Buying a luxury home in Quebec, Canada
For sale · Sotheby’s International Realty Quebec
Villa Océane is a private luxury residence for sale in Quebec, 45 minutes from Montreal — a rare entry point for international buyers looking for space, water, golf and privacy.
Every year, American and European buyers look for a primary or second home in Canada: safety, nature, build quality and access to a truly international city. Villa Océane brings all of it together in one contemporary address, built in 2021 in ICF concrete and steel, facing a marina on the St. Lawrence River, less than an hour from Montreal and its international airport.
The property is sold as a private residence. It is not a hotel, a resort, a rental complex or tourist accommodation: it is a turnkey family home with a heated in-ground pool, pool house, elevator and triple garage.

Why international buyers look at Quebec
Quebec offers a value-to-lifestyle ratio that is increasingly rare in North America: large lots, access to water, four real seasons, strong healthcare and education, and a luxury market still accessible compared with New York, Miami, London or Geneva.
Montreal — bilingual and international — makes relocation straightforward for European and American families alike. Villa Océane keeps that proximity while offering a private, landscaped setting open to the river.
- Contemporary residence built in 2021 — nothing to renovate
- 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms (including the pool house bathroom)
- Triple garage of approximately 1,400 sq. ft., elevator, fireplace, outdoor screen
- Heated in-ground pool, water wall, pool house, pool bar, outdoor kitchen
Non-Canadian buyers: a location worth noting
Canadian federal rules restrict certain residential purchases by non-Canadians within census metropolitan areas and census agglomerations. Sainte-Geneviève-de-Berthier lies outside those boundaries, which can be a meaningful advantage for an international buyer.
This information is provided for general guidance only and is not legal advice. Eligibility depends on each buyer's personal situation and must be confirmed by a legal advisor or notary, based on the official Government of Canada rules in force at the time of the transaction.
