Some properties offer a home. This one offers a lifestyle.

Welcome to 87 Chemin Ojai, an exceptional residence perched at the end of a quiet dead-end street in Chelsea's prestigious Ridge Group community. Surrounded by nature on a beautifully landscaped 44,882 sq.ft. wooded lot, this remarkable property enjoys direct access to the renowned Chelsea Trails, allowing you to step from your backyard onto kilometres of hiking, mountain biking, snowshoeing, and cross-country ski trails.

Located just 15 minutes from downtown Ottawa and only 4 km from Highway 5, the property offers an extraordinary combination of privacy, convenience, and year-round outdoor living.

The 2,240 sq.ft. main residence showcases timeless craftsmanship throughout. Rich hardwood flooring, custom wood windows and patio doors, and solid cedar interior doors create a warm, authentic atmosphere rarely found in newer homes.
The living room is centred around a beautiful British cast-iron propane fireplace framed by a natural granite surround, while the expansive family room enjoys panoramic forest views and the inviting warmth of a pellet stove.

Designed for everyday living, the kitchen offers abundant wood cabinetry, a double sink, and premium JennAir appliances while remaining open to the main living spaces.

Upstairs, the spacious primary suite serves as a peaceful retreat featuring vaulted ceilings, a private balcony perfect for morning coffee, 3 additional bedrooms and a beautifully appointed bathroom with double vanity, separate shower, and deep soaker tub.

The finished basement adds valuable living space with a large recreation area, workshop, abundant storage, and convenient double-door walkout access.

Outdoor living is equally impressive, featuring a large entertaining deck with built-in hot tub, gazebo, natural stone retaining walls, low-voltage landscape lighting, an outdoor fire pit surrounded by Adirondack chairs, and a large storage shed--all surrounded by mature trees that provide exceptional privacy.

Above the detached double garage, a fully self-contained guest suite offers a kitchen, full bathroom, BIS wood-burning fireplace, dedicated internet connection, and private accommodations ideal for extended family, visitors, or a home office.

Significant upgrades include a new Enviro-Septic system (2019), roofs replaced in 2020 and 2024, 200-amp electrical service in the main house, a 100-amp panel in the garage, Bell Fibre internet, Nest smart home devices, central air conditioning, and a chemical-free iron removal water treatment system.

A truly exceptional Chelsea property where nature, craftsmanship, privacy, and modern comfort come together to create an extraordinary place to call home.
