South Frontenac, Ontario
The Property
A triangular parcel of forest, ridge, meadow, marsh, and trail — with everything in place for the right buyer.
The Parcel
Distinctive triangular parcel.
Howe Glen forms a distinctive triangular parcel fronting Craig Road in South Frontenac. The shape is determined by the road on the west, the property line along the east, and the point at the north — creating an enclosed interior that feels larger than the lot size suggests.
The interior is not visible from Craig Road. The rock ridge, forest, and topography create a natural screen that delivers genuine privacy from the moment you leave the driveway.

Western Edge
Rock Ridge & Escarpment
The most dramatic feature of Howe Glen is the rock ridge that runs along the western portion of the property, rising sharply from Craig Road. This ridge provides both natural beauty and a strong visual screen from the road.
The ridge is part of a broader escarpment context. Steep conditions on the west, south, and portions of the north contribute to the sense that this property is protected — that the surrounding landscape is unlikely to change in ways that would alter its character.
A trail leads from the interior up to the high point on the ridge, where the views open out over the marsh and the wider landscape.
Interior
Meadow & Pasture
The interior of the property opens into approximately one acre of pasture and meadow. The soil here is described as deep red loamy soil — historically used for agriculture — and gives the property a productive, usable interior quite different from typical Shield rock.
The campfire area sits at the edge of the meadow where it meets the marsh outlook, making it one of the best spots on the property for evening use.
The cleared future home site is positioned within this interior zone, oriented for privacy and outlook.
Eastern Edge
Seasonal Marsh & Wildlife
The eastern side of the property meets a seasonal marsh — open, low ground that draws birds, deer, and other wildlife throughout the year. The marsh is best seen from the RV pad and campfire area, which sit at the edge of the meadow with a direct view east.
In summer the marsh is rich with cattails and green. In winter the open white expanse gives the property a surprisingly large feeling from the high point. In spring and fall, waterfowl and wading birds are regular visitors.
Because the marsh is open and low, it provides a natural buffer on the eastern side — keeping the view clear and the sense of enclosure intact.
Exploration
Trail Loop & High Point
A trail loop runs through the woods and up to the high point on the rock ridge. It's a short walk that rewards with views across the marsh and the open landscape to the east — a view that feels much larger than a 2.6-acre lot.
The trail is the best way to understand the property's scale and character. On foot, moving from the driveway up through forest and out onto the ridge, the property reveals itself gradually.
