Character Ancestral Country Home – Notre-Dame-de-Stanbridge (Gateway to the Wine Route)
Located at 565 Rang de l’Ange-Gardien in Notre-Dame-de-Stanbridge, this ancestral home is set in a peaceful agricultural environment, offering tranquility, privacy, and a sought-after quality of life in the heart of Brome-Missisquoi.
Originally built piece-on-piece (log construction), it was carefully dismantled, reassembled, and expanded on a concrete foundation in the late 1970s, preserving its authentic character. The interior exudes warmth and charm, highlighted by beautiful handcrafted woodwork, stunning flooring, and generous living spaces designed for entertaining.
The main floor features a simple and functional kitchen with an inviting living area, a bathroom with a clawfoot tub and laundry space, and a screened veranda ideal for enjoying nearly every season. The spacious living and dining areas, combined in a bright open room, are centered around a Vermont Castings wood stove—the true heart of the home.
Upstairs, an open space used as a library or boudoir leads to two bedrooms, including a primary bedroom with an ensuite bathroom and separate shower. Storage is abundant and thoughtfully integrated throughout.
The approximately 1.5-acre lot, beautifully landscaped over the years, is bordered by farmland and a wooded area at the rear, creating a true private haven. A detached heated garage with water and electricity includes an artist’s studio, an office, and an upper level dedicated to storage.
Located about 50 minutes from the Champlain Bridge, 7 minutes from Bedford, and 20 minutes from Cowansville, this property offers the perfect balance between rural serenity and accessibility to services. Close to Mystic, Dunham, and Frelighsburg, it is just steps away from vineyards, local producers, farm-to-table dining, and the region’s cultural attractions.
A home full of character, ideal as a primary residence, country retreat, or a peaceful setting for remote work in an inspiring and sustainable environment.
