Addendum
| https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrWwag4dXNg&feature=youtu.be Request the brochure for more information. 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 Stranks and revisited 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 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. |
