Saint-Jérôme, Mirabel, Mont-Tremblant — the Laurentides offer a unique real estate landscape between permanent residences and seasonal cottages. Mountainous terrain, septic systems, wells, radon — we know the region's challenges.
The Laurentides extend across the Canadian Shield, North America's oldest bedrock. The mountainous terrain is composed of granite and gneiss rock covered by sandy and gravelly glacial deposits. Soils are generally thin, well-drained on the surface but often rocky at depth. This territory hosts a fascinating mix of permanent residences in towns like Saint-Jérôme and Mirabel, and seasonal or four-season cottages in resort areas around Mont-Tremblant and Sainte-Adèle.
