DOMAINE DES EAUX-VIVES
Where the history of the Laurentians meets the elegance of the Alps.

Domaine des Eaux-Vives is an exceptional heritage estate located in Saint-Adolphe-d'Howard, in the heart of the Laurentians. Inspired by the timeless elegance of grand Swiss alpine chalets, this fully renovated residence seamlessly blends history, architecture, and nature in an extraordinary setting.

Originally built around 1960 and thoughtfully expanded over the years, the cedar-clad home showcases a spectacular cathedral living room centered around an iconic Don-Bar suspended fireplace, while expansive, light-filled living spaces create an inviting atmosphere. Spanning three levels, the residence offers five bedrooms, three full bathrooms, two powder rooms, a private screening room, and generous entertaining areas. A self-contained 595 sq. ft. suite featuring a bedroom, office, and gas fireplace provides ideal accommodations for guests, a caretaker, or multigenerational living.

The estate extends across more than 18,446 m² (198,560 sq. ft.) on multiple parcels, including a separate road-front lot with future development potential and an additional parcel suitable for a complementary residence.

Bordering picturesque Lake Elvire, the property enjoys a natural sandy shoreline with direct water access. A private waterfall, mature forest, and panoramic mountain views create an exceptional setting defined by tranquility, privacy, and natural beauty.

Expansive terraces provide the perfect setting for outdoor living throughout the seasons, while heated floors in every bathroom and the main entrance add modern comfort without compromising the estate's authentic character. A spacious driveway accommodates up to ten vehicles.

Closely connected to the legacy of Elvire Crestaz, a pioneering figure who helped shape the Laurentians' tourism industry, this remarkable property represents a rare heritage where history, prestige, and refined living come together.

Less than two hours from Montréal, Domaine des Eaux-Vives offers an extraordinary opportunity to own a private estate of exceptional distinction, equally suited as a prestigious family residence, luxury retreat, or multigenerational compound.

Some properties are simply visited. Others are passed down through generations. Domaine des Eaux-Vives is one of those truly exceptional places whose story is only beginning its next chapter.
