The welcome, the listening, the trust-building, and Mr. Nicolas Bruguière's exceptional professionalism in real estate, mastering all the details and communicating the potential to the buyer, are remarkable.

An outstanding team with professionalism and human qualities. Exceptional support in all interactions between parties (notaries, clients) and an ability to facilitate the resolution of inevitable small problems for the benefit of both the seller and the buyer.

From the first phone call to the signature, through all the visits, Patrick has been present, reassuring, and attentive. He guided us through every step of our search with his warmth and reassured us with his unwavering professionalism. Among all the agents, he is the most devoted and passionate we have ever met. Thank you, Patrick and Charlotte, for everything you have done for us.

I had the chance to rely on Patrick Poncet and his team when it was necessary to sell my parents' property quickly and of course, in a special, emotionally invested property. I was advised the Poncet & Poncet agency, so now it's my turn to offer this chance to others by recommending it. Thanks to their professionalism, as well as their listening and quality of human relationships, the sale was ideal.
-
I had the chance to receive help from Patrick Poncet several times. He has always been valuable, fair, and humane in often complex situations. He is trustworthy and knows how to go beyond his role, always with efficiency and tact. His knowledge and network in luxury real estate make him an essential figure not to be bypassed! It's a great encounter!
-
I highly recommend the Poncet & Poncet agency. We just sold our family home effortlessly with top-notch support and professionalism, not to mention Mr. Poncet's extreme kindness. A big thank you to them!
-

I sold a secondary residence through the Poncet agency. Quality of contacts, photos from the drafting of the ad, tenacity in the search, and excellent selection of buyers, in a word, very professional. I will add the empathy and relational skills of the director Patrick PONCET. I understand why Christie's chose Poncet & Poncet to represent them in the region. The match is perfect. I highly recommend this agency.
-
Poncet & Poncet is not a real estate agency... it's so much more! Having the privilege to meet Patrick Poncet ensures being listened to, understood, advised, accompanied... and above all, if you are a buyer, finding the exact property you were looking for, or if you are a seller, being presented to the buyer you hoped for... So, through encounters and exchanges, P. Poncet transforms our concerns into privileged moments because the best solutions are found. Thank you.
-
Freshly arrived in the Montpellier region, we were welcomed by Patrick Poncet who listened to us and even came to Paris to meet us and better understand our wishes to fulfill our dream! A great professional, he immediately understood what we expected from him. With his wife, Charlotte, they humanized a profession that sometimes forgets this approach. Our Parisian apartment was sold in two hours by him, and it took a week to find our house and the teams (architect, project manager, companies) to allow us to make it to our taste. We can only recommend this agency. A big thank you to both of them.
-
If he weren't the recognized professional he is, Patrick Poncet could be a conservator of historic monuments. It is so rare to be taken care of for your purchase by someone who combines the passion for his job and a perfect knowledge of Beauty. And what a welcome!
-
It is rare to meet someone in this profession who quickly understands your motivations and constraints; this is the case with Patrick. The result is an appreciated efficiency and professionalism. His good mood makes him a endearing person to interact with, always with a positive spirit.
-
Thanks to Patrick, Huguette, and Benjamin for their professionalism, competence, kindness, and also to Charlotte, the agency's friendly voice on the phone! We rely on this very professional team for the next steps of our adventure. We look forward to seeing you again with great pleasure.
-
A big thank you to Patrick and his team. He was able to assess our villa in Vautes at a fair price, allowing us to invest in a new project without any surprises. A very professional team, a real pleasure to share these important moments with them. Congratulations and thank you again.
-
Effective real estate search. Permanent assistance during the transaction and constant availability. This is exactly what we expected. Thank you for everything.
-
Very professional agency, attentive to clients' wishes, relevant in its analyses, creative. In short, excellent service.
-
An exceptional agency, both in terms of the properties offered and the human support. Entering it is an adventure full of emotions...
-
Extremely efficient, friendly, available, reliable agency. Total satisfaction.
-
Excellent agency, attentive and highly professional.

