About us
Domaine Le Sanctuaire des Lacs is situated
in one of the largest gated territories
in the Laurentians. Our territory includes
eight lakes distributed throughout1300
acres of land alongside 2500 supplementary
acres of common area that can be enjoyed
by all the members of the association.
It is located at the crossroads of Wentworth,
Morin-Heights, Mille-Iles, Gore and Brownsburg
and is approximately a one-hour drive
from Montreal. Nearby towns are Morin
Heights (15 min) Saint Sauveur (25 min),
Brownsburg (20min) and Lachute (25 min).
See maps of
our location.
The
largest lake in the territory is Lake
Lemieux whose waters originate primarily
from Lake Schumann’s overflow. The
marshes located between the two lakes
maintain a consistency of water qualities,
which in turn ensures a superior overall
quality of lake water.
Most of our lots are lakefront property
including on Lake Lemieux, which is a
haven for lake trout and a variety of
indigenous species found on the trout’s
food chain. Unlike many lakes in Quebec,
Lake Lemieux has never been over-fished
and its fish population continues to thrive.
The woods and wetlands, having almost
never been disturbed by human activity,
shelter an abundant population of native
species. All exploitation of the forests’
resources, as well as of the lakes, will
be undertaken in such a manner that will
guarantee the permanence of all natural
resources. Preservation guidelines allow
for the enjoyment of recreational fishing
which will be permitted and even encouraged
as long as there are no signs of environmental
distress. However, hunting is forbidden.
Homeowners
may lodge up to two horses per five acre
lot as per the actual municipal ruling.
More horses are permitted on larger lots
depending on the property size. In fact
homeowners are encouraged to set up their
homes and properties according their personal
needs and interests, however, conscientious
development of this land will continue
to help avoid endangering its ecosystem’s
fragile balance. Thus, all dwellings must
be situated no less than 75 feet from
the lake and must be fitted with septic
systems that respect all municipal and
provincial norms. The water supply is
created by private wells that the owners
dig. The average well is approximately
200' deep and gives approximately 200
gallons/hour.
For more information on guidelines that are in place to protect
the environment, please inquire- with our representatives. See our
contact page for details.
