Arrived near the residence, you will discover a landscaping of great beauty even if it is composed almost entirely of perennials. You will begin to live a great peace...

This domain includes:

74 acre maple grove with maple syrup quota

Currently rented until 2022 with annual revenues of more than $7,000 /year, this maple grove could then be exploited by the buyer. Also, there is the possibility of renegotiating the lease when buying or waiting for the end of the lease. Also, the tenant is currently looking into the possibility of buying it separately from the residence. The value of this maple grove is the main asset of the estate according to our appraiser.

Main residence (cottage) with attached centenary secondary residence, independent, renovated in respect and accessible by a greenhouse. Two worlds, harmoniously integrated, which gives the whole an apparent age of 18 according to our evaluator, while the cottage was built in 1976. This apparent age rests on a multitude of renovations / modifications over the years. The owners occupy the main residence and the centenary house serves as a guest house. The centennial home could be easily converted to a cottage / farm cottage, or used as a bi-generation home, or as a support staff house. The two residences, built before the coming into force of the Act Respecting the Protection of Agricultural Land and Agricultural Activities (1978), have an acquired right and could therefore be sold separately from the agricultural land, with a maximum of 107,640 sq. ft. Currently, no steps or subdivisions have been made to take advantage of this acquired right. A global sale would be preferred by the seller.
