Your Perfect Prince Edward County Lifestyle

Young's Cove is designed around the outdoors. Within the community itself, residents have access to kilometres of walking and cycling pathways, a zen park for quiet reflection, and a proposed children's water park. The community borders 7,000 feet of Lake Ontario shoreline — making boating, kayaking, canoeing, fishing, and open-water swimming part of everyday life rather than a special occasion. On the water, nearby marinas and sailing clubs provide access to Lake Ontario for boating and sailing enthusiasts. Year-round, the surrounding landscape rewards every season: hiking and cycling in spring and summer, snowmobiling and cross-country skiing in winter, and birding and wildlife watching whenever the mood strikes. Multiple golf courses are also located in the immediate area.

Young's Cove is the only master-planned waterfront community in Prince Edward County, offering 7,000 feet of Lake Ontario shoreline, protected wetlands, and hundreds of acres of preserved forest woven into the community's site plan. Unlike cottage clusters or resort-style subdivisions, Young's Cove is planned as a full residential community — with distinct collections, on-site amenities, and a natural setting that has been deliberately protected rather than cleared. Two collections serve different buyer profiles: the Vineyard Collection offers 65 ft lots nestled in green spaces, ideal for families and those seeking community; the Lake Collection offers 150 ft lots with direct lake and dune views, designed for buyers who want the full lakefront experience. That combination — scale, setting, and choice — is not found elsewhere in the county.

Young's Cove sits within easy reach of three of Ontario's most celebrated provincial parks. Sandbanks Provincial Park — famous for its towering white sand dunes and one of the largest freshwater sandbar systems in the world — is a short drive away, as is Presqu'ile Provincial Park, known for its exceptional birding, swimming beaches, and historic lighthouse. North Beach Provincial Park offers quieter swimming and open lake views. Together, these parks give Young's Cove residents access to some of the finest natural landscapes in eastern Ontario, all without leaving the county.

New single-family home developments in Prince Edward County are rare — the region is predominantly resale, heritage, and rural properties. Young's Cove by Briarwood Development Group represents one of the only purpose-built new home communities currently available in the broader county area, offering buyers the opportunity to own a newly constructed single-family home with modern finishes and full community planning in a region where new builds are genuinely uncommon. Briarwood Development Group is an established Ontario developer with a 28-year track record of communities across the province, bringing the credibility of an experienced builder to one of Ontario's most desirable destinations.

Prince Edward County has evolved well beyond a seasonal destination. The region — known affectionately as "The County" — now draws full-time residents, remote workers, retirees, and families drawn by its combination of natural beauty, cultural richness, and a pace of life that's genuinely different from the city. Wellington, Picton, and Brighton each offer independent shops, acclaimed restaurants, galleries, and farmers' markets that operate throughout the year. Young's Cove is located in Carrying Place near Quinte West, placing residents within easy reach of everyday essentials in Belleville and Trenton, while the broader Prince Edward County lifestyle — farm-to-table dining, open-air festivals, antique shops, arts studios — provides the kind of richness that rewards living here in every season.

Young's Cove is approximately 2 hours from Toronto, 2.5 hours from Ottawa, and roughly 3.5 hours from Montreal — making it one of the most accessible waterfront communities in Ontario for buyers relocating from any of Canada's three largest cities. The community is located on County Rd. 64 in Quinte West, with convenient highway access from all three cities. For remote workers and retirees in particular, that distance strikes a rare balance: genuinely removed from city life, without being unreachable from it.

Young's Cove operates an appointment-only Presentation Centre at 2247 County Rd. 64, Quinte West. You can book your visit, register for pricing and floor plans, or request information about both the Vineyard and Lake Collections through the contact page. Homesites in the Lake Collection are limited. If direct lakefront access is your priority, booking early gives you the widest choice of lots and orientations.
