Lac Dupagne

Lac Dupagne can be found in the picturesque town of Saint-Adolphe. It is a private lake found near Morin-Heights which is a town in the Laurentian mountain’s region of Quebec. Municipally, it is west of Saint-Sauveur and north of Lachute; and it is within the regional county municipality of Les Pays-d’en-Haut. The lake is a 15-minute drive from Saint-Sauveur village, a 50-minute drive from Mont Tremblant and 90-minutes from Pierre Elliott Trudeau international airport. Lac Dupagne is near Montreal and also the #1 rated ski resort on the east coast of the country. The 127-acre resort is perfectly situated to enjoy top drawer Canadiana: outdoor living, fishing, ice fishing and rock-climbing. The property is a 100% private lake, and the acreage is 127 acres. The lake itself boasts 4,100 feet of lake frontage and runs to forty-five feet depths, offering the outdoors afficionado numerous opportunities for world class fishing.

The private lake is stocked with the red rainbow and brook trout, and it was originally bought by the creator of a successful sporting and apparel company in Canada. Lac Dupagne was the epitome of a Canadian outdoor dream property that crystallizes what the international impression of Canada is: faultlessly beautiful nature, active participation in nature and trees that produce succulent maple syrup for cookery. The owner was an avid angler so that is why he was stocking the lake, and his property boasted a prodigious and state-of-the-art sugar shack which was harvested into an artisanal quantity of 4000 cans of liquid gold per year. He then went on to sell the output to a select book of clients that would contribute enough revenue for him to fund his humanitarian projects: breakfast clubs for underprivileged children – so that they can have a health start to their day – and also non-profits that support women escaping conjugal violence and supporting them and their children to disyoke themselves from toxic relationships.

Herbie saw the value in propagating the output of the maple tree, so synonymous with Canada’s identity and so potential buyers were invited to a sugaring off event with traditional large Quebecoise breakfast. The varietal of the syrup and taffy could be sampled, similarly as to how Sonoma and Napa wineries do with their fine wines. Herbie hosted a fishing day for a select few potential clients to get a sample of how the dog days of summer could be spent while in their private boats on their solitary lake.

The brochures that were mailed to prospective buyers included a can of maple syrup from the cellar of the estate and the strategy worked well because the actual buyer saw the value in the heritage of the property and is continuing to sell maple syrup with the family brand as a utility to fundraising for nonprofits needing financial support.
