The Villa des Capucines, one of the many residences owned by the Desmarais family, is for sale for the tidy sum of $1,875,000.
Listed on the real estate market by Sotheby’s International Realty, the residence located at 640 boulevard des Falaises in La Malbaie has an area of 9,600 square feet and extends over two floors. It has eight bedrooms and eight bathrooms. The house has two living rooms, two dining rooms, a kitchen and a meal preparation room. An in-ground swimming pool and a tennis court for sports enthusiasts complete the 421,000 square foot lot.
A wing located at the rear of the residence is reserved for employees and maintenance areas. It would include a kitchen, living room, four bedrooms and two bathrooms.
“This Villa embodies a flourishing era when the region enjoyed international renown as a vacation destination,” reads the sale notice on the Sotheby’s website.
The rest of the land at the rear (i.e. 287,620 sq. ft.) represents almost 70% of the total area of the site and is entirely wooded. “There is potentially the possibility of construction in this portion of land and this portion would also benefit from a view of the river,” we mention in the notice.
The sale of the residence has gone a little under the radar, its asking price was revised downwards recently. This was initially for $1,950,000 when it was put on sale on September 2, 2023.
