LAKEFRONT FARMETTE ON 11+ ACRES IN THE LOWER LAURENTIANS
Peaceful, quiet and sunny property located on the north side of beautiful Lake Ivan in Mille Isles; only an hours drive from downtown Montreal, with 11+ acres (487,670 square feet) of south facing flat land with 448 feet frontage on Tamaracouta Road (paved) and 403 feet frontage on the lake. Lake Ivan is set far back from the road and is a lovely, rustic, clean lake with very few houses. There is no blue-green algae in any lake in Mille Isles. It is the next lake over from Lake Tamaracouta - home of the Boy Scout Camp.
The house is a 4 season winterized cottage consisting of 1 1/2 storeys. There are 4 bedrooms (2 on the main floor and 2 upstairs) and 2 full bathrooms ( one up - one down). The combination Living/Dining room has a working brick fireplace and large windows. The sunny kitchen is pine - painted white - with lots of counter space and storage. The basement is under 6 feet with lots of storage, a workshop, a laundry room and a separate room for the oil tanks. The furnace is dual energy - oil and electricity and has two oil tanks so you only need one delivery a year. The house is very easy to heat and the fireplace adds to the coziness. There is no need to ever buy firewood as it is available on the large property. The house has been inspected and approved for thousands of dollars of grants from the Federal Government and Hydro Quebec to upgrade windows, doors, insulation, etc. to conserve energy. A new water heater was installed in 2004. There is a 2nd phone line for the Internet connection (not high speed yet), a fax line and a satellite dish for Bell ExpressVu service (great reception). There is a huge vegetable garden - with yards of top soil - that attracts every creature in the forest. Has great tasting water from the 200' well and 2 more surface wells. A new pump was bought and installed in 2004. There are hiking paths/cross-country ski trails across the road that run through a huge undeveloped forest to St. Sauveur. The convenient mail delivery and pick-up is at the end of the driveway. The property is on a school bus road so it is always cleared and sanded in the winter and the cost for clearing the long driveway is $400. The annual municipal and school taxes are $1,500.00. The zonage for Tamaracouta Road is commercial/residential and because the property is over 10 acres - it is classified as a farm; therefore - no restrictions to the number of buildings and animals you may desire. This piece of land used to be a farm and still has the original stone fences. There are very few truly lakefront properties with so much acreage left in this area so this property is a rarity. It truly is a relaxing refuge for your family and pets.
Mille Isles is a lovely small town - so close to St-Sauveur yet a world away; there is a General store, churches, a firehall and a community centre.
The extras that are included in the sale are the washer and dryer, antique pine armoire in the kitchen, blinds and curtain rods, wood stove ( not connected ) and a cord of firewood, gardening items, recycling container, some furniture, carpets, tools, etc. The center of St. Sauveur with its' ski hills, stores, restaurants, banks and nightlife is an easy 10 minute drive away; Morin Heights is 12 minutes, St. Jerome (the Autoroute) is 22 minutes, Lachute (Autoroute 50) is 25 minutes. |
