Kawartha Lakes sits in Kawartha Lakes, Ontario — one of the regions where rural-property buyers shop for a balance of country living, land value, and practical access to services. Whether you're looking for a hobby farm, an acreage retreat, or a country home close to everyday amenities, here's what's worth knowing about the Kawartha Lakes market before you book a showing.
As of November 14, 2026, Kawartha Lakes has 164 active rural MLS® listings, with asking prices from $95K to $8M. Most buyers land here looking for one of three things: lifestyle acreage with a home already in place, raw land for a custom build, or a working or hobby farm. Price bands vary widely depending on proximity to town, road access (year-round municipal vs seasonal), and whether the lot is serviced or on well + septic.
Before offering on any Kawartha Lakes rural property, get the Zoning Certificate from the municipality. Kawartha Lakes municipalities typically designate rural land under some combination of Agricultural (A), Rural (RU), Environmental Protection (EP), or composite zoning. Each carries different rules on building size, livestock, severance and commercial use. The certificate costs a small fee and can save expensive surprises after closing.
Most Kawartha Lakes rural properties are on a private well and septic. Budget for a water test and a septic inspection on any property more than 5–10 years old. Confirm the road is "year-round municipally maintained" — a property on a seasonal road can be hard to reach in winter without private plowing, and it may affect your mortgage eligibility.

He works with buyers through the full process — from local comparables analysis to severance history, zoning, well/septic diligence, and offer strategy.

Four, according to the City: Kawartha Region Conservation Authority, Otonabee Region Conservation Authority, Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority and Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority. Kawartha Conservation says any development in its Regulated Area needs a permit (minor permits are issued within 21 days of a complete application), and shoreline or in-water works on the Trent Severn Waterway may also need a Parks Canada permit.

The City's Official Plan sets buildings, structures and septic systems at least 30 metres from the high water mark, kept natural, though a boathouse and dock are permitted within that setback. On at-capacity lake trout lakes the setback is 300 metres. Island lots need a minimum 8,000 sq.m. and 90 metres of frontage.

The City's Building and Septic Division, which administers the Ontario Building Code for private sewage systems of 10,000 litres per day or less and keeps sewage system records back to 1974. Most residential permits are issued within 10 business days of a complete application, and a septic review may be needed for accessory buildings such as a bunkie or boathouse. In source water protection vulnerable areas, systems are inspected once every 5 years.
