Owners’ comments

Exceptional Turnkey Knowlton Country Home Approx. 2,000 Sq. Ft. of Beautifully Finished Space
A distinctive country home offering approximately 2,000 sq. ft. of beautifully finished and usable space over two levels, combining extensive renovations, exceptional privacy and the charm of country living just minutes from the heart of Knowlton.

Much more than a traditional 1,000-sq.-ft. bungalow, the home offers approximately 1,000 sq. ft. above grade complemented by a completely finished lower level with full 8-foot ceilings.

Originally constructed in 1978, the home was professionally relocated to its present setting in 2007 and placed on a new foundation built at that time, an important distinction from a typical home of the same age.

Beautifully Renovated Main Level
The bright, open-concept main level features brand-new solid birch hardwood flooring throughout, an extremely large open living room, an open design renovated kitchen, a good sized dining room, two bedrooms and a full bathroom.

At the heart of the home is an impressive custom stone fireplace with airtight insert, highlighted by an 8-foot Pennsylvania Bluestone mantel and substantial exterior stacked-stone chimney. A second fireplace in the lower living space adds further warmth and character to the home.

A Lower Level That Feels Like Living Space
The completely rebuilt lower level features full 8-foot ceilings, creating the comfortable proportions and feeling of genuine living space rather than a traditional basement.

Finished with brand-new composite flooring, this level includes a spacious family/living area, an extra large bedroom, walk in clothes closet, full bathroom, laundry area, workshop and generous storage space.

Together, the two levels provide approximately 2,000 sq. ft. of finished and highly usable space, making the home considerably more spacious than its above-grade measurement alone would suggest.

Designed for Comfort and Low-Maintenance Country Living
The property features two large decks, a large two-car garage with loft, two driveways and parking for approximately 10 vehicles.

For exceptional durability and reduced long-term maintenance, the home, lower deck and two-car garage all have metal roofs. Additional features include composite decking, a heat pump providing both heating and air conditioning, 200-amp electrical service, generator setup and a brand-new 60-gallon hot-water tank.

Exceptional Privacy Surrounded by Nature
One of the property's most remarkable features is its setting.

The approximately 10,000-sq.-ft. property backs directly onto roughly 75 acres of protected natural habitat that cannot be developed, creating an exceptional sense of privacy and connection with nature.

Enjoy the changing seasons, abundant wildlife and peaceful natural surroundings from your own backyard without the maintenance, taxes and responsibility associated with owning a large acreage property. And talk about incredible country living. 6 minutes to Brome Lake (fishing, boating, swimming, walking trails, Douglas Beach, Knowlton Marina). And what about winter activities? Close to 9 ski resorts (Bromont, Sutton, Mont Orford, Owl's Head, Smuggler's Notch, Bolton Valley Resort, Jay Peak, Mont Shefford, Stowe Mountain Resort).  

Shopping (groceries, restaurants, cafes, micro breweries, wineries, gift shops, clothing stores, Lac Brome Farmer's market)

Book Store - Home of Louise Penny and Three Pines books

Little to no traffic.

It is a rare combination: the privacy and atmosphere of a much larger country estate on a manageable property, while remaining close to the shops, restaurants and services of the charming village of Knowlton and beautiful Lac-Brome.

A Truly Turnkey Opportunity
For purchasers looking for an exceptionally easy transition to country living, an extensive collection of quality furnishings, appliances and other contents is available separately by negotiation.

The home is beautifully furnished with quality leather furniture, fully furnished bedrooms, 4 televisions, office furnishings and equipped workstations, along with major and additional appliances. And how about that Cub Cadet lawn tractor and snow blower.

This provides a purchaser with the opportunity, if desired, to acquire a beautifully equipped, move-in-ready country residence and begin enjoying the Knowlton lifestyle immediately.

Furnishings, appliances and other contents are available separately by negotiation and are not included in the $789,000 asking price.

A Rare Knowlton Offering
With approximately 2,000 sq. ft. of finished space over two levels, full 8-foot lower-level ceilings, a 2007 foundation, completely finished lower level, brand-new hardwood and composite flooring, large double garage, multiple metal roofs and approximately 75 acres of protected natural habitat directly behind the property, this is far more than a traditional bungalow.

It is a beautifully maintained and thoughtfully upgraded country home offering comfort, character, privacy and nature in one of the Eastern Townships' most desirable communities.

Move in, settle in and enjoy the very best of the Knowlton country lifestyle.

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!
