South side outer

Kilarney, country quiet, city access.

A patchwork of country roads and acreage just outside the south end of Fredericton. Larger lots, quiet evenings, and the trade-off most buyers signal up for: a 15 minute drive in exchange for real privacy.

The character

Less a neighbourhood than a corridor of country roads, with newer custom builds sprinkled between older established homesteads. Most properties sit on one to five acres with mature trees, and the road density drops dramatically once you turn off the main routes.

Who buys here

Buyers who want a real backyard and no shared walls, often after a few years in a city subdivision. Tradespeople who need a workshop or storage for equipment. Families with horses or dogs that need room. Retirees building forever-homes on land they bought years ago.

Price range, 2026

Wide. Smaller older homes on country lots can be found from $350,000. Modern custom builds on three to five acres routinely run $700,000 to $1.1 million. Land alone, in the right pocket, can fetch $90,000 to $150,000 per acre depending on access and frontage.

What I would flag

Wells, septic systems, and sometimes private roads. Always pull the well water test, the septic record, and any road maintenance agreement. Power outages happen more often than in town, so a wired-in generator is common.

If you are weighing acreage versus suburb, I can show you what the trade really looks like in dollars and time. Book a call.

This corner of greater Fredericton is where the best country properties surface, often quietly. I keep an eye on it.
