The acquisition of the Domaine Charlevoix by its current landlord, Société de Développement Domaine Charlevoix, was made at the end of the year 2004. In an effort to assent to customer requests asking to take further advantage of the Domaine’s magnificent attributes, the landlord’s wish is to render a portion of the territory accessible for improvements such as a residential resort development that is integrated to its surroundings, all the while minimizing the exploitation of the Nature Park and preserving its environment.

Elaborated by a firm of professional town planners, the conceptual philosophy behind the development and planning of the territory is to adhere to a perspective of conservation, maintaining the tourism and recreational character of the Domaine Charlevoix and the exploitation of its Nature Park. Although the planning of private residential zones inside the Park will be privileged, the accessibility to these zones will be strictly controlled at a benefit exclusively reserved for its residents.

The territory’s geophysical characteristics and municipal regulations are the principle factors used to properly orient the planning of all access and circulation routes, the development of residential areas, as well as future zones planned for tourism and recreation and commercial infrastructures.

The residential areas under development are divided into two types of dwellings. The first zone under development, an area of approximately twenty-eight hectares (70 acres), will be subdivided into some eighty lots. Each lot will be a minimum of 3000 square meters (32 300 square feet) and reserved for building detached, villa lodge types of residential dwellings. The second zone, an area of approximately sixteen hectares (40 acres), will be subdivided into forty-two lots. Each of these lots will be also be a minimum of 3000 square meters (32 300 square feet), however these will be reserved for building condo-villa lodge types of residential dwellings containing islets of three condo-villa dwellings per lot.

Each residential lot is sold with essential services such as electricity and telephone lines disposed in a manner that protects the visual beauty of the environment. The domestic water supply for each property will be provided by an artesian well located on the property or in its proximity. In accordance with governmental regulations, every lot must also be provided with septic tanks and water purification areas.

The land’s configuration and angle of declination permits almost all dwellings to boast an impressive panoramic view of the St-Lawrence River and l’Isle-aux-Coudres. The dwelling layouts and openings on every lot face the South-Eastern and South-Western axes, thus welcoming warm sunshine inside each of the villas and condo-villas.
