Looking for land for sale near Ottawa? Whether you're dreaming of cottage lots in Ontario, rural property in Québec, or residential land in the Ottawa Valley, Dreamy Estates is where family adventures begin.
We’re not a big company. We’re two brothers — Chris & Nick — walking the land, answering the phones, and helping Ontario families turn dreams into dirt. And this mission? It’s personal.
👨👩👧 Why We Started Dreamy Estates
Our parents finally bought their dream property when we were already grown. Chris was off to university, and I (Nick) was leaving the following year.
We were thrilled for them — but also a little heartbroken. If they’d found affordable land a decade earlier, we could’ve grown up with weekends at the Cabane au Canada, building forts, chasing frogs, and making memories in the woods.
Back then, most land listings were massive — 100-acre parcels priced for developers, not families. That’s why we created Dreamy Estates: to make affordable land ownership possible for families, before the kids are grown and gone.
📵 1. Less Screen Time, More Green Time
Let’s be honest — kids are glued to screens like squirrels to peanut butter. Buying land gives them something better to explore: trees, trails, frogs, and fresh air. No algorithms. No ads. Just real life, in full colour.
Yes, there’s cell service and Wi-Fi. But trust us — they’ll be too busy building forts to care.
🏕️ 2. Make Real Family Memories
Your kids won’t remember that group chat about dinner plans. They will remember:
Building a fire together
Sleeping under the stars
That time Dad got tangled in the tent
Land gives you a place to make memories that stick — and stories that get funnier every year.
🌲 3. Get the Kids Outside (Like, Really Outside)
We’re talking dirt-under-the-nails, bug-on-the-nose, “Mom, I saw a beaver!” kind of outside.
Our lots are surrounded by forests, creeks, hills, and trails. Perfect for:
Fort-building
Frog-catching
S’more-eating
And yes, even sulky teenagers who secretly love it
🐸 4. Help Them Care About Nature (Without a Lecture)
You could give your kids a speech about climate change… Or you could give them a piece of land and let nature do the talking.
When kids spend time in the woods, they start to care. They notice the birds. They protect the frogs. They ask questions like “Why is this tree shaped like a question mark?”
Land ownership turns curiosity into stewardship — and that’s a win for everyone.
🧘♂️ 5. Escape the City & Actually Relax
Between traffic, screens, and the constant hum of “what’s next,” it’s hard to breathe.
Our lots are quiet. Peaceful. Private. Perfect for weekend escapes, summer getaways, or just a place to sit and do absolutely nothing.
And yes — your kids will relax too. Eventually. After they stop asking what’s for dinner.
💡 Bonus: It’s a Smart Investment for Ontario Families
Land doesn’t go out of style. You can:
Hold it
Build on it
Flip it
Pass it down
And with our in-house financing (just $10K down + monthly payments), it’s easier than ever to make it happen.
Most of our lots are just 1 to 1.5 hours from downtown Ottawa — ideal for families looking for vacant land, cottage lots, rural escapes, or residential building lots without the Ontario price tag.

Let’s build something beautiful together — while the kids are still young enough to enjoy it.
Cheers,
Chris & Nick
