Living in Val-d'Espoir means stepping off the beaten path. Nestled along Route des Pères, this home embraces the beauty of the velvety mountains that form the backdrop of Percé's hinterland. Val-d'Espoir is a quaint hamlet where long country roads stretch across rolling valleys, dotted with streams and hidden waterfalls known only to locals.

The property lies just outside the village, home to the visionary Permaculture School of Percé. Only steps away, the renowned nano-brewery Auval welcomes visitors with its tasting kiosk and fields of crops. Here, everything breathes tranquility and the gentle rhythm of life in nature.

A discreet, windin...g gravel driveway leads to the home, bordered by a row of cedars that ensures privacy. The spacious, landscaped lot features mature trees--both evergreens and hardwoods--inviting relaxation and contemplation. From the dining room, French doors open to a large west-facing terrace overlooking the forest. A stream runs along the south side of the property. At night, the skies reveal dazzling northern lights and breathtaking constellations.

Built in 1989, the house stands proudly with its gables, white-paned windows, cedar shingle siding, and a wide veranda wrapping around two façades. Secondary buildings are thoughtfully arranged: a large 40' x 20' garage with concrete floor and retractable stairway to the loft, a 16' x 12' shed, and a small chicken coop.

Inside, the side entrance opens onto bright open living areas. A simple pine staircase wraps around a vintage gray brick chimney, connecting the basement to the upper floor. The dining and living rooms are bathed in natural light. The semi-open kitchen is both practical and well-equipped with cabinetry and two corner windows offering woodland views at sunset. A small office and powder room complete the main level.

Upstairs, the spacious primary bedroom features optimized storage. A bathroom with clawfoot tub and separate shower serves two additional bedrooms with mirrored sliding-door closets. The unfinished basement includes concrete floors, a laundry area, a large open space, and outdoor access from the mechanical room.
