You realise that outside of the anglosphere knowing multiple languages is pretty much normal... There are plenty of people who move to Quebec and learn the language.
I am sure if I actually moved to Quebec and had to use French daily it would be different, my problem has always been being able to retain the information with lack of use. I've taken a lot of French and did well enough, but I forget it all now except for how-to ask if I can go to the bathroom.
Well, at least you remember something pretty useful! 🤣
Honestly there are tons of English speakers in Quebec that don't even make the effort to try and learn French, so as long as someone moves here with it as a priority we appreciate it a lot!
Val-des-Sources is 10 minutes away and has all services that are missing from Wotton itself except for an hospital which is 40 minutes away in Sherbrooke but there are CLSCs closer than that.
Sure, I'm myself planning on being in a place like that, in Quebec, eventually. Just saying that's the reason it's cheap, not because it's Quebec. I'm sure you can get similar prices in bum-fuck nowhere in whales or the Highlands or something.
I live in British Columbia, that property would pull in probably $800,000 here. Even when I was in Alberta pre COVID that would have gotten probably $500,000.
I am unsure how much land is coming with the house, but if it is acreage/hobby farm size it'd fetch a bit more probably, but it it is just a house that is part of some unincorporated area it'd be a bit less but the difference is significant going from western Canada to anything east of Alberta that isn't Ontario.
I'm not going to give a definite yes to that, I'm a Northerner and it's a completely different world up here, but from what I can gather your assessment is pretty accurate.
