279 BROWN ROAD Imagine stepping off your own property and onto 296 km of year-round trail. The Ottawa Valley Rail Trail sits less than 100 metres down the road, ready for cycling, walking, ATVing, and winter snowmobiling straight from your future front door. This private 1.9-acre lot is tucked into a quiet forest setting, the kind of place built for a country retreat without the long-drive isolation. Carleton Place is 15 minutes away, Smiths Falls just 8, and Kanata only 30, so amenities and the commute stay easy. The hard part is already handled: a drilled well is in, the lot sits on a municipally maintained road, and hydro runs to the lot line. High-speed internet and cell service are available, so working from the woods is genuinely an option. Rural zoning opens the door to more than a home and garage-workshop, it also allows home-based businesses and bed & breakfasts. A few kilometres on, the Lanark Community Forest adds even more trails for hiking and exploring. This is a blank canvas with the groundwork already laid, waiting for the right plan and the right owner. Bring your builder, bring your ideas, and walk it with your agent. Please do not walk the land without a real estate agent present. (id:203)
