Estrie | A Haven of Peace and Possibilities

Estrie captivates with its stunning landscapes, dynamic cities like Sherbrooke, and charming, authentic villages. A region with strong residential and tourism appeal, it offers a promising and accessible real estate market, shaped by a lifestyle rooted in nature, culture, and innovation.

Located near the U.S. border and less than two hours from Montreal, Estrie—also known as the Eastern Townships—strikes a rare balance between natural beauty and economic vitality. Surrounded by mountains, forests, vineyards, and clear lakes, it attracts outdoor enthusiasts as well as buyers seeking a peaceful and inspiring environment. Whether settling in Sherbrooke—a university town and innovation hub—or in sought-after communities like Magog, Sutton, Eastman, or Bromont, Estrie offers a wide variety of residential options.

The real estate market here is active, with growing demand for single-family homes, four-season cottages, and second residences. Estrie stands out for its still-affordable properties in many areas, even those near lakes or nestled in the mountains.
