Addendum
PEACE AND PRIVACY IN A HERITAGE SETTING
Take yourself away to Lac Hughes, a Gatineau paradise that's just a one-hour drive from Ottawa. Relax in a 150-year-old authentic heritage square-timber cottage nestled on the only private land on the lake.
Imagine... your only neighbours are ancient White Pines, Red Oaks and granite cliffs. When you close the gate, you leave behind all your cares in the world.
The cottage, which faces west, overlooks the beautiful mountain lake. You can hike around Lac Hughes at your leisure or walk the old logging trails that meander through the 160 acres of mature forest that surround the cottage. Or you may choose to simply recline in an Adirondack chair, lose yourself in a favourite book and enjoy the sunset on the deck and docks that lead to the water's edge.
Just a short walk down a trail from the Cottage and you come to another parcel of waterfront with a dock and canoe on Lac St Charles. This is also a part of your dream Lot. Lac St Charles is one of the most exclusive and pristine gated lakes in the Gatineau Hills. 2 miles long, 200 feet deep with lake trout. There is a 9.9HP motor limit so you will not encounter jet skis or speed boats. Just the odd fishing boat or kayaker. After a quiet day on the big lake you can hike back up to your private oasis on the mountain top spring fed lake to cook your fresh trout.

173 Chemin des Alpes, Denholm, Quebec
Inside, you will find a classic kitchen with granite counters. French doors lead you from the kitchen into a comfortable sunroom/dining room with views of Lac Hughes. A few steps more and you are in the large screened porch where you can barbecue your favourite grillables.
Downstairs you will also find a traditional bedroom and a bathroom with a shower. Upstairs are two more bedrooms with period furnishings. Both have cathedral ceilings and views of the lake through large dormer windows. There is a shared bath between the two bedrooms featuring a restored clawfoot tub.
Everywhere you go in the cottage, you are carried back to another time by antiques, hand-hewn logs, exposed wooden rafters and ceilings, and the patina of history. Lighting is provided by candles, propane lamps and portable reading lights. And because there is no electricity, cooking and refrigeration are done using propane appliances.
This is what to expect during your time at Lac Hughes... a heritage experience with a few modern comforts. We like to say at Lac Hughes, you go back to go forward. You step back to a place of tranquility to move forward in a more relaxed and peaceful state of mind.
