| Large modern country style house of 1716 square feet on a |
| split levels, to which is added a large garage with two |
| doors and an area of 560 square feet. |
| Everything has been designed for maximum comfort of life in |
| the countryside, thanks to its large 19.75-acre lot which |
| also offers access to the Gatineau River with 616 feet |
| (189.9 meters) of frontage. |
| A large 56-foot (17-meter) gallery under a 5.5-foot |
| (1.7-meter) cornice runs along the east and south facades |
| of the house. On the south side is a 20 by 33 feet patio on |
| two levels, the lowest overlooking the pool. The highest |
| part of the patio sits at the same height as the porch and |
| hosts a 12-by-12 gazebo with cornices that protrude two |
| feet. |
| The planning of the house has been designed to make the |
| most of the sunlight. Thanks to the 5.5-foot cornices, the |
| afternoon summer sun does not penetrate directly into the |
| dining room and main living area. In winter, it's the |
| opposite, with the sun's rays warming the house from the |
| first hours. |
| Even from the inside, you can enjoy the countryside to the |
| fullest. No matter where you are, you always have a view of |
| the forest and the surrounding greenery thanks to the 17 |
| windows. |
| The house is equipped with a forced-air electric furnace |
| coupled with an air exchanger. |
| A wood-burning stove with built-in fan, located in the |
| garage, provides additional heating capable of keeping the |
| whole house warm in the event of a power failure. |
| In the event of a power outage, some of the lighting in the |
| house, as well as the refrigerator, microwave, water supply |
| system, and power outlets in the upstairs living room |
| (including telephone and internet), are connected to a |
| secondary electrical system that can be powered by a |
| generator. The connection to this system is located in the |
| shed. |
| Several trails already crisscross the property, including |
| one that runs along the banks of the Gatineau River. You |
| can go walking, snowshoeing or mountain biking. |
| The area is great for wildlife viewing and if you keep a |
| camera handy, you will often have the opportunity to |
| photograph beautiful specimens. |
| A pair of bald eagles often cruise above the house but will |
| require a good telephoto lens to capture them. |
| You'll also occasionally see red-headed woodpeckers, hawks, |
| blue jays, partridges, raccoons, hares, wild turkeys, deer |
| and, if you're lucky, a beautiful crested owl. |
| And to cool off on hot summer days, all you have to do is |
| jump into the pool. |
