The land and location
Right at the start of the road, this post-and-beam style masterpiece sits on a wooded 13,549.3 m² lot -- 3.348 acres, 145,843.8 sq. ft. No neighbour in sight from the back: just the forest.
Right on the border of the municipality of Lac-Supérieur, about 17 min. from the Versant Nord ski slopes. Across chemin Vendette, the trails of the UQAM Outdoor Centre run almost to the property: snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and hiking along the Rivière Archambault, right on UQAM's own land. The Le Nordet cycling network, close by, is another option for riding or for reaching Saint-Donat.
The construction
Built in 2007 for its... current owners, who have lived there since, to Novoclimat standards, with triple-glazed windows -- High energy efficiency standards; the Hydro bill is proof of that! Well-maintained over the years: Maibec siding repainted/recaulked regularly, deck and stairs entirely rebuilt in 2026, 3 windows replaced under warranty in 2023. No structural issues and no unresolved claims according to the seller's declaration.
The main floor
An impressive central staircase, post-and-beam, links the three levels. Living room with cathedral ceiling, floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, large windows onto the forest. Island kitchen open to the dining room. Screened veranda and, separately, a large sun-drenched balcony. Three bedrooms (one near the entrance could serve as an office) and one full bathroom. Two identical bedrooms, back to back, could be combined into a primary suite on the same level as the main living areas.
The mezzanine
Primary suite, cathedral ceiling, overlooking the living room below. Large walk-in closet, ensuite bathroom, and separate powder room.
The garden level
A true walk-out garden level, not a basement: independent exterior entrance, bright. Home theatre with 3D projector and 120-inch screen, designed with acoustics in mind, games room, family room with a second wood-burning fireplace, and a convenient kitchenette so there's no need to go back up to the main kitchen. Bedroom and full bathroom for guests.
The garage and workshop
Double garage. Insulated, electric-baseboard-heated workshop with a long 19'10" x 2'1" counter -- ideal for ski waxing or as a workbench.
Systems
Electric furnace and central heat pump (2023), generator, air exchanger, Ecoflo septic system for 4 bedrooms, Cogeco 1 Gb/s fibre internet, Garda World alarm system which can be managed worldwide via the alarm.com app (for a secondary residence, being able to see status and manage arm/disarm remotely is very reassuring). Same with the CCTV.
Short-term rental
Permitted in the area, but granted by the municipality on a case-by-case basis -- to be verified by the buyer.
