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 2.55-acre property offers direct waterfront on a clean and tranquil navigable pond, surrounded by pastoral fields and mountain views. It's located only 20 minutes from Vermont. Highlights:- Mixed-use zoning (residential + commercial)- loads of on-site parking- Waterfront property- Forced-air heating with heat pump (A/C + heat)- AirbnB / CITQ certification included for short-term rentals.
Multiple revenue sources Restaurant & pub revenues, short-term rentals, wedding venue rentals. The site is currently one of the KFF Film Festival venues for outdoor cinema... varied and multi-layered potential as an income property. Given the building's age and the fact it was purchased without legal warranty, it is being sold without legal warranty (as is).
