About This Property
234 Ridgemont Drive is a custom-built modern home in Ashton — fifteen minutes from Kanata, ten from Carleton Place and Stittsville, but a world away from any of them. Set on 1.27 acres with 155 feet of frontage and 345 feet of depth, this is one of the larger, more private lots on Ridgemont — fully surrounded by mature tree privacy, with a long private drive that opens onto a three-car attached garage. The home was purpose-built in 2021 with just under 3,000 square feet of above-grade living space and the kind of natural light that only comes from a place that was designed once, by people who knew exactly what they wanted.
The kitchen is the heart of the home, and it was designed for people who actually cook. High-end cabinetry runs the room. The full appliance package is Miele and Jenn-Air — an integrated side-by-side fridge and freezer, a built-in oven, a speed oven, an espresso/coffee maker, a warming drawer, and a microwave, all built in. A six-burner gas range with pot filler anchors the cooking wall, with a hood fan above. Quartz counters and a quartz backsplash, an abundance of drawers, a well-placed window over the prep space, and tons of storage. Off the kitchen, a butler’s pantry with a beverage fridge and a wine fridge, plus a custom wine room — the entertaining infrastructure already in place.
Open from the kitchen is the family room: coffered ceiling, gas fireplace with a custom stone surround, and two massive patio doors that open the room straight out onto a large deck spanning the rear of the property. Hardwood floors run throughout. Large-scale tile in the foyer. The home is wired for the way you actually live — a Lutron HomeWorks lighting system, integrated speakers throughout, motorized custom window coverings on every window, and integrated accent lighting that runs all the way up the staircase.
Upstairs, the primary is a true retreat — walk-in closet, custom focal wall, a spa-style ensuite with an oversized shower and a soaker tub, and views straight out over the back of the property. Three more bedrooms upstairs, all generous. Below, nearly 1,700 square feet of unspoiled basement with high ceilings and a bath rough-in — a blank canvas for a gym, a theatre, or an in-law suite.
Out back, the deck looks out over a fully treed and farm-bordered lot. Room for a pool, a hot tub, or a skating rink in the winter. Full irrigation system, mature landscaping. This is Ashton, so you get country — but Stittsville is ten minutes, Carleton Place is ten, Kanata is fifteen, and the 417 is right there. You’re not trading convenience for acreage. You’re getting both. If you’ve been waiting for a newer custom build on a real piece of land, on a quiet street where the neighbours show incredible pride of ownership, this is the one to come see.
