Artistically and thoughtfully constructed and sitting just beyond a distinguished apple tree dominating the front lawn; 171 diverse acres-meadows, fields, woods, spring-fed pond, wildlife, and mountain vistas visible throughout the house and property.

Generous bedrooms and additional bedrooms and a sauna populate the guest house; the master suite: an aerie accessible by stairway or elevator. Relax in the roomy pub, warm by a fire, and enjoy the game area, or step outside to the bocce court, in-ground pool, or fireplace. Follow an idyllic path to a large barn w/office, stall areas, work, & storage areas; continue up the road to a woodland chapel and then up to a picnic pavilion & open space for family games & gatherings. 45 min. to downhill skiing, 5 min. to the Outdoor Ctr. for Xcountry skiing, world-class sculling, biking, and hiking. Convenient to Montreal's airport, museums, and dining.
