Bungalow for sale - La Pêche

$899,900  

Nestled in one of Wakefield's most desirable neighbourhoods, this beautifully maintained 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom bungalow offers the rare combination of modern comfort, exceptional privacy, and year-round access to some of the finest outdoor recreation in the region.
Built in 2010 and backing onto a magnificent forested cliff that ensures lasting privacy and uninterrupted natural beauty, this is a home where you can truly disconnect without sacrificing convenience. Inside, the bright open-concept layout is highlighted by vaulted ceilings, stunning exposed wood beams, radiant floors throughout, and a striking modern wood stove that serves as both a source of comfort and a beautiful focal point.
The spacious kitchen is designed for gathering, featuring stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, a large island, and a unique built-in tropical aquarium that immediately captures attention. The dining room doors open to a great deck with a covered gazebo, creating the perfect setting for entertaining, relaxing in the sun or shade, and enjoying the peaceful surroundings.
Outside, the property unfolds into a private oasis. A productive raised-bed vegetable garden, established orchard with apple, pear, and cherry trees, more than 50 maple trees ready for tapping, perennial gardens that bloom from spring through fall, a charming pond with fountain, a four-person hot tub and a fire pit create a lifestyle that is increasingly difficult to find. Wildlife is a regular part of daily life, with deer, wild turkeys, hummingbirds, and songbirds providing a constantly changing natural backdrop.
The second main-floor bedroom offers its own private deck, making it ideal for guests or a home office.
An exceptionally large garage provides space for 3-4 vehicles while still accommodating a workshop or hobby area.
Thoughtful updates such as a new air exchanger system, new hot water tank, Tesla charger, renovated main-floor laundry and pantry, and regularly inspected septic system offer peace of mind for years to come.
The location is extraordinary. Step outside your back door to access a network of private trails, snowshoe through fresh powder in winter, or head just minutes away to Gatineau Park, Edelweiss, Vorlage, and countless hiking, biking, skiing, and outdoor adventure opportunities. Enjoy strolls to Wakefield's iconic covered bridge, browse local boutiques, savour an ice cream on a summer afternoon, dine at renowned establishments such as the Wakefield Mill or Le Hibou, and finish the evening with live music at the world-famous Black Sheep Inn.
Only 20 minutes from Gatineau via highway 5, this remarkable property offers the perfect balance of rural tranquility and urban accessibility. Whether you're looking for a family home, an entertainer's dream, or simply a place where life slows down and nature takes centre stage, 7 Chemin Ernest delivers a lifestyle that is every bit as exceptional as the home itself.
