PROPERTY DETAILS
The offering consists of a 9,216.8 square meter landmass zoned specifically for residential development. The terrain provides a versatile mix of flat building sites and gently sloping areas, allowing for creative architectural integration that maximizes the 360-degree views. With 419 meters of frontage along the lake, the property ensures a significant buffer of privacy from any neighboring activities. As a vacant lot, it serves as a true blank canvas, providing a visionary owner the rare legal right to develop a signature project in a highly sought-after waterfront corridor.
LAND AND WATER
Lake Echo Island is defined by its dramatic mountain backdrops and crystal-clear water views, typical of the high-end Laurentian landscape. The topography balances dense forest cover with open, accessible shorelines, offering a variety of natural vistas. The surrounding waters of Lake Écho are celebrated for their quality and stillness, providing a perfect environment for swimming, non-motorized watercraft, and quiet observation of the local flora and fauna. The site is positioned to capture optimal light throughout the day, ensuring vibrant sunrises and golden hour views across the lake.
ACCESS AND UTILITIES
Access to the property is maintained via short boat transit from the nearby local marina, ensuring a lifestyle that is both secluded and conveniently connected. While the island is currently in its natural state without installed sewage or power systems, the residential zoning supports the implementation of localized utility infrastructure. Its proximity to the town center of Saint-Hippolyte provides easy access to essential provisioning and services, while the drive to larger urban centers like Montreal remains brief and efficient through the regional highway network.
