    Description

    My name is Edith and my husband is Christian. We are living on a 3,5 acre (1,5 ha) property in a rural area, with a mountain surrounding, about 150 km south-east from Montréal. Our view on the Appalachian mountains is just fabulous.

    Our house is now for sale because it is too big and too much work for us (we are in the 80ies). We already bought a smaller house in Magog, about 30 min from here, but we would like to have a couple to stay here and care about our house and land during June and probably July also. Taking care of 2 houses is too much for us! NB: a car is essential here. No public transportation before Magog.

    Our small village (2000 inhabitants) is 10 km away and there are lots of nice trails around. The village has a basic grocery store, pharmacy, hardware store, a very nice french bakery, a restaurant and a small library. There is a farmer's market every Saturday morning and an active social life in the village with the Volunteer Center. There is a small municipal beach on lake Memphrémagog, 7 km away from our home but we also have a small pond for swimming. Lots of hiking trails and the view from Owl's Head mountain (700 m) is fabulous. Kayaks are available for rent to get down Missisquoi-north river in the village.
