Drinking age is 18 in Quebec—19 in most of the rest of Canada. One may import a certain amount without paying duty (in this case it would be U.S. duty) if one has been out of the country for 48 hours.
I believe they did a story on this on the old TV show “Real People” back in the 80s.
I would only buy it if it were in the US. I couldn’t take one of those cold Canadian winters.
I wonder how the developers got that house built. Splitting two coutries had to be a bear to get approved. Or did the border move after the house was built? How many other structure share the US/Canada border.
In ON, the bumped the drinking age to 19, two weeks before I turned 18. I lived in Ottawa, so it was no biggie (even two years before I turned 18).
Massachusetts changed the drinking age from 20 to 21 on June 1, 1985. It was five days after I turned 20. I was grandfathered so I could still drink.

The original surveys of the property were probably wrong, due for example to compass errors, mistakes in transcription, or just plain incompetence on the part of the surveyors. You’ll see that sort of thing a lot in very old deeds.
