Getting “back to the land” is no longer a radical departure from society; you don’t have to become a hermit to reap the benefits of off-grid living. With remote work now a reality for many of us, a more balanced, sustainable, and self-sufficient lifestyle isn’t just a dream—it’s a pragmatic choice.

Whether you’re ready to leave city life behind altogether or are looking for a rustic cabin to escape to in your downtime, you don’t have to wait until some future state to live more mindfully, frugally, and in deep connection with nature. Explore the possibilities of affordable off-grid living just an hour north of Ottawa at LeTerrain.

Economic viability

Imagine waking up in your cozy cabin, surrounded by nature, with the sun powering your laptop as you sip your morning coffee. Sustainable practices like rainwater harvesting and growing your own food are rewarding on many levels, including financially. And in our increasingly challenging economic environment, freeing yourself from utility bills by generating your own energy to run satellite internet, lighting and even air conditioning is a no-brainer.

Living off-grid reduces your cost of living, and the up-front investment is much lower than it was even a decade ago.

It takes a village

While living off the grid both requires and fosters independence, it doesn’t need to be isolating. Having a supportive community enhances everyone’s quality of life and makes the inevitable challenges less daunting. The growing popularity this type of lifestyle means there are plenty of like-minded people interested in exchanging experiences, sharing resources, and finding optimal solutions to generate and store energy, build and maintain infrastructure, and grow and forage food.

Sustainable development at LeTerrain

Since 2019, 5 lots ranging from 5 to 15 acres have been purchased at LeTerrain. Each property hosts a range of projects at various stages that highlight the diversity, adaptability, and creativity of this community.

We are announcing 4 new lots, ranging from 5 to 20 acres, for sale. Every lot borders the beautiful, private 430-acre wilderness preserve. The 20-acre piece of land can be subdivided into 4 separate lots. It features hundreds of mature maples, 300 metres of municipal road front, a 4-season babbling brook, and an access road to the heart of the wilderness park.

This natural ecosystem is abundant with all manner of natural resources and features an extensive and well-maintained trail network year-round. It is also home to a soon-to-be accredited official dark sky park, providing a pristine night sky for stargazing and astronomical observations.

Whether you are interested in sustainable living and reducing your ecological footprint, living mindfully and closer to nature, or looking for a supportive and thriving community, LeTerrain offers a unique and fulfilling way of life to suit your individual needs.
