Oshawa sits in Durham, 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 Oshawa market before you book a showing.
As of November 14, 2026, Oshawa has 14 active rural MLS® listings, with asking prices from $130K to $6.2M. 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 Oshawa rural property, get the Zoning Certificate from the municipality. Durham 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 Oshawa 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.

The City of Oshawa, not the Region. Durham Region Health approves private sewage systems across Durham, but says the City of Oshawa is an exception and that it holds septic records for every municipality except Oshawa. The City has issued septic permits since Durham transferred its approximately 600 Oshawa septic files in 1998; apply for a sewage system permit for any new or repaired system.

Only by infill. The Official Plan says Raglan is entirely within the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan Area, residential development is limited to internal infilling, and lots use a private drilled well and private septic. Every consent or subdivision application there needs a detailed engineering report based on test drilling.
