Val-des-Sources is 10 minutes away and has all services that are missing from Wotton itself except for an hospital which is 40 minutes away in Sherbrooke but there are CLSCs closer than that.
Sure, I’m myself planning on being in a place like that, in Quebec, eventually. Just saying that’s the reason it’s cheap, not because it’s Quebec. I’m sure you can get similar prices in bum-fuck nowhere in whales or the Highlands or something.
I live in British Columbia, that property would pull in probably $800,000 here. Even when I was in Alberta pre COVID that would have gotten probably $500,000.
I am unsure how much land is coming with the house, but if it is acreage/hobby farm size it’d fetch a bit more probably, but it it is just a house that is part of some unincorporated area it’d be a bit less but the difference is significant going from western Canada to anything east of Alberta that isn’t Ontario.
That house is really far away from anything, don’t trust your instincts about distance when looking at the map that country is massive.

That’s a feature.

As in, in similarly remote areas? If that’s the case then I’ll count myself lucky that it’s Québec I’ll likely move to next.

1 acre, close to a town and a village, 40 minutes away from a city of 200k+ citizens.
That sounds like heaven except for the needing a car side of that.
It looks like those criteria would make it too close to Vancouver to be less than 2 million for a 3 bed.
Vancouver = Montreal
Kelowna = Sherbrooke
Merritt = Val-des-Sources
So it’s like living in a village somewhere between Merritt and Vancouver but very close to Merritt
