Turn into the driveway at 643 Chemin Marcelais Nord, and that's where it begins: the lane winds down toward the chalet and the lake through mature pines and a wooded forest, the lake appearing in glimpses through the branches before opening up in full view of the chalet. Lac Barrière and Lac Simon connect to one another: together they stretch nearly 20 km end to end in a straight line, offer close to 100 km of shoreline to explore, and cover roughly 32 km² of water. Enough to fill entire summers with motorboating, fishing, or simply cruising around, without ever landing on the same spot twice.
The chalet has a boathouse look that sets the to...ne from the entrance: warm woodwork, abundant natural light, and water views from almost every room. Summer was clearly top of mind here -- the huge, all-opening veranda lets the lake breeze flow through, and the large balcony extends the home outward. Three bedrooms and two full bathrooms give enough room to host the kids, the grandkids, or the friends who'll come back every year.
Along the 120 feet of waterfront, a staircase leads down to the sandy beach, which then slopes gently into the water -- a few steps down, then easy, reassuring access even with kids around. The property sits on a quiet stretch of Chemin Marcelais, which ends in a cul-de-sac a little further along: no through traffic, no visible neighbours, just the sound of the water and the pines.
The home, spread over two floors (about 977 sq ft per floor, close to 1,955 sq ft total), has been cared for with constant attention: the roof was redone in 2011, and dozens of improvements and upkeep projects have been carried out over the years by the same owners. Nothing here has been left to chance.
As for amenities, you're looking at roughly 1h15 from Ottawa and 1h45 from Montréal, with the charming village of Chénéville just minutes away for restaurants, a butcher, and a grocery store -- everything you need without heading back to the city. And the location itself is strategic, sitting between Ottawa, Gatineau, and Montréal, which makes it a sought-after spot for waterfront investment, both for personal use and long-term value.
This property speaks directly to two types of buyers: families with kids or teens looking for a place of their own for summers to come, and retirees or those planning retirement who want a quiet waterfront getaway without giving up access to services.
