuildings handle the hay, tools, and everything else a small homestead needs. Inside, three bedrooms plus two flexible rooms currently working as a home office and an art studio (call it a gym, a second office, a kid's playroom, your call). The kitchen opens into a dining and living space, with a generous family room addition off the back, warmed by a wood stove and opening through sliding doors to the outdoor kitchen. Hardwood floors and trim refreshed in 2022. A new wood stove in 2022. Bathroom fully remodelled in 2026. This isn't a house to flip. It's a house to grow into. Garden in the back, fire in the stove, eggs in the coop, pizza in the oven. Twenty minutes to Perth, a quick run to Highway 7, and a price that leaves room to make the rest your own. The kind of property buyers think doesn't exist at this price anymore.

I have listed a new property at 2600 Ramsay Concession 2b in Mississippi Mills. See details here

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.

I have listed a new property at 000 Palmerston Lake in Frontenac. See details here

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.
