South Frontenac, Ontario
Howe Glen
Private by nature. Connected by choice. A secluded, infrastructure-ready rural property near Verona — with a dramatic rock ridge, open pasture, seasonal marsh, and a cleared future home site.
Why Howe Glen
A rare private landscape, ready for the right buyer.
Most rural properties offer scenery or convenience. Howe Glen offers both — along with a level of existing infrastructure and natural protection that is genuinely difficult to find.
Dramatic Natural Terrain
A rock ridge along the western edge screens the property from Craig Road and creates a distinctive, protected character found on very few rural parcels.
Exceptional Privacy
Marsh to the east, a seasonal brook to the south, and steep escarpment conditions on multiple sides mean no realistic nearby construction pressing in from key directions.
Ready Infrastructure
Well, 400-amp power, four hydrants, RV pad, EV charging, Starlink internet, available fibre, service shed, cleared home site, and established driveway. The site work is done.
Practical Access
About 10 minutes to Verona for everyday needs. About 40 minutes to Kingston for hospitals, major retail, and city services. Isolation without inconvenience.
Rich Natural Character
A trail loop through the woods to the high point, a meadow with deep loamy soil, a seasonal marsh alive with birds and deer, and four seasons of compelling beauty.
Remote-Work Ready
Permanent pole-mounted Starlink is active. Fibre is available on the utility poles. This is one of the few rural sites where connectivity is genuinely not a compromise.
Privacy & Isolation
Quiet that's built into the land.
The privacy at Howe Glen isn't just trees — it's terrain. The rock ridge that runs along the western side of the property rises sharply from Craig Road, creating a natural screen that is as beautiful as it is functional.
To the east, a seasonal marsh means open, low ground that will remain open. To the south, a seasonal brook and steep escarpment conditions create a natural boundary. The result is a property where the sense of enclosure is real and durable.
From inside the property, you would not know a road is near. From the high point on the trail loop, you look out over open space and sky.

Life on the Property
Summer evenings. Winter silence. Year-round character.
The campfire pad sits at the edge of the meadow where the land opens toward the marsh. It's a place where you watch the last light fade behind the ridge and hear nothing but wind through the cattails.
In summer the marsh fills with birdlife and the forest behind the rock ridge is dense and green. In autumn the ridge turns. In winter the high point gives you a view across open white — a view that feels much larger than 2.6 acres.

Frequently asked questions.
-
How large is the property?
Howe Glen is a 2.6+ acre triangular parcel fronting Craig Road in South Frontenac, Ontario. The shape and terrain create a strong sense of enclosure and privacy within a compact footprint.
-
What services are already on site?
The property has a functional drilled well, a finished 8×8 service shed housing the pressure tank and a 200-amp electrical panel (servicing the property and shed), a 400-amp electrical service with a main disconnect provision for a future house, four frost-free farm hydrants, a 50-amp RV hookup with water, an EV charging outlet, and an established gravel driveway with parking. A 20-foot sea container provides additional storage.
-
Is internet available?
Yes. A permanent pole-mounted Starlink dish is currently active on the property. Fibre optic service is also available on the utility poles along the property — an unusual advantage for a rural site of this character.
-
Is there a prepared area for a future home?
Yes. A cleared home site has been established with a gravel parking pad and the EV charging outlet nearby. The site is positioned within the property interior for maximum privacy from the road.
-
How close is the property to Verona?
Approximately 10 minutes. Verona has a grocery store, restaurants, and everyday essentials — close enough for regular use without being immediately adjacent to town.
-
How far is it from Kingston?
Approximately 40 minutes to Kingston, which offers hospitals, major retail, big-box stores, and full city services. The property gives you rural privacy with genuine urban access when you need it.
-
What outdoor recreation is nearby?
The K&P Trail is just minutes away and provides access for cycling, walking, and ATV use. There are also golf courses within a short drive, and the surrounding South Frontenac landscape offers extensive opportunities for hiking, paddling, fishing, and wildlife observation.
-
What makes the property so private?
Privacy comes from a combination of terrain and natural features rather than just tree cover. The dramatic western rock ridge shields the property from Craig Road. A seasonal brook and steep escarpment conditions to the south, and marsh to the east, mean that the realistic potential for construction pressing in from those directions is very low. The result is a genuine sense of enclosure that is hard to replicate.
-
Is there a survey available?
Yes. A property survey is available for review on the Survey & Boundaries page. The key dimensions are approximately 367.75 ft along the south boundary and 633.35 ft along the east boundary. Buyers should confirm all details with their own legal and surveying advisors.
-
Is the property suitable for working remotely?
Very much so. The combination of active Starlink internet, available fibre service, and a cleared home site makes this a strong candidate for a primary residence or retreat for remote workers. You get genuine rural quiet with reliable connectivity.
