Richmond Hill sits in York, 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 Richmond Hill market before you book a showing.
As of November 14, 2026, Richmond Hill has 42 active rural MLS® listings, with asking prices from $800K to $18M. 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 Richmond Hill rural property, get the Zoning Certificate from the municipality. York 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 Richmond Hill 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 northern half is. The City says the northern half of Richmond Hill is located on the Oak Ridges Moraine, and its Official Plan says over half of Richmond Hill is located on the ORM Conservation Plan Area. The Oak Ridges Moraine Protection Act and Conservation Plan, passed in 2001, place restrictions on the development of land on the Moraine, so check what applies before you plan to build or sever.

Two. Richmond Hill's Official Plan refers to watershed plans by Toronto and Region Conservation (TRCA) for the Rouge, Humber and Don River watersheds, and by the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority for the Holland River watershed. TRCA says that under the Building Code Act, a TRCA permit is required before your municipality issues a building permit in its regulated areas.

Richmond Hill's rural settlement: the Official Plan identifies the Hamlet of Gormley as a Rural Settlement Area within the Oak Ridges Moraine Countryside designation. New lots there may only be granted for minor infill, and development within the Gormley Heritage Conservation District must sustain the area's rural heritage character.

Look it up in Richmond Hill's Inventory of Cultural Heritage Resources; not all buildings on the list are designated under the Ontario Heritage Act. To prove a property's heritage status, the City issues a formal Heritage Status letter for a $100 fee.
