A Home, In Their Words

The life outside the walls

If you ask what the owners will miss most, it isn't any single room — it's the life outside the walls.

In summer the days blur happily together with swimming, tennis, boating, and long golden evenings on the trails that wind through the neighbourhood. There's always somewhere to wander and something to do.

And then winter arrives, and the lake gives something even more special.

The community comes together to clear and maintain a skating rink right out on the ice — for the kids, for the adults, for anyone who wants to lace up. There is genuinely something to do here in every month of the year.

More than anything, Sparkling Lake has a way of making you feel welcome. Neighbours wave, look out for one another, and every now and then a friendly deer wanders up to say hello — as much a part of this community as anyone.

With love, the Owners6881 Sparkling Lake Way

Neighbourhood & Lifestyle

A community that feels
like a private resort

Summer water sports
Summer on the Water

Two lakes, a short walk away

Full access to the South Village amenities — swimming lake, pool, tennis, and gym — all covered by a ~$400 annual association fee, with a pool that's rarely busy. In summer, enjoy water sports on South Village Lake and Sunset Lake, including water-skiing.

Winter rink
Winter on the Ice

A rink the whole community keeps

When winter arrives, the community comes together to clear and maintain a skating rink right on the lake. An exclusive, breathtaking path runs from the arbor to the Sunset community trail — and a private side entry leads straight out for dog-walking and exclusive access to the community trail. The Greely Loop is a local gem for biking or walking across the neighbourhood.

Family & Community

Prestigious, safe & welcoming

A warm, established community where neighbours look out for one another. The school bus picks up right at the driveway, with two excellent options nearby: Castor Valley Elementary — among the top-rated in Ottawa — and Greely Elementary School. Fireworks at the lakes and a summer neighbourhood BBQ round out the calendar.
