You may not know this, but Ottawa has some truly incredible homes available for purchase.

Now, for most people, these are outside of their price range, but it's always fun to explore and discover just what's out there.

From castles to lakefront property, from multiple saunas to a wine cellar that fits 1,000 bottles, we've scoured the internet to find the most beautiful, stunning and frankly outrageous, homes available today.

If you're lucky enough to win the lottery, you too could own one of these!

Without further delay, let's see what Ottawa has to offer.

1. Live in a castle

This place listed for $3.4 million is one you won’t soon forget.

And talk about a washroom fit for a king…

3. Your dream patio

We’ve got another riverfront property, this one on the Ottawa River just on the Quebec side. When you drive up to it, it doesn’t look like much, but holy moly from the river side of the house, it can’t be beat.
