| When Dany and Catherine discovered this virgin forest lot |
| in 2021, they knew instantly it was home. Nestled on the |
| banks of the Petite Nation River, a mere 150 m from the |
| spectacular Chutes Lockbow, they built their dream: a 1,603 |
| sq ft (149 m²) modern sanctuary where summer seems to last |
| forever. |
|
| -1.50 acre (6,090.7 m²) lot with 243 ft (74 m) of direct |
| river frontage |
| -Rare neighbours, absolute privacy. |
| -2023 construction: radiant in-floor concrete, Passivhaus |
| certified triple-pane windows, 16 ft cathedral ceilings. |
| -2 bedrooms + office mezzanine, spa-like bathroom |
| (freestanding tub + glass rain shower). |
| -Open-concept Scandinavian-contemporary design with |
| boho-chic and mid-century touches. |
| -High-end kitchen (High End Appliances & Meticulously |
| Planned Kitchen. |
| -Potable artesian well water + brand-new septic (2023). |
| -Private dock, fire pit, forest hammocks. |
| -Future-ready for jacuzzi, sauna, detached garage, large |
| garden. |
|
| From the living room sofa, watch winter-solstice sunsets |
| line up perfectly over the frozen river (your own private |
| ice rink) and summer sunsets sink directly in front of the |
| dock. Late-afternoon light bounces off the water, bathing |
| the floors and walls in golden glow. Stargazing here is |
| world-class, the Milky Way feels close enough to touch. |
| Wildlife is part of daily life: deer at dawn, beavers at |
| dusk, bald eagles overhead, coyotes singing at night. The |
| house was designed for effortless joy and total well-being, |
| every corner invites relaxation. |
|
| Every detail was crafted for effortless joy. The kitchen, a |
| minimalist masterpiece, honours the classic work triangle |
| with high-end appliances and seamless flow, ideal for |
| casual mornings or hosting gatherings in the vast open |
| space. Guests rave about the huge windows framing the |
| river, the luxurious bathroom's freestanding tub and |
| separate rain shower, and decor that invites lingering: a |
| north-wall ledge showcasing art, textures blending raw wood |
| with soft linens. |
|
| Convenience tempers the wild: groceries, gas, clinic, and |
| pharmacy are minutes away in Chénéville. Savour gourmet |
| bites at Chez Seb or Miss Macaron, sip ciders at Les Pommes |
| Perdues micro-cidery, or tour Domaine Mont-Vézeau vineyard. |
| Hike or ski Montagnes-Noires trails, beach-hop at |
| Lac-Simon, or explore artisan markets showcasing local |
| farms like La Récolte (organic bounty) and natural wines |
| from Les Fragments. |
