Property Description

An exceptional 82-acre sanctuary in Almonte's peaceful countryside, offering a rare live-work opportunity centered around a gorgeous, beautifully updated Mediterranean-inspired home featuring 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. Designed for elevated living, the home includes a chef-style kitchen, a bright breakfast area, and a striking living room highlighted by a cozy fireplace. Additional living spaces include a stunning formal dining room complemented by a covered patio with elegant wrought-iron gates, a sun-drenched sunroom with soaring ceilings, a private library, a convenient laundry room, and a lavish primary suite with a spa-like ensuite and custom deck framed by endless, serene views of your private acreage. Generously sized secondary bedrooms, a dedicated office and well-appointed bathrooms complete the home. Set within this remarkable property is Whitehouse Nursery & Display Gardens, a well-known Ottawa Valley destination established in 1987. Over four decades, extensive mature display gardens, specialty plant collections, and a colourful daylily field have created a setting that draws visitors for inspiration, education, and the experience of the gardens themselves. The property is home to an established horticultural business with a loyal customer base, a strong reputation, and the infrastructure to continue or expand nursery operations. Its annual Bloomfest Garden Art Show has also demonstrated the potential of the gardens as a destination, bringing together spectacular summer displays and the work of local artists. For a new owner, the possibilities extend beyond horticulture. These exceptional gardens and picturesque rural surroundings could provide a beautiful setting for photography, workshops, garden tours, art and artisanal events, or other creative ventures. This is a unique opportunity to build upon a destination that has taken four decades to create.
