Set on a private 4-acre estate just 13 minutes from downtown Ottawa, this custom-built 7-bedroom residence blends scale, efficiency and exceptional privacy. Thoughtfully designed with bright, well-proportioned living spaces, oak hardwood floors, 9-foot ceilings and a central living area overlooking the surrounding forest. A fully finished lower level adds flexible space, while geothermal heating and cooling, with 4 independent zones, provide remarkable efficiency, keeping monthly utility costs around $350. Complete with private wooded trails and countryside views, the property offers a rare lifestyle-driven setting minutes from the city.

Discover this exceptional 7-bedroom, 4,800 sq ft property offering a rare combination of high-quality construction, thoughtful design, and functional living space, set on a private 4-acre lot just 13 minutes from downtown Ottawa. Custom-built with exterior walls twice the standard thickness and superior insulation, the home is engineered for exceptional thermal efficiency. A geothermal system handles heating and cooling across 4 independent zones, keeping total utility costs to just $350/month, close to half of a comparable Gatineau home, and less than half of a comparable Ottawa home.

The property stands out for its 300-meter-deep private forest, complete with private trails and backing directly onto Nakkertok Nordic Centre cross-country ski club, providing immediate access to an extensive network of cross-country skiing and outdoor trails right from your backyard.

The main level features 9-foot ceilings, hardwood oak flooring throughout the main and second floors, and a warm, inviting living room designed to maximize natural light and forest views, with a fireplace providing a cozy gathering point amid the serene surroundings. The kitchen is equipped with maple cabinetry, and the home offers an exceptionally large and bright dining room, perfect for entertaining.

- 3 additional bedrooms with large windows
- A generous family room
- A well-designed layout with enhanced soundproofing, ideal for entertainment, work, or a quiet retreat space

With a total of 7 bedrooms, the home stands out for its flexibility and functionality.

Outdoors, enjoy the privacy of your expansive lot, relax in the spa, or explore your own forested trails, all while being minutes from the city.

The house sits on a small hill and cannot be seen from the street, approached via a 70-meter-long driveway, creating an estate-like sense of arrival and exceptional privacy. The property also offers peaceful countryside views, with open landscapes and neighbouring horses visible from the home.
