Centennial restored, Mont-Orford trails at the door, vast landscaped grounds. At the heart of the Magog-Eastman-Orford triangle and its recreational and cultural life.

Description

Small heritage country house made of cedar shingles, New England style. 85% of it was rebuilt in 2015, and has approximately 860 square feet of weighted living space (approximately 960 real square feet including the mezzanine under the eaves and the adjoining attic). Move-in possible in May.

The original frame was preserved for decorative purposes, then embedded in a completely new structure, in order to highlight the cachet of the beams and ancient materials. Thanks to this original architecture, the kitchen and the master bedroom benefit from 12-foot cathedral-style ceilings, and the living and dining room have a 16-foot high hallway. The open concept ground floor is thus bathed in light and gives an impression of remarkable space for the area. The hardwood floors, some of which are original, as well as the suspended light fixtures and ceiling lights (included in the sale) contribute to the unique and warm atmosphere

.

The mezzanine (extra bedroom or office) and the adjoining attic (for storage) are accessed by a built-in ladder, a fun way to maximize space. The house is based on a heated crawl space. It is completed by a large workshop of approximately 10 x 20 feet (200 ft²) on a gravel bed, electrified but unheated, ideal for DIY, outdoor equipment storage or an artist studio project

.

A great asset of the property is its 22,080 ft² (approximately ½ acre) land, laid out in a large landscaped garden, facing south and west for maximum sunshine. There is a vegetable garden, an outdoor fireplace, a small pond, perennial beds, and huge pine trees. In summer, in addition to coniferous hedges, an 8-foot high rush hedge provides real privacy, with no immediate neighbors on three sides. Lake Orford (without direct access) is a five-minute walk away, below the historic Chemin des Diligences, in a cul-de-sac, which invites you to take a leisurely stroll. The unobstructed view of the Orford and Giroux mountains, as well as the waterfall of the Ruisseau des Chênes opposite, reinforces the impression of being in the middle of nature

.

Outdoor enthusiasts will be served: just a stone's throw from the house, there is direct access to the trails of Mont-Orford National Park to the north, and to the Estrie Trails to the south, for tens of kilometers of hiking, cross-country skiing or snowshoeing. The Mont-Orford ski slopes are 10 minutes away by car. Downtown Magog, with its beaches, restaurants, restaurants, cafes, cafes, bars, services and cultural activities, is 15 minutes away. The flowery village of Eastman is 10 minutes away, as is the highway and an incentive park for Montreal-Sherbrooke coaches

.

Note: the property is located near route 112 and a railway line. There are approximately two train crossings per day, and car traffic is rare at night. These elements may be an inconvenience for some people, but they are offset by the tranquility of the cul-de-sac path, the absence of close neighbours, and the exceptional natural setting

.

This house is perfect for a couple, a single person or a small family looking for a warm pied-a-terre in Estrie, a second home or a place to live all year round combining charm, nature and proximity to absolutely all services.

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.

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!
