Hundreds of properties change hands in Quebec every day, most of them without being able to know the end of details. It was before we were interested … Here is the last transaction that caught our attention.
As original as it is, a residence known in Estrie under the name of Château d’Hatley will have struggled to find takers, even at a price far from that hoped for at the start.

Located on 25 chemin Minton Hill, in the canton of Hatley, this property inspired by the Renaissance era has a total of 18 rooms, including four bedrooms, as many rooms and two shower rooms.
Nestled on the heights of a 23.8 acres plot (75,1912), with a breathtaking view of Lake Massawippi and the Village of North Hatley in a counter-angled, this home of three levels (including the basement) also offers a heated garage for two cars and 14 exterior parking spaces.

The sellers owners, a couple of engineers, bought this building without a building in 2007, from the hands of a family trust – the Halbach Family Trust – established in Tucson, in Arizona. The transaction ended at the time for the sum of $ 302,100.
It was thereafter that the development of this residence, with extraordinary shapes and dimensions, was started. City documents set its construction date at 2009.

After having lived there a little less than fifteen years, the couple presented the house on sale at the end of 2023. In December of that year, their price was set at $ 6.5 million, a “bargain”, according to his real estate broker in an interview in the newspapers of the time.
Finally, after almost two years and multiple drops in the price, the house finds a taker from a couple in the region for $ 3.75 million. It is no less than 40%, or $ 2.75 million less than the price he hoped to draw from this sale originally.
