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.

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.
