You realise that outside of the anglosphere knowing multiple languages is pretty much normal… There are plenty of people who move to Quebec and learn the language.
I am sure if I actually moved to Quebec and had to use French daily it would be different, my problem has always been being able to retain the information with lack of use. I’ve taken a lot of French and did well enough, but I forget it all now except for how-to ask if I can go to the bathroom.
Well, at least you remember something pretty useful! 🤣
Honestly there are tons of English speakers in Quebec that don’t even make the effort to try and learn French, so as long as someone moves here with it as a priority we appreciate it a lot!
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.
I do wish I would have known how cheap it is to live in Quebec. Too bad about the French thing.

I’m aware. I’m terrible at french is all.
I was terrible at English at some point in my life, practice makes

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.
