Remarks
Exceptional building lot of nearly 1 acre in Bury, backing directly onto the golf course. Perfectly located 25 minutes from Sherbrooke and 30 minutes from the CHUS. This wooded property features a natural slope ideal for a walk-out basement. Highly flexible R-1 zoning in front allows for single-family, multi-unit, or townhomes, while RP-1 zoning in the back permits single-family or duplexes. Municipal services available. This lot is one of three adjacent parcels; buy just this one or secure all three for a larger project. A rare find for investors or homeowners!
Addendum
There’s a particular kind of calm that comes from building on land that feels genuinely alive. This mature 1-acre wooded lot in Bury is crossed by a seasonal stream each spring, set among mature trees that handle privacy naturally, and slopes downward from the rear — perfect conditions for a walkout basement and a home designed to settle naturally into the landscape.
At the back, the lot borders the historic Pen-Y-Bryn Golf Club (est. 1869), ensuring the rear remains permanently open and free of any future construction. For remote workers, growing families, or retirees looking to build something lasting in the Eastern Townships, this lot brings together the features that are increasingly hard to find in one place: nature, services, and community.
Municipal services and high-speed internet are both available at the street – all the peace of a wooded rural lot, without the trade-offs. Pope Memorial Primary School is just steps away, and the commute is easier than most rural properties can offer: 25 minutes to Lennoxville and Bishop’s University, 30 minutes to the CHUS in Sherbrooke.
The buyer will have 24 months from the date of notarisation to commence construction. Once this period has elapsed, a penalty in the form of an annual fee of $2,000 per year will be imposed; however, if a building permit is issued and construction of a building has commenced, no penalty will be charged. If, within the 12-month validity period of a building permit, construction has not commenced, the permit may be renewed but the penalty will apply.
Interested in the bigger picture? This lot is one of three adjacent 1-acre properties available in the same location, each sharing the same natural slope, golf course backdrop, and wooded character. Purchased together, the 3-acre assemblage offers meaningful development potential — multiplexes, a small condo project, or a private multi-generational estate. Ask your broker for details on acquiring all three.
