HOUSE FOR 8 GUEST - Set along a natural lake in the Laurentians, Niven is a contemporary retreat where water, forest, mountains, and light come together in an atmosphere of simplicity and calm. for shared moments, the house strikes a balance between convivial living spaces and quieter corners to unwind. The compact yet thoughtfully designed primary bedroom features a king-size bed and ample clothing storage, while two smaller, identical bedrooms with double bunk beds bring the convivial spirit of a traditional chalet to the sleeping spaces. At the heart of the living area, a fireplace creates a natural gathering point for conversation and relaxed evenings by the fire. Outside, a veranda extends the living space into the landscape throughout the year, offering a sheltered place to enjoy the changing seasons. A barbecue and outdoor fire pit invite shared meals and evenings beneath the open sky. In summer, the lake becomes a natural extension of the house, inviting guests to paddle, canoe, swim, or simply sit by the water and watch the light change. In winter, nearby mountains, cross-country ski trails, and snow-covered forests invite days outdoors, before returning to the warmth of the house at dusk. Niven offers a welcoming setting for extended stays, family gatherings across generations, and time shared with friends, at the pace of nature.
