82.5 acres. One exceptional estate, bordering the United States.

Perched atop Covey Hill, less than an hour from Montreal, this remarkable estate brings together a residence renovated over the years, agricultural land, an operating sugar bush, and facilities housing an active agri-food processing business.

Stretching from Covey Hill Road to the U.S. border, which forms its southern boundary, the 33.40 hectares unfold across plateaus and gentle slopes, offering sweeping views of the valley. Cultivable fields and mature woodlands create a vibrant natural landscape where white-tailed deer and wild turkeys have been observed.

The residence embraces its history with timeless charm. Pine floors, skylights, and expansive windows create warm, inviting living spaces that connect seamlessly with the changing seasons. The kitchen opens onto the dining room, while the generously windowed family room features a wood-burning fireplace. One bedroom is located on the main floor, with four additional bedrooms upstairs. The basement includes a sauna and a cold storage room. A veranda, an in-ground swimming pool, and a paved driveway further enhance the enjoyment of this exceptional setting.

The sugar bush, with approximately 2,500 maple taps, adds a productive dimension to the estate without requiring the owner to manage its operations. A local maple syrup producer maintains and operates the sugar bush under a ten-year lease, providing rental income. The maple production quota is represented as being attached to the land and transferring with the property. Potential expansion could also be explored.

Three separate outbuildings complement the residence. The first, a two-storey building, houses an active agri-food processing business. The second features an insulated storage area and a large refrigerated room dedicated to production. The third provides storage for pool accessories and outdoor equipment.

Owned by a separate corporation, the operating business may be acquired alongside the real estate at an additional, separately negotiated price. Further information is available upon request, subject to the signing of a confidentiality agreement.

Whether envisioned as a private country estate, an agricultural venture, or a property combining residential living with business operations, this exceptional domain offers a solid foundation for a distinctive personal or entrepreneurial project, subject to applicable approvals and regulations.
