Racine pairs wide-open country living with quick connections to the Eastern Townships’ main services. Set within Le Val-Saint-François, the community offers quiet roads, starlit skies, and room to spread out, while daily needs and cultural outings are within easy reach of Sherbrooke and nearby Valcourt. Residents value the local maker culture, seasonal farm stands, and a calendar that still revolves around maple season and summer patios.
Food lovers make regular stops at the award-winning Fromagerie Nouvelle France, while tech and history buffs head to the Musée de l’ingéniosité J.-Armand Bombardier for hands-on exhibits. Weekends often lead to the trails at Parc national du Mont-Orford for hiking, fall colors, and skiing. Kayaking, road cycling, and quiet fishing holes are never far from the doorstep, and a strong volunteer spirit keeps local events and recreation humming year-round.
For families, schooling options are anchored by the French-language Centre de services scolaire des Sommets, with elementary and secondary programs in the sector, and English-language pathways through the Eastern Townships School Board. Whether you’re upsizing to acreage or looking for a low-maintenance retreat, local real estate runs the gamut from classic farmhouses to newer builds.
