Description

Some properties feel like they've been waiting for you. This is one of them. Set on 14 cultivated acres in the Ottawa Valley, The Herb Garden is a rare blend of home, working land, and quiet sanctuary. At the centre stands a welcoming four bedroom farmhouse, move-in ready, traditional in character, and warmed by thoughtful upgrades throughout. Three bedrooms and the principal living spaces sit on the main floor, with a private upper level bedroom or office tucked above. The lower level is a blank canvas, ready for additional living space, a studio, or generous storage. Step outside and the land unfolds in layers. Perennial gardens, lavender beds, fruit trees, and a meditative herb spiral, each shaped by years of artistry and care. Two heated greenhouses and a shaded structure support a long-established nursery with a loyal following, ready to operate as is or scale at your pace. Then there is the venue. The Herb Garden is one of the region's most sought after wedding properties. A grand heritage barn, beautifully converted, hosts receptions of 75 to 100 guests with full bar and catering prep. The Bergamot Barn provides bridal and groom suites and a weather-proof ceremony option. Comfrey Cottage, the original homestead, now serves as a charming gift shop and gallery. For larger gatherings, the grounds open generously for tented celebrations against a pastoral backdrop. Four historic barns, extensive infrastructure, and a history of careful investment make this a property as practical as it is poetic. The established businesses are yours to continue, expand, or simply enjoy as part of the inheritance. A property like this only comes along once. Live here. Build here. Settle in.
