Acquiring Crown Land

The Ministry of Natural Resources no longer actively markets or sells Crown land for private recreational or residential use. 

Over the past few years, the Ministry has focused its efforts on working with northern Ontario communities, to make Crown land available at market value to support local economic development, rather than directly selling individual Crown land parcels to prospective buyers.  As such, the Ministry’s field offices and website no longer list individual, surplus Crown lands for sale.

If you would like to acquire recreational or residential property in Ontario, please contact the local real estate offices in the areas you are interested in or if you have access to the Internet, make use of the Canadian Real Estate Association multiple listing service at www.mls.ca
