Owners’ comments

A rare opportunity to own a turnkey live/work property where heritage, hospitality, and lifestyle meet. Nestled between five of the region's most beloved ski mountains: Bromont, Sutton, Orford, Owls Head, and Jay Peak (Vermont), The Thirsty Boot was founded as an après-ski pub in the 1960's and is an iconic spot in the Eastern Townships. This classic country pub has recently been reborn as a premier small live-music venue, attracting internationally-touring artists who praise its warmth, acoustics, and authenticity.

The main level features the fully equipped pub, resto and stage & dance floor with new flooring, an upgraded kitchen, new heat pump and furnace (A/C + heat), and high-speed internet. The second floor features a renovated 2-bedroom apartment plus a separate 2-bedroom, 1 bath dormitory unit that sleeps 6 for short-term rentals, artist residencies, or an owner's home with additional income potential. A wood-burning stove located in the basement adds warmth and charm. Recent upgrades include: New flooring and deck construction Expanded kitchen with new counters and sink Renovated apartments and bathrooms Exterior steel staircase and panic-bar doors; New windows and electrical panel; Repairs to roof and soffits; new hot water heater.

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!
