15572 Highway 17, Whitewater Region

Private 1.6-Acre Rural Retreat with Creek, Trail & Existing Homesite* Rare opportunity to own a truly private rural parcel in the heart of the Ottawa Valley. This 1.6-acre property is surrounded by large tracts of woodland, farmland, and wetland corridors, with no visible neighbouring homes, offering a level of privacy that is increasingly hard to find. The land is bordered by a lake-fed creek flowing through a natural wetland system, creating beautiful seasonal water views, abundant wildlife habitat, and exceptional landscaping and water-feature potential, including opportunities for boardwalks, viewing platforms, gardens, and naturalized outdoor living spaces. The rear of the property backs directly onto the Algonquin Trail, a scenic multi-use trail providing year-round access for walking, cycling, and nature enjoyment. Zoned RU (Rural), the property includes a former homesite with an existing structure (non-habitable, in as-is condition), established driveway access from Highway 17, and a historic civic address - making it an excellent candidate for a future replacement dwelling, recreational retreat, or long-term land holding. With a large, elevated area of high and dry land and natural buffers separating the homesite from the creek and the highway, this property offers both usability and seclusion. The natural topography lends itself well to creative landscaping, privacy screening, and outdoor design, allowing future owners to shape the land into a highly personalized rural escape. Located just minutes from Cobden and Renfrew, yet feeling worlds away, this is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Eastern Ontario's most scenic and peaceful countryside.
