Charming renovated ancestral house on the waterfront

Relax to the sound of waterbirds and the waves of the St. Lawrence River in this charming ancestral home located in Leclercville in the Lotbinière region. This waterfront property is located 1 hour from Quebec City and 40m from Bécancour. Built in 1875 and completely renovated in 2022, this house has retained all its charm of yesteryear thanks to its original paneling, while offering modern comfort

.

Testifying to its rich past, this house has walls and floors with a unique charm, typical of ancestral homes over 150 years old. These characteristics will appeal to those who appreciate the authenticity and history of this type of home

.

The house is connected to municipal services and high speed internet access is available both in fiber optic and cable. Please note that the sale is taxable and does not include the legal warranty.

Interior layout

This intimate home has two upstairs bedrooms with low, enveloping ceilings, creating a warm and comfortable atmosphere. On the ground floor, you will find a bathroom with bath-shower, the living room and a dream kitchen including a laundry area

.

Secondary pavilion

Outside, enjoy the large pavilion with three large openings equipped with magnetic mosquito nets in summer and transparent vinyl canvases in winter. This pavilion, slightly larger than the house itself, is perfect for relaxing away from the weather while staying close to nature. A small spa is also located there, offering an ideal space to relax while watching the canal.

The pavilion significantly increases the living area, adding considerable value to the property and allowing you to take full advantage of the surrounding natural environment in summer and winter.

Outdoor layout

The intimate land on the banks of the canal, next to Parc de l'Île, offers a fireplace designed to admire the view of the river and the passage of ships in the distance. You feel alone in the world on this land, enjoying exceptional tranquility and serenity. On the canal, you can sometimes observe kayakers, paddleboarders, and numerous waterbirds that love the canal. A children's play area covered in mulch has also been set up, providing a safe and fun place for younger children.

About Leclercville

Located in the heart of the village of Leclercville, this house is located in a neighborhood composed of small ancestral houses accessible to pedestrians thanks to its narrow streets with a human dimension. This neighborhood is one of the few places with easy access to the St. Lawrence River along Highway 132 in the region, unlike the majority of neighboring villages perched on top of cliffs. The Leclercville wharf and the Île Park at the mouth of the Chêne River are accessible on foot from the house. The wharf is also a popular spot for fishing enthusiasts, where you can find sturgeon and bass

.

The neighborhood is ideal for walking or cycling, with a few shops nearby. Cars are required to travel to nearby villages for grocery stores and gas stations. For water sports enthusiasts, there is a boat launch at the municipal wharf, and it is possible to put a kayak or a paddle board into the water directly from the field

.

This home is located in a peaceful residential neighborhood with immediate neighbours, perfect for couples and families with young children.

Located on a narrow cul-de-sac street with only one front neighbor, it offers a quiet, intimate and relaxing living environment.

Inclusions and exclusions

The price includes blinds and curtains, light fixtures, the dishwasher, the refrigerator, the large mosquito nets and vinyl sheets of the openings of the pavilion and the spa.

Home automation devices such as smart locks, Wi-Fi routers, smart doorbells, and surveillance cameras are excluded from sale.

Renovations

The house was raised in 1996 to accommodate a new sunken foundation. It has also been re-insulated with urethane from the outside, making it very comfortable and waterproof.

In 2022, major renovations worth $45,000 were completed:
  • Replacing windows in the house
  • Installing a double garden door
  • Exterior painting of the two buildings
  • Complete kitchen renovation (cabinets, counters, backsplash, plumbing, electricity)
  • New luxury vinyl slat floors (VLP)
  • Complete bathroom renovation
  • Replacing windows
  • Heating
  • Pavilion layout (3 large openings, interior paint, lighting, patio tile flooring)

Short-term rental

The house, marketed for short-term rental under the name "Le Havre du Canal", is currently offered for short-term rental, generating good income and being very popular with its customers. It benefits from excellent marketing on various channels, such as Airbnb, VRBO and a direct reservation site ChaletsbordduFleuve.ca. The house has a CITQ permit in good standing. The asking price only includes the unfurnished house and the sale is taxable. However, if someone wants to buy it furnished and already equipped for rent, they can make an offer accordingly, and it will be considered. If the buyer continues with the short-term rental, he can claim taxes. If the buyer also wishes to acquire the ChaletsbordduFleuve.ca brand, this may be the subject of separate negotiation. Note that we have a second house, "Le Havre du Navigateur" in Deschaillons (ad #1078736) which is also for sale. Both houses can be sold together to a single operator.

The steps involved in buying a property

Could this property be “the one”? Here’s an overview of the steps involved in becoming the owner. These steps and the legal implications remain the same whether the property is purchased from an individual or through a broker.

1
Financing

One of the first things to do when looking for a property is to get a mortgage preapproval from a financial institution. The goal is to determine borrowing capacity, and as a result, the price range to be looking in.

2
Offer to purchase

The property suits the budget and needs? Time to submit an offer to purchase! This document sets out the price, the elements included in the sale, the possession date, the conditions of purchase and all other information relevant to the sale.

Need the form?

Documents to download

3
Conditions of purchase

The offer to purchase generally includes conditions. The most common are the property passing an inspection, the buyer providing proof of financing and the buyer selling their own property. Once the listed conditions are met, the property is considered sold.

4
Property transfer

The last step is to see a notary, who is generally chosen by the buyer. This real estate professional drafts the deed of sale and ensures that the interests of all parties involved are respected.

Once the deed of sale is notarized, the new owner gets the keys to the home. All that’s left is to move in!
