Duplex for sale - Sainte-Anne-des-Lacs

$1,399,900  

Welcome to L'Étoile de Sainte-Anne-des-Lacs, a rare opportunity to own a remarkable piece of Laurentian history.

Designed in 1960 by architect Luc Durand, this architectural landmark once welcomed visitors to the Sainte-Anne-des-Lacs ski resort. Now a residence, it remains a striking example of the bold design of its era.

Its iconic star-shaped silhouette features dramatic triangular cantilevered wings that appear suspended above the landscape. This engineering achievement combines reinforced concrete, steel beams and spruce structural elements anchored into the bedrock.

**SPECTACULAR ARCHITECTURE, A LEGACY TO PRESERVE**

In 2013, the owners devoted over a year to transforming the main level, incorporating noble, durable and reclaimed materials while respecting the property's heritage and natural surroundings.

Inside, soaring ceilings reaching nearly 25 feet and expansive windows create impressive volumes and stunning forest views.

The open living areas include a kitchen with walk-in pantry, dining room, living room and several bright office spaces. Oak and cherry flooring, along with artistic reclaimed-wood walls, give the interiors a distinctive character.

Three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a laundry room and two wood-burning fireplaces complete this level.

**VERSATILE SPACES, ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES**

Following the ski resort's closure, the building was converted into four apartments: two upstairs and two on the garden level.

The garden level still features an apartment with a private entrance, two bedrooms, a bathroom, wood-burning fireplace and private terrace.

The second garden-level unit, partially converted into a garage, retains two bedrooms, a bathroom and kitchen facilities, offering flexibility subject to permitted uses.

**AN EXCEPTIONAL NATURAL SETTING**

Nestled at the end of a quiet dead-end road, L'Étoile enjoys a private wooded setting where architecture and nature blend beautifully.

Imagine a spa, wellness retreat, community centre or conversion back into four residential units. An exceptional setting for an inspiring vision!

Current zoning permits single-family and two-family residential use. Any alternative use or project requires municipal verification and applicable approvals.

More than a property, L'Étoile offers a unique opportunity to reimagine an iconic landmark of Laurentian heritage.

*The property may also be purchased with four additional adjacent lots.

**Several images have been retouched, enhanced, or virtually staged to showcase the property and illustrate its full potential.
