Nestled in the heart of the Eastern Townships countryside,
this exceptional property, where time seems to slow down,
offers tranquility, privacy, and vastness. A true haven of
peace, it spans 77.6 acres of unspoiled nature, where
forest, meadows, a lake, and private trails create a rare
bucolic setting, ideal for family or community living
projects in perfect harmony with nature.

The property includes a private, swimmable lake of
approximately one acre, two large fields cultivated without
chemical inputs, and a wetland teeming with biodiversity.
Numerous trails invite hiking, biking, cross-country
skiing, and snowshoeing in all seasons. The prized hunting
grounds further enhance the recreational value of the
property.

Despite this feeling of complete seclusion, the location
remains strategic. Located near Mount Pinacle, Lyster Lake
beach, and a golf club, this property is 15 minutes from
Ayer's Cliff, 20 minutes from the highway, 30 minutes from
Magog, and approximately 1.5 hours from Montreal.

This century-old home, meticulously maintained and
renovated, has preserved its authentic charm while
incorporating significant upgrades. Upon entering, a
spacious and inviting foyer with a wood-burning stove and
stone wall creates a welcoming atmosphere. The solid wood
floors, woodwork, and exposed beams highlight the home's
unique character.

It offers six bedrooms, two of which feature superior
soundproofing and ensuite bathrooms, ensuring great
flexibility. A main-floor office, adjacent to a second
entrance hall, is ideal for a home-based business. The
inviting kitchen features a large central island with two
sinks, wood cabinetry, and ample storage. The living and
dining rooms, bathed in light and partially crowned by a
cathedral ceiling, offer breathtaking views of the lake and
surrounding nature.

Upstairs, a charming library leads to six bedrooms with
practical layouts, promoting both privacy and communal
living. The spaces are designed to comfortably accommodate
several families or a community project.

Extensive renovations have been completed, including a
metal roof, high-end insulation, hemlock siding, new
windows, electrical service, an artesian well, and an
oversized septic system.

The outbuildings, including a detached garage, workshops, a
barn/stable, and a chicken coop, offer vast potential for
agricultural, creative, or recreational projects.

The agricultural zoning with residential grandfathering
allows for the subdivision of the lot and, under certain
conditions, the construction of additional dwellings.

It is perfectly suited to intergenerational families,
cohabitation of several family units, rural entrepreneurs,
those who value self-sufficiency and ecology, as well as
buyers looking for an authentic lifestyle in harmony with
nature.
