A Secure North American Retreat
15-Acre Heritage Hobby Farm | Ottawa Capital Region, Canada
Foreign Buyer–Exempt | Capital-Protected Location
For Americans seeking stability beyond the volatility of today’s world, this rare Canadian hobby farm offers something increasingly difficult to find: space, security, and optional self-sufficiency—without sacrificing access or infrastructure.
Located just 12 minutes from Ottawa’s west end, this 15-acre Mountainview hobby farm sits within Canada’s National Capital Region, a strategically protected area with enhanced infrastructure maintenance and continuity during national emergencies. It is far enough removed from population density and unrest, yet positioned in one of the most secure and resource-reliable regions in the country.
This is not isolation.
This is intelligent distance.

Built for Endurance, Not Trends
At the heart of the property stands a heritage farmhouse built in 1875, constructed using methods that modern building codes struggle to replicate.
• Solid log-frame construction
• Encased in exterior brick
• 19-inch-thick walls, offering exceptional structural integrity, thermal mass, and longevity
The interior blends historic rustic character with practical modern elements:
• Exposed beams and partial log walls
• Finished drywall where comfort matters
• A newly installed furnace, ready for hookup to the energy system of your choosing
The home is ideally suited for off-grid adaptation, backup power systems, or full self-sufficiency, should an owner choose that path.

This offering carries several rare advantages for American purchasers:
• Exempt from Canada’s Foreign Buyer Ban
(Prohibition on the Purchase of Residential Property by Non-Canadians Act)

A Different Way to Think About “Home”
Why remain confined in dense urban environments—living wall-to-wall with neighbors—when you can own land, infrastructure, and flexibility in one of the world’s most stable countries?
This is not about leaving the U.S.
It’s about having options.
A home away from home.
A retreat.
A legacy property.
A future-proof investment.
Opportunities like this—foreign-buyer-eligible hobby farms near a national capital—are exceptionally rare.
