Every day in Quebec, hundreds of properties change hands, most of which we don't know in detail. This was before we became interested… Here's the latest transaction that caught our attention.
A Laurentian Mountains property owned by Fiera Capital founder and executive president Jean-Guy Desjardins just found a buyer for $5.65 million.

The two-story residence, located at 872 chemin des Skieurs, includes 10 rooms, including five bedrooms, three bathrooms, heated floors and a two-car garage that can easily accommodate two cars.
The residence, built in 2012, sits high on a sloping 148,000-foot site.2or 3.4 acres with stunning views of the popular Lac Tremblant lake. This house overlooks the Mont Tremblant National Park and features a veranda and large terrace with spa.
A dominant figure in Quebec finance, Jean-Guy Desjardins left his post as CEO of Fiera Capital last May at the age of 79. The announcement comes less than a year after the Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec entrusted his company with the management of a $600 million jackpot.

The career financier purchased the property in December 2013 from a Longueuil holding company owned by several doctors specializing in dental health. The amount paid at that time was $2.9 million.
A dozen years later, last May, the same property was put on the market again, this time for $5,995,000. This was almost double the price paid to acquire it just over ten years ago.
The latest three-year municipal assessment gave the property a value of $3,757,400, a 23% increase over its previous assessment of $3,045,600.

Finally, the residence quickly found a buyer for $5.65 million, or $345,000, or 5.75% less than the price announced in the spring.
According to the purchase agreement, signed before a notary on October 1, the buyers also paid a property transfer tax of $157,653 payable to the municipality of Mont-Tremblant.
For 2025, municipal taxes were $22,429.
