A rare opportunity to own a beautifully restored 1930s farmhouse in one of Québec's most desirable vacation destinations, where short-term rentals are permitted and authentic country properties remain exceptionally scarce.
Set on two private acres in the heart of Frelighsburg—consistently ranked among Québec's most beautiful villages—this turnkey 3-bedroom, 2-bath farmhouse offers the rare combination of timeless character, modern comfort, and outstanding income potential. Surrounded by vineyards, orchards, cideries, mountain scenery, and some of the province's most celebrated country roads, it is ideally positioned to appeal to visitors in every season.
Inside, whitewashed beams, wide-plank hardwood floors, a magnificent stone fireplace, and a wood-burning stove create the authentic Eastern Townships experience today's travellers actively seek. The spacious country kitchen, centred around an impressive island, naturally brings people together, while every room reflects the warmth and charm that make heritage homes unforgettable.
Outside, a screened veranda overlooks mature gardens, towering trees, and a charming picket-fenced inground pool, creating a private retreat designed for long summer afternoons, evening dinners outdoors, and peaceful weekends away from the city. Whether guests arrive for wine tastings, fall colours, ski weekends, or simply to disconnect, the property offers the kind of setting that inspires repeat visits.
Located just minutes from Frelighsburg's cafés, boutiques, farmers' markets, vineyards, and acclaimed cider houses, the home also enjoys immediate access to Sutton's renowned skiing, mountain biking, hiking, and outdoor adventures. Vermont is only 6 km away, while Montréal is approximately 80 minutes away, making weekend escapes effortless for both Québec and international visitors.
Whether you're searching for a distinctive primary residence, an exceptional country retreat, or a vacation property capable of generating attractive short-term rental income, 312 Richford represents a rare investment opportunity. Character homes of this calibre, in a destination of this reputation, with permitted short-term rental use, seldom become available.
Consistently ranked among Québec's most beautiful villages, Frelighsburg has quietly become one of the province's premier destinations for wine tourism, gourmet escapes, cycling, and four-season outdoor recreation. It's the kind of place people discover on a weekend—and return to year after year.
Surrounded by rolling hills, vineyards, orchards, cideries, and scenic country roads, the village offers an authentic Eastern Townships experience that feels increasingly rare. Visitors come to slow down, reconnect with nature, explore local producers, and enjoy a pace of life that simply can't be found in the city.
The culinary scene is exceptional. Just minutes from 312 Richford are some of Québec's most celebrated wineries and cideries, including Maison Agricole Joy Hill, Clos Saragnat, Domaine Pinnacle, and one of the region's true hidden gems, Domaine Héritage, renowned for its exceptional ciders. Just beyond, the neighbouring village of Dunham offers an extraordinary concentration of award-winning vineyards, making this one of Canada's premier wine regions and a destination that attracts visitors throughout the year.
The appeal extends well beyond summer. Spring blossoms transform the orchards, cycling season draws enthusiasts from across Québec and New England, autumn blankets the countryside in spectacular colours during harvest season, while winter brings skiers, snowshoers, and mountain bikers to nearby Sutton, one of Québec's most beloved four-season resorts.
Perhaps one of Frelighsburg's greatest luxuries is its accessibility. Reaching the property from Montréal and the South Shore is remarkably easy - 60-80 minutes. Shortly after crossing the Samuel De Champlain Bridge, the urban landscape gives way to open farmland and panoramic countryside. Unlike the often-congested routes heading north to the Laurentians, the journey itself becomes part of the escape, with increasingly beautiful scenery almost every kilometre of the way.
For buyers considering a vacation rental, few locations combine authentic village charm, an established tourism economy, year-round attractions, and exceptional accessibility quite like Frelighsburg. Combined with the property's beautifully restored farmhouse character, private setting, swimming pool, and the fact that short-term rentals are permitted, 312 Richford offers an increasingly rare opportunity to own a property that is as rewarding to enjoy personally as it is to share with guests.
