Farmhouse according to the city: "A farmhouse is a use complementary to the home where various farm animals are kept and/or raised in limited quantities for recreation, use, and/or personal consumption, and not as a lucrative activity or for production or reproduction. Farmhouse equipment includes the buildings where the animals are kept, the storage area for animal waste, the pens, the area reserved for grazing, the training area, or the exercise yards."

Nestled on a vast lot of over 200,000 sq. ft., this ancestral fieldstone house, built at the very end of the French regime, is a true testament to time. It stands proudly, facing northwest, where the gaze
is taken in by a spectacular panorama of the St. Lawrence River and a vast, shifting sky, captivating from morning to dusk. Here, each season is on display, each moment becomes a tableau.

The nobility of stone, the warmth of wood, the fluidity of light: this property meaningfully and emotionally blends past and present. The contemporary extension, with its transparent west and northwest windows, is part of an architectural approach deeply respectful of heritage without parodying the old. Rather than combining "old with new," the architect created "new with old," aligning with the timeline through which this ancestral home has evolved.

Inside, authenticity reigns. The pine log perimeter walls reveal the craftsmanship of yesteryear and create an enveloping atmosphere. Several original features remain, affirming the unique character of the residence: the coffered board partitions, the coffered or batten ceilings, the paneled assembly doors, the molded beams, not to mention the period floors, patinated and carefully varnished. These old-world details, preserved with rare fidelity, create a cozy and refined atmosphere, conducive to contemplation, creativity, or relaxation.

The courtyard, framed by exceptional old farm buildings and generously planted with trees, is a haven of peace. It features majestic deciduous trees, fragrant lilacs, and soft, spontaneous vegetation, accentuating the feeling of intimacy and connection with nature. The gently rolling terrain offers a multitude of possibilities. Furthermore, the site has potential for subdivision, offering the possibility of building a second home.

This is a property that appeals to lovers of architecture and heritage, those seeking not just a home, but an exceptional place, a soul, a refuge. Perfect as an inspiring primary residence or a peaceful second home, this home is for those for whom the art of living takes on its full meaning when rooted in beauty, history, and the horizon.
