5 Good Reasons to Invest in Tremblant

by Michel Naud

Looking to invest in a secondary home? Tremblant has everything you need to make the most of your free time while making a clever investment that your family will appreciate. Here are five good reasons to choose Mont-Tremblant as a place to invest, live and play.

1 - AN INCREDIBLE QUALITY OF LIFE

Escape the hustle of the city and reconnect with nature. Mont-Tremblant offers the perfect combination of outdoor activities, family atmosphere, cultural events and tranquility. Mont-Tremblant is the highest peak in the Laurentians and is very well located between the oldest national park of Quebec and 12-kilometer long Lake Tremblant.

In summer, it's a paradise of pure waters. Enjoy the numerous lakes, rivers, spas and swimming pools. On Lake Tremblant, you can ride a boat, a yacht or a pontoon. On Lake Mercier, swimming and paddleboarding are very popular. Since the arrival of Ironman competition in 2012, we've seen plenty of triathletes training in these open waters. If your thing is soft paddling while soaking in the sun, then you'll love canoeing or kayaking down the Rouge River or the Devil's River.

In winter, Tremblant is famous for its skiing domain, of course. It is also a great destination for cross-country skiing, alpine touring, snowshoeing, fat biking and ice skating. All these sports are well balanced by a wide offer of comforting après-ski activities : microbreweries, hot tubs, selected shops and quality restaurants.

2 - A DYNAMIC REAL ESTATE INDUSTRY

The main Mont-Tremblant real estate advantage is to be a #1 Vacation Resort attracting international travelers. This means that when you own a property close to the mountain, a golf or a lake, it is easy to generate rental revenues when you're away. Many local businesses have developed an expertise in rental management. You can choose the level of services you need, and make rental revenues without lifting a finger. Professional advices from real estate brokers, financing specialists and rental companies can guide you in the process. Based on the property features, you can get an estimate of its rental potential, while making sure it is located in a zoning where short term rentals are allowed.

3 - ALL THE SERVICES YOU NEED

Whether you are looking to move to the area or to spend your weekends with your family, you will find all the necessary services nearby. More than 1,200 businesses are located here and the city invests heavily in its economic development while protecting its natural setting. You can benefit from banks, schools, clinics, grocery stores, restaurants, training centers, bookstore and public transport. With the advantage of telework, Mont-Tremblant makes it possible to live away from the urban centers while finding all the amenities that make cities pleasant and lively.

4 - THE PROXIMITY OF AN INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

Visitors from Toronto and New York, among others, now have a quick and direct connection to Mont-Tremblant thanks to Mont-Tremblant International Airport in La Macaza. Weekly flights can accommodate regional and international visitors by several airlines that serve Mont-Tremblant, not to mention the many private aircrafts that the airport regularly welcomes.

5 - AN OPPORTUNITY FOR NON CANADIAN INVESTORS

In response to many clients wondering if foreign buyers are still allowed to buy a property in Mont-Tremblant, the answer is yes. The « foreign ban » recently put in place by the Canadian government applies to urban agglomerations in order to limit speculation and empty buildings. As a small tourtistic town, Mont-Tremblant is on the list of exceptions where non-Canadian buyers can still buy a property. The present text has no legal value and we recommend that all interested buyers seek professional advice before investing in the Canadian real estate market.
