About the area

Prince Edward County, Ontario was rated by Harrowsmith magazine as one of Canada's top 10 rural places to live. The "County" is entirely surrounded by water, with access via bridges and ferry. This area has a rich Loyalist heritage, with agriculture and tourism being two of the main industries.

Prince Edward County is Ontario's newest wine region, with new wineries opening each year. There is a large artists community, providing a richness of art galleries and live entertainment throughout the area.

The closest town, Picton, is a friendly historic town, approx. 2 hours east of Toronto. Glenora is a desirable area east of Picton, along the scenic Loyalist Parkway enroute to Glenora Ferry.

With its beautiful landscapes, and slower pace of life, this area has become very popular for early retirees, and those looking for a safe community to raise their families.