Patrick Poncet was recommended to us by friends in Montpellier. We live in Singapore and it was very important for us to find someone we trusted who could help us buy from a distance. Patrick took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for and we chose our property after just visiting four homes. Patrick has been extremely helpful throughout, available to speak or zoom when required and has gone above and beyond to help us close the sale. We would definitely recommend Poncet & Poncet for a quality property purchase in Occitanie. Merci Patrick!
-
Simply the best I've ever meet across in all my real estate deals around the world. Many thanks to these 2 great professionals who are now friends, Mr.Patrick Poncet and Ms. Héléle Dessort.
-
Helene and Benjamin went above and beyond in their efforts while we were house hunting in the Narbonne area, from the first viewing all the way through to the completion date, especially with Helene’s very good spoken English. Highly recommended. Thank you for an excellent service.

Estate agents in France include the good, the bad and the ugly. A few are very good. Poncet & Poncet is exceptional, with several remarkable talents and a strong, mature, serious team. Patrick Poncet is an extremely talented photographer as well as negotiator and is producing striking multimedia presentations including very smart drone-camera work which really highlights the portfolio of upscale, historic and characterful properties. Now associated with Christies, which globalises the agency’s very strong local reputation. Definitely a candidate for a beauty contest if you’re seeking an agent to represent a property. And worth a look if you’re a buyer- although a fattish wallet is a prerequisite as this agency is firmly at the top of the market.
-
I have known Poncet & Poncet for more than 15 years. Over this time, not only have I valued the professionalism and the overall competence in real estate, but more than anything I have enjoyed the quality of the relationship and admired the permanent effort to look at any situation through the eyes of the costumer. That level of empathy is hard to find in this area and I believe makes Poncet & Poncet one of the rare companies I would trust to do business with in the future.
-
There are very few estate agents of this caliber. Throughout the purchase of the property they provided a very fair approach between the seller and myself, and managed to hold the deal together through these challenging times. Patrick is intelligent, driven and proactive. I would recommend Poncet & Poncet. Thank you.
-
We have had the chance to meet and finalize a transaction with Patrick from Poncet & Poncet. Last year, we were searching for a house close to Nîmes. First, Patrick has immediately understood our taste and budget. We did not waste our time thanks to an excellent listening of our requirements. Second, Patrick loves what he does and he has been able to communicate professionally about the specificities of the house in total transparency and the benefits of the surroundings without botching-up. Third, and it’s even more important, we remained good friends and we know that we can count on him when the house is not occupied. He is always ready to help, advise and recommend the most experienced artisans of the region. Patrick is an excellent professional! From Dubai - United Arab Emirates

If we could give 10 stars we would give it...finally one serious real-estate agency, who loves working with it's clients. Charlotte & Patrick helped us to sell one apartment, they were always available to us and really listened to our wishes. Respectful, elegant persons and very professional. You can feel, that they're doing this with a lot of passion. We wish you all the best on your road and stay like you are! Thanks a lot to both of you.
-
My experience with Charlotte and Patrick was wonderful. We acquired a very special property, and he took plenty of time with us and shared many wonderful photos that he took. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for property in France. Especially something extraordinary.
-
If you are searching for your dream property, then look no further, Poncet et Poncet is the standard to which every Estate Agent aspires, a bespoke approach tailored to your desire...we are forever grateful for our beautiful Mas.
-
Patrick loves people and it shows. Very professional, but above all kind and caring. Pays attention to detail and always prepared to go the extra mile. Expert, a man of taste whom we are very pleased to have found and to have worked with.
-
We couldn't have found a better real estate agent. Patrick quickly understood what we were looking for, making our search for our dream house between Montpellier and Nimes very pleasant. He also helped with the paperwork, making everything very smooth and well-organized. Thanks, Patrick, for everything.

