About Hunt Club Woods
Hunt Club Woods takes its name from the Ottawa Hunt and Golf Club, established in 1907 as one of the area's most prestigious private clubs. The neighbourhood's history extends to early 19th century European settlement, when Captain Andrew Wilson built Ossian Hall just north of today's Rivergate condos.
The land was part of the Crawford Purchase of 1783 and designated as Gloucester Township in 1793. The area remained largely rural until annexed into Ottawa in 1950, with significant residential development following in the 1960s and 1970s.
Today, Hunt Club Woods offers scenic living along the Rideau River with access to nature trails and green space. The neighbourhood's predominantly single-family homes on mature lots attract families seeking stability, reflected in the 88% owner-occupancy rate.
