WELCOME TO
Where an active, healthy lifestyle in nature is yours for the making.
At Edelweiss Lakes you are surrounded by, and connected to, over 750 acres of crown land forest, trails, lakes and meadows. Located just 30 minutes from Ottawa, our residential property borders a natural bounty and offers an ideal setting for you to plant roots and enjoy active country living among scenic vistas, charming villages, and profound recreation and leisure.

Our Story
Luc Belisle and his family were introduced to Edelweiss in 1989 when he purchased his first home in the area. Living in nature became his daily escape and gave him the strength to continue a challenging career. He found this was a fantastic community to raise a family in and was fortunate to do so with his two daughters (pictured with him here, on their horses in Edelweiss). His family's experience is what he longs to share with like-minded folks through the community of Edelweiss Lakes.
