Owners’ comments
THE COUNTRY HOME OF THE FUTURE, BY A PRISTINE LAKE BETWEEN MONTREAL AND OTTAWA.
Just an hour from Ottawa and Mont Tremblant and an hour and a half from Montreal, situated on beautiful, pristine Lac Charette and with views overlooking the Ottawa river valley, this superb 3-bedroom, 1,600 ft2 home was the first single-family home ever built in Canada to the international Passive House Standard, the world's most rigorous and demanding standard for energy efficiency. Designed for extreme climate resilience, (Passive House buildings can never freeze, even during a long winter power cut) this house offers a uniquely high level of interior comfort and quality of life. From the 16-inch thick superinsulated walls and floors to the fiberglass triple glazed windows and the world's most efficient ventilation system, in the creation of a supremely comfortable, durable, and environmentally friendly home. The house was featured in several high-profile media such as La Presse, Esquisses, and the TV program Casa Nova.
Although the annual heating bill for this house is under $200 (i.e. 90% less than a normal Canadian house of this size), it also features a high-efficiency wood-burning stove in the main living area for winter ambiance. Interior radiant-heat flooring is commercial-quality Marmoleum, for added comfort and low maintenance, and designer fireplace metalwork, mezzanine, and lighting fixtures round out the extraordinary interior.
The house has a large, fully insulated attached double garage, which could also be converted to additional living space with minimal expense.
Enjoying the outdoors is made easy with a large screened porch, extensive decks, and waterfront access via a wooded path down to a secluded, private dock. The house is located in the private development of Montevilla, with a pool, a tennis court, a lake, and an extensive network of hiking trails accessible to residents. Lac Charette is legally mandated to remain wild and undisturbed beyond the current 33% of the shoreline, making this a place of permanent tranquility and ideal for unwinding from the fast pace of life.
It is also just 10 minutes away from renowned Chateau Montebellos restaurants, golf course, and cross-country ski trails.
