Description

More than just a property, a land of opportunity. Offering 77.6 acres of natural beauty in the Eastern Townships, this unique estate provides privacy, freedom, and rare potential. Forest, meadows, a private swimming lake, trails, and remarkable biodiversity create an ideal setting for family, intergenerational, community, agricultural, or recreational projects. A renovated century-old house with 6 bedrooms is suitable for shared living or a home-based business. Additional outbuildings, agricultural zoning with acquired residential rights, and subdivision potential complete the property. An exceptional opportunity to build your dream home.

Nestled in the heart of the Eastern Townships countryside, this exceptional property, where time seems to slow down, offers tranquility, privacy, and vastness. A true haven of peace, it spans 77.6 acres of unspoiled nature, where forest, meadows, a lake, and private trails create a rare bucolic setting, ideal for family or community living projects in perfect harmony with nature.

The property includes a private, swimmable lake of approximately one acre, two large fields cultivated without chemical inputs, and a wetland teeming with biodiversity. Numerous trails invite hiking, biking, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing in all seasons. The prized hunting grounds further enhance the recreational value of the property.

Despite this feeling of complete seclusion, the location remains strategic. Located near Mount Pinacle, Lyster Lake beach, and a golf club, this property is 15 minutes from Ayer's Cliff, 20 minutes from the highway, 30 minutes from Magog, and approximately 1.5 hours from Montreal.

This century-old home, meticulously maintained and renovated, has preserved its authentic charm while incorporating significant upgrades. Upon entering, a spacious and inviting foyer with a wood-burning stove and stone wall creates a welcoming atmosphere. The solid wood floors, woodwork, and exposed beams highlight the home's unique character.

It offers six bedrooms, two of which feature superior soundproofing and ensuite bathrooms, ensuring great flexibility. A main-floor office, adjacent to a second entrance hall, is ideal for a home-based business. The inviting kitchen features a large central island with two sinks, wood cabinetry, and ample storage. The living and dining rooms, bathed in light and partially crowned by a cathedral ceiling, offer breathtaking views of the lake and surrounding nature.

Upstairs, a charming library leads to six bedrooms with practical layouts, promoting both privacy and communal living. The spaces are designed to comfortably accommodate several families or a community project.

Extensive renovations have been completed, including a metal roof, high-end insulation, hemlock siding, new windows, electrical service, an artesian well, and an oversized septic system.

The outbuildings, including a detached garage, workshops, a barn/stable, and a chicken coop, offer vast potential for agricultural, creative, or recreational projects.

The agricultural zoning with residential grandfathering allows for the subdivision of the lot and, under certain conditions, the construction of additional dwellings.

It is perfectly suited to intergenerational families, cohabitation of several family units, rural entrepreneurs, those who value self-sufficiency and ecology, as well as buyers looking for an authentic lifestyle in harmony with nature.
