Gun range update: Buyers Beware!

The landowner appealed the denial of rezoning to permit a public gun range. We now have a case number on the OLT website. 

In the meantime, pending severance in September, lots #1 and #3 are for sale. Dunno about the house and land on Lot #2, perhaps they are still renovating the house. It was in pretty bad shape.

The provincially significant wetland ('retained wetlands') is being kept by the landowner, as he runs an outfitting business. He's still hoping for a gun range. 

Here are the two listings, which total about $350,000. He paid $606,000 for the entire parcel. The middle property is still being renovated.

Lot #1 – 1688 Rideau Ferry Rd. Unit #1 $184,900. The listing states: "Drummond-North Elmsley is especially quiet overall, as there tend to be low levels of noise from traffic." I beg to differ: listen to the Motorcycles.

There is no mention of a hunting property and former gun range adjacent. When we bought, no one told us about the noise. This is unethical. This property has lots of noise and traffic, just listen to the noise from Rideau Ferry Rd. The noise is constant. 

Lot #3 – 1688 Rideau Ferry Rd. Unit #3, $164,900. The land isn't legally severed yet. Not until October. It claims is is a quiet area. What a crock!

Sept. 30th – The larger piece of vacant land was $185,000 is now $144,000. The other lot has gone from $165,000 lowered to $140,000. They have been on the market for 46 days. 

This is what the highway is like, cars passing day and night.
