Where exactly is Villa Océane located?

At 1560 Grande-Côte, Sainte-Geneviève-de-Berthier, on the north shore of the St. Lawrence, directly across from the marina, roughly 45 minutes from Montreal.

Is the property waterfront?

The home is not on the shoreline itself: it sits across Grande-Côte, facing the marina. That means the view and immediate water access, without the easements, regulatory constraints and costs that come with a waterfront lot.

What is ICF construction?

Insulated concrete form construction: insulating blocks filled with reinforced concrete. The result is an exceptionally quiet, solid, resilient and energy-efficient home.

Does the home have an elevator?

Yes, a private elevator serves both levels, making it an accessible and comfortable residence for every stage of life.

Can the property be viewed remotely?

Yes. We offer live guided virtual tours in English or French, along with a complete brochure on request.

Location of Villa Océane on Grande-Côte, between the St. Lawrence River and Berthierville

Investment

Measurable rarity, in a market that cannot be recreated

Contemporary prestige homes sitting directly across from a St. Lawrence marina, with river views, a golf course minutes away and Montreal under an hour, can be counted on one hand.

Scarcity of the position

Sites directly facing a St. Lawrence marina are finite and largely built out. This position delivers the view and the water access without the constraints of a waterfront lot.

Contemporary vs. heritage

Most prestige supply in this corridor is older stock. Recent ICF concrete construction with an elevator and high energy performance addresses demand the existing inventory cannot meet.

Marina premium

Immediate boating access, just across the street, is among the most valued attributes in this segment: it widens both the use of the home and its buyer pool.

Berthier golf: $20M invested, 27 holes by Huxham

Over $20M invested in the transformation of the Berthier golf course: an ambitious 27-hole project by Huxham Golf Design, a new clubhouse, modernised infrastructure (greens, tee boxes, irrigation, drainage, driving range) and a completely reimagined experience. A major private investment attracting a sought-after clientele and raising the profile of the destination.

The vision for the golf course

To make Berthier a genuine golf and lifestyle destination on the north shore of the St. Lawrence: a course of calibre, a high-end membership experience, a calendar of tournaments and corporate events, signature dining and an extended season through four-season facilities. The stated ambition is a prestige club less than an hour from Montreal, designed for both residents and second-home owners.

The effect on value

Historically, upgrading a course and creating a destination club lifts the prestige homes around it: scarce nearby supply, rising profile for the area and the arrival of buyers with greater purchasing power.

Be the first

Very few contemporary villas of this calibre exist around this new golf destination. Buying now means owning the finest property in the area before the market fully prices in the project.

Montreal proximity

45 minutes: the ideal distance for a second home actually used year-round — and for a remote-work primary residence.

Remote work migration

Hybrid work has durably shifted high-end demand toward regions offering nature, space and connectivity. Lanaudière is a direct beneficiary.

International buyers

The Canadian luxury market attracts North American and European buyers seeking water, space and stability — three attributes this property combines.

Replacement cost

Reproducing this build quality, these finishes and this elevator on a comparable site facing the marina today would involve considerable cost and delay.

Multiple uses

Primary residence, second home, luxury retirement, multigenerational house or entertaining asset: versatility protects value.

An asset in quality of life

Beyond the numbers, this property buys time: less commuting, more water, more light, more silence. It is the hardest form of investment to replicate.
