Complementing this are three additional bedrooms sharing two bathrooms, alongside a family Tv room that could readily serve as another bedroom.

The residence includes three functional fireplaces, air conditioning in the family room and principal bedroom, and an oil central heating system.
The attic, once staff quarters, offers potential for further living space expansion.
The extensive basement boasts an air-conditioned wine cellar for optimal wine preservation, accompanied by an original lower-level wine cellar, workshop areas, and ample storage for gardening equipment and mowers.

The Grounds: Spanning 13 hectares (approx 32 acres) of former historic vineyards and storied cedar trees, the estate's outdoor spaces include a 6 x 17-meter infinity pool and a petite vineyard cultivating Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc grapes for enjoying the estate’s own harvest.

Enhancing the estate’s natural beauty are two tranquil ponds, one nourished by a natural spring, and a charming pigeonnier nestled amongst the gardens.
Sports enthusiasts can enjoy the championship-sized tennis court and a barn for hobbies, storage, or perhaps exploring new ventures. An open barn, located behind the tennis court, is ideal for outdoor entertainment and BBQs, providing a perfect spot to socialize or relax while watching tennis matches.
