Sought-after luxury real estate in Mont-Tremblant
Located an hour and a half from Montreal and less than two hours from Gatineau, the Mont-Tremblant region is one of the leading luxury real estate markets in Quebec. The region has plenty of attractions. Real estate development in recent decades has helped create a true downtown where fine restaurants, shops and convenience services have thrived as demand grows. The luxury property market in this renowned resort town is sought-after by those who enjoy relaxing, spending time in nature or exercising.
Lake view or mountain view?
The Mont-Tremblant ski resort is a major feature, with its 665-acre ski area and 96 runs on 4 slopes. The region’s most affluent properties are located right on the slopes. In the heart of Mont-Tremblant, buyers will find a vast selection of luxury condos and townhouses of approximately 3,000 square feet, ranging in price from $800,000 to $2,000,000. A multitude of new real estate developments are booming and are awaiting new owners.
A two-storey luxury single-family home five minutes from the slopes will cost between $750,000 and $4,000,000 and a lakefront property between $1,000,000 and $6,000,000.
Naturally, a panoramic view of the mountain or Lake Tremblant in the heart of the action is a luxury feature that comes at a higher price in Mont-Tremblant, along with high-quality windows, proximity to activities and services, architecture and amenities such as a pool, hot tub or fitness centre.
International appeal
The Mont-Tremblant region doesn’t just attract Quebecois homeowners. Its clientele is primarily made up of buyers from Europe, the United States and, closer to home, Ontario. The Mont-Tremblant International Airport is definitely an asset – you can book a round trip 1-hour flight from downtown Toronto to Mont-Tremblant for around $300. There are weekly connections from New York, Chicago or Boston, with up to 13 connections per week during peak ski season and the summer.
The recent acquisition of Intrawest, former owner of the ski resort, by Aspen Skiing and KSL Capital Partners is expected to increase infrastructure investments and strengthen the region’s attraction capital.
Mont-Tremblant definitely has a jet-set factor. Many American television stars escape to the region to relax away from the paparazzi. Many Quebec athletes have also settled there to take advantage of the high-calibre sports facilities.
Roaming the mountain
Mont-Tremblant National Park is considered the largest park in the SEPAQ network. Although the region is famous for its skiing and winter sports slopes, it has become popular among tourists in the summer season, over the last few years. Its glamping facilities (the new camping fad that adds a touch of luxury and comfort), its Via Ferrata (a trail that combines hiking and rock climbing), its zip lines and its famous Iron Man triathlon are just a few of the outdoor activities offered. Cycling enthusiasts will also enjoy the countless bike paths, such as the P’tit Train du Nord Linear Park that connects Laval to Saint-Jérôme, then climbs through the Laurentians to Mont-Laurier across a distance of about 230 kilometres. The region is also famous for its excellent golf courses that attract visitors from all around to come and enjoy the beautiful surroundings and the great outdoors. Rain or shine, there is an activity for everyone 5 to 10 minutes away from home.
Mont-Tremblant’s huge recreational area is the perfect escape for active, adventurous and outdoor-loving people who don’t want to compromise on comfort and luxury.
