| Some properties are visited. This one is experienced, |
| season after season. |
| Backing directly onto Gatineau Park and nestled on an |
| oversized 2.5-acre lot offering complete privacy, 1216 |
| chemin de la Montagne is far more than a home -- it is |
| privileged access to one of Canada's largest urban parks, |
| located just 600 metres from the Gatineau Parkway. |
| For outdoor enthusiasts and four-season sports lovers, the |
| location is simply unmatched. Cross-country skiing, |
| snowshoeing, mountain biking, hiking, golf -- the park's |
| trails become a natural extension of your property. You no |
| longer leave home to enjoy the outdoors; you simply step |
| out your back door. |
| The architecture, designed by Wheeler, stands in a class of |
| its own. Timeless in spirit yet entirely modernized in its |
| expression, the home was conceived so that the interior and |
| the surrounding forest become one. The volumes, materials, |
| and expansive windows were all carefully orchestrated to |
| capture the ever-changing light of the seasons while |
| offering breathtaking views and unforgettable sunsets. |
| Quite simply, there is no other architecture like this in |
| the Outaouais. |
| The location itself is a rare privilege -- absolute |
| tranquility while remaining less than 10 minutes from all |
| city amenities and only 15 minutes from downtown Ottawa. |
| An opportunity like this rarely comes along twice. |
| Built in the 1950s on a 108,000 sq. ft. lot, this |
| single-storey residence has been fully expanded and |
| renovated while preserving its defining modernist spirit. |
| Nestled in the Gatineau hills, this modern home in the |
| forest offers a life in harmony with nature. At the end of |
| the property, a trail leading directly into Gatineau Park |
| is within easy reach. |
| Originally designed by architect William Stranks, the |
| residence draws inspiration from the organic architecture |
| championed by Frank Lloyd Wright. It spans a poured |
| concrete slab with an in-floor radiant heating system, and |
| sits harmoniously on its irregular lot. The stone cladding |
| was sourced directly from the site. The renovation, |
| entrusted to Charles Wheeler of Wheeler Associates |
| Residential Design and carried out by Habitations |
| Mapleridge, added a tower housing the primary suite, |
| enhancing the overall structure while respecting the |
| original aesthetic. The exterior cladding is composed of |
| natural materials: stone, concrete, and pine boards. The |
| red wood-clad tower stands out elegantly against the pale |
| grey main volume. |
| Bright Living Spaces Open to Nature: |
| The remarkable fenestration, designed to maximize natural |
| light, creates a seamless connection between indoors and |
| out. Varying ceiling heights are accentuated by rows of |
| ribbon windows. Over 50 recessed LED lights complement the |
| natural lighting. The energy-efficient windows frame |
| beautiful views of the forest and the park. Sightings of |
| wild turkeys and deer are a common occurrence. |
