Down a private laneway through the woods, this 57-acre property offers rare privacy, rich biodiversity, and everything you need to live closer to the land. The land features a mix of open pasture, mature forest, wetlands, and a pond, with trails winding throughout and direct access to the Ottawa Valley Recreational Trail for year-round hiking, biking, snowmobiling, and more. At the heart of the property is a historic 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath home offering over 3,300 square feet of living space. Extensively renovated in the 1990s, the home retains its warmth and heritage charm, including an original hearth and wood-fired oven in the kitchen. A woodstove in the family room adds comfort and character, and the metal roof ensures long-term durability. The low basement houses the electric furnace, water system, washer/dryer, and storage. 5+ acres surrounding the home are cleared for pasture, gardens, and food production. Apple trees, raised beds, and vegetable gardens are already established, with medicinal plants like chamomile, elderberry, and mullein growing naturally throughout the landscape. A detached two-car garage (insulated and heated, with 100 amp hydro), generator shed, and functional cattle barn with electric fencing add versatility for livestock or hobby farming. With no visible neighbours and a quiet setting full of wildlife, this property is ideal for anyone seeking a more self-sufficient lifestyle, a private country estate, or a ready-made homestead with room to grow. Located on a paved road, just 7 minutes to Smiths Falls and 30 minutes to Kanata, it balances quiet rural living with convenient access to town and city. (id:19004)
