THE FAMILY & THE LAKES

Our Story

Luc Belisle and his family were introduced to Edelweiss in 1989 when he purchased his first home in the area. Living in nature became his daily escape and gave him the strength to continue a challenging career. He found this was a fantastic community to raise a family in and was fortunate to do so with his two daughters (pictured with him here, on their horses in Edelweiss). His family's experience is what he longs to share with like-minded folks through the community of Edelweiss Lakes.

Edelweiss Lakes consists of 450 residential acres, surrounded by approximately 750 acres of crown land. This allows for over 1000 acres of access to trails and a multitude of lakes. Edelweiss is known for its popular ski hill, golf course and proximity to Wakefield. This has made for creating the perfect setting for folks to enjoy the tranquility of nature while remaining close to a city centre. A cottage and a home in one location. 

WELCOME TO

A UNIQUE RESIDENTIAL LIFESTYLE

Our Vision

Welcome to Edelweiss Lakes, an exceptional new community being built in the picturesque Gatineau Hills of southwestern Quebec and offering a truly unique lifestyle experience in exurban residential living—the combination of a cottage and a residential home in one package.

Our Mission

At Edelweiss Lakes, we are committed to something quite out of the ordinary:

  • to encourage top quality ecologically-minded homes that are attractive, energy efficient, and exquisitely livable

  • to build them in a nature setting that respects the surrounding habitat and promotes a healthy, active lifestyle

  • to offer homebuyers the perfect combination of value, affordability, privacy and liveability in one outstanding package

  • to offer homebuyers a way to reduce their carbon footprint through the option of combining two properties into one dual-purpose home - a cottage and a home. 

Putting it into Practice

What this all means in practice is a modern high efficiency home nestled in a forest but only thirty minutes drive to one of Canada's most vibrant metropolitan areas—downtown Ottawa-Gatineau.

There is access to an extensive network of trails and lakes for all-season enjoyment whatever your leisure activity of choice.
Newly-built major roadways quickly connect you to charming towns in the area, to a variety of leisure and recreational facilities, and of course to the big city.
By combining the attributes of a cottage and a suburban home in one property, you can enjoy all the tranquility that comes from living in nature with the urban amenities that are yours by being located near a metropolis. And you can simplify your life.