From my point of view, Poncet et Poncet is simply the essential real estate agency in the market for exceptional properties in Occitania. It manages to simultaneously reconcile and in a unique way on the Region: the requirement of the very high-end, an incomparable international network, an unwavering responsiveness, and above all, an unmatched understanding of the client's needs. Originally from Montpellier, looking for a second home in this region, we were very demanding in our request. The Poncet et Poncet agency not only kept the promise they made to us to find the rare gem but managed to anticipate and meet our desires on points we hadn't even thought of. This is coupled with perfect technical expertise and an unparalleled knowledge of local prices: the agency has always offered me properties at the right price without trying to artificially inflate them. In reality, and this is essential, the professionals at Poncet et Poncet are not just sellers but genuine advisors to their clients. Their accuracy and their incredibly endearing personalities inevitably lead those who meet them to forge bonds of trust and friendship that are priceless. For all this, we thank them deeply.
The property
THE DESTINATION ON CHARLESTON LAKE
The Destination is the quintessential Canadian waterfront experience. To say this property is one-of-a-kind is an epic understatement: it is nothing short of irreplaceable. Perched on a promontory composed of natural rock formations, this property comprises 10 structures, 6 of which are villas. 4 of the villas have bedroom suites and the other 2 are entertaining spaces that could facilitate additional bedroom suites. The placement of the villas is one of the elements that makes this property so unique. Each one owes its proximity to the water's edge to grandfathered by-laws, creating a synergy between the property and Charleston Lake. Having taken 5 years to develop, the property's romantic essence is akin to that of a Mediterranean resort.
To reach the property, one must travel down a discreet private cottage road that leads to a parking lot designed to accommodate dozens of vehicles. This is also where the property's greenhouse and vegetable gardens are situated. Current by-laws would only facilitate a property to be built this distance from the water, allowing for a view rather than living on the cusp of the lake. This rustic road meanders to the grand gated heated driveway which leads to six villas and two boathouses.
The property was designed to facilitate privacy through separate villas, rather than a principal house. This allows guests to come together as they wish and relax separately in turn. Every villa, balcony and terrace on the property enjoys sublime views of Charleston Lake and the foliage-laden uninhabited island across the water.
The property includes 5.6 acres (+/-)
The Destination is also unique in its anticipation of lifestyle conveniences, both functional and recreational. With two separate boathouses, a Games House, a waterside Fire Pit on The Rock, two bars (one indoor and one outdoor) and a high-end sound system and stage for musicians, there is plenty to delight and entertain. The design of the property itself is also rooted in function, from the comprehensive irrigation and Control4 security systems to the heated driveways to the long-lasting generator and greenhouse that offer the possibility of self-sustainability for one year. Unlike any other waterfront property, this family compound offers maximum privacy while providing for spaces to congregate, a romantic setting and a Mediterranean experience in a safe Canadian setting. There simply is not another. You've arrived at The Destination on Charleston Lake.
THE SETTING
Charleston Lake is one of Canada's most desired and beautiful waterfront destinations. The Lake has over 100 miles (160 kilometres) of shoreline and 100 islands. Nestled into bedrock, the Lake enjoys a rugged feel and is surrounded by stunning foliage and many species of animals. Boaters, Jet Skiers, Sea-Dooers and other watersports enthusiasts appreciate the Lake as a choice destination with fabulously clean water, while fishermen and women enjoy the dozens of fish species living in the Lake. Hikers and offroaders love the terrain surrounding the Lake. Charleston Lake Provincial Park is also on the Lake, as are the archaeological sites at Gordon Rock and Slim Bay. Land lovers will also find fun in the natural area surrounding The Destination. From the property, one can take an offroad vehicle directly to 150-kilometres of dirt bike and snow mobile trails. While many other locations do not permit such vehicles on the roads, the town of Athens does, making such rides easy and enjoyable. Shopping is also available by boat or land. This is the ideal backdrop for a property of this magnitude. The vistas, amenities and scenery provided by Charleston Lake are part of what makes The Destination so special. Much of the waterfrontage bordering Charleston Lake is Crown Land (government-owned), including the uninhabited island facing The Destination. Knowing this makes the location of The Destination and the positioning of its villas extremely exclusive and private.
