Home of late hockey legend Guy Lafleur back on the market with lower $1.6M price tag

The home of late hockey legend Guy Lafleur, one of the few Montreal homes with a helicopter pad tucked away in the backyard, is back on the market but for a much lower asking price.

The 21,000-square-foot waterfront home in L'Île-Bizard, just west of the Island of Montreal, is now selling for $1,695,000, according to a real estate listing on Centris. It was originally listed for $2.5 million last year. 

Lafleur died on April 22, 2022 after a battle with lung cancer and was laid to rest in Montreal in a rare honour of a national funeral, where he was mourned by hundreds of fans and remembered as a Montreal Canadiens icon. 

His widow, Lise, listed the home on Place du Moulin for sale last August but it was taken off the market in November. The house was re-listed last month by Montreal-based broker Tatiana Londono.

Her office said Tuesday she was not available for an interview.

The plantation-style home, built in 1996, has three bedrooms and sits on the edge of the Lake of Two Mountains. The backyard not only has an inground pool but also a helipad near the shoreline.

Lafleur lived in the home with his wife for more than two decades.
