  • Description

    Description

    We resettled in beautiful eastern townships in 2022. We are a family with two children (15 and 20), one very kind and hypoallergenic dog, and 10 chickens. We like to garden, farm, read, play the piano, and cook. We love the area, the people, the food, and culture. It’s a very beautiful place with forested covered hills, wineries, ski, lakes and rivers - situated 1.15 h from Montréal. We have bikes at your disposal (they are a bit rusty, you will need to tune them a little!)
