Imagine your mornings at the water's edge, hot coffee in hand, with a breathtaking view of Lac Sapin, peaceful and navigable. Located in Bois-Franc, in the Outaouais region, on the edge of the Laurentians, this four-season cottage is the only permanent residence of the 4 chalets on the lake. It was completely renovated in 2024-2025 combining rustic charm and modern comfort ready to welcome your relaxing moments, your vacations or your short-term rental projects

A unique chalet, surrounded by fascinating biodiversity and absolute tranquility. As soon as you arrive, the tone is set: a great blue heron on the wall pays tribute to the soul of the place. Here, bustards, loons, fish and deer live side by side, while the majestic flights of herons punctuate the landscape

A complete renovation, with attention to every detail. A warm and inspiring interior. Each room has been redesigned: floors, kitchen, bathroom, light fixtures and furniture, everything is new and harmonious. All furniture, appliances and supplies are included.

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!
