Exceptional Cottage in the Heart of the Village of Vendée, with Direct Access to Lake Windigo

Located in the center of the village of Vendée, this cottage enjoys a prime location directly across from the municipal library, community center, and outdoor arena. This setting offers the advantage of snow-cleared parking during the winter months. The property is also conveniently close to an electric vehicle charging station and the village's community mailboxes. The local grocery store and hardware store are less than a one-minute walk away.

Within walking distance, you will also find several recreational facilities, including beach volleyball, baseball, and pétanque courts, municipal walking and snowshoeing trails through the forest, a picnic area, and children's playground equipment.

The cottage is approximately a 15-minute walk--or just a few minutes by car or ATV--from the Papineau-Labelle Wildlife Reserve. Its location is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts, offering beautiful gravel roads perfect for hiking and cycling around nearby lakes, including Cameron Lake and Lake Rond.

The property provides direct access to the stunning Lake Windigo, a navigable lake known for its peaceful atmosphere. Even during the busiest summer days, the tranquility of the lake is preserved. The private beach, facing west, allows you to enjoy sunshine until nearly 9:00 p.m. in summer. Measuring approximately 2.5 km by 2.5 km, the lake is ideal for swimming and fishing. In addition, the Maskinongé River, which flows through the lake, offers direct access by rowboat, small motorboat, or kayak to several other lakes.

Habitable year-round, the cottage offers quick access to a wide range of four-season activities: the alpine ski resorts of Mont-Tremblant and Mont-Blanc (approximately 40 minutes away), the cross-country ski and cycling trails of the P'tit Train du Nord linear park (20 to 30 minutes), as well as Parc Oméga and several provincial parks near Montebello (about 40 minutes). The property is also located approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes from both Montreal and Ottawa.

Finally, the rare combination of a central village location, a large wooded lot of over 6,000 m², and a private shoreline of 50 meters along the lake makes this cottage a true haven of peace. Easily accessible year-round, it offers remarkable privacy and allows you to fully enjoy nature without any direct neighbors in sight.
