Lanark County Real Estate

Seen from the air, Lanark County in Eastern Ontario's Ottawa Valley is a patchwork of large farms, small towns, wide ribbons of forests, and clear lakes and rivers. It is a panorama that would gladden any landscape painter's heart and it's even better seen up close, as residents and owners of Lanark County real estate would attest to.

Encompassing a broad area of almost 3,000 square kilometres, Lanark County is hailed as the “Maple Syrup Capital of Ontario” and has a deeply rooted agricultural heritage that continues to flourish to this day. Farming – whether it's dairy, sheep or maple syrup production – is still a major industry here, though areas of high growth such as the town of Carleton Place are seeing their economic bases diversified by tourism and light industry as well.
