About Beausejour

Beausejour occupies a useful position on the Manitoba map — close enough to Winnipeg for a daily commute, and positioned as the first proper town on the highway corridor that leads northeast toward Whiteshell Provincial Park. That dual identity defines the place: a working service community for east-central Manitoba's farming and forestry region, and a stopping point for the hundreds of thousands of Winnipeggers who spend their summers heading toward Whiteshell's lakes, trails, and petroglyphs.

The Brokenhead River valley adds a local dimension that flat-prairie towns don't have. The river's spring walleye run draws anglers from the surrounding area, the valley provides canoe access, and the greenway corridor along the water gives Beausejour a natural character that its street layout alone wouldn't suggest. Beausejour District Hospital anchors the healthcare side; K–12 schools, arena, and the commercial core along Highway 12 cover the essentials.

Buyers come here for the commuter equation: a detached home with a yard and a garage at significantly less than Winnipeg prices, 50 minutes from downtown on a good-traffic day. The RM of Brokenhead surrounds the town and offers acreage options for buyers wanting more land, rural silence, and the Whiteshell as a backyard rather than a weekend destination.

Beausejour Town Homes

$190K – $360K

Detached homes on proper Beausejour lots — bungalows, bi-levels, and two-storeys across established neighbourhoods. Solid Winnipeg-commuter value, full town services, and a house price that leaves room in the budget for something other than mortgage payments.

River Valley Properties

$320K – $650K

Properties near the Brokenhead River corridor bring premium Beausejour pricing — and still undercut comparable Winnipeg locations. River access, valley views, and the kind of natural setting that turns a backyard into an actual reason to be home.

RM of Brokenhead Acreage

$350K – $850K

Rural acreages in the surrounding RM offer hobby farms and estate properties amid mixed boreal and agricultural land. Whiteshell access, river proximity, and the Winnipeg commute corridor combine to make this one of the more livable rural zones in eastern Manitoba.

Beausejour Real Estate — Common Questions

What is Beausejour known for?
Beausejour is known as the Gateway to the Whiteshell — the nearest substantial town to Whiteshell Provincial Park, Manitoba's most popular cottage and camping destination. The Brokenhead River valley adds fishing and canoeing close to town, and the community serves as a regional service hub for east-central Manitoba.
How far is Beausejour from Winnipeg?
Beausejour is approximately 65km northeast of Winnipeg via Highway 44, typically a 50-minute drive. This proximity makes it a viable commuter town for Winnipeg workers who want small-town character and lower housing costs while staying within reach of the city.
What is the Brokenhead River?
The Brokenhead River flows through the Beausejour area on its way to Lake Winnipeg, offering fishing for walleye, northern pike, and perch. The river valley provides greenway corridors and recreational access close to town — a genuine natural amenity that distinguishes Beausejour from flat-prairie communities.
What industries employ people in Beausejour?
Beausejour's economy is anchored by regional government services, healthcare (Beausejour District Hospital), education, retail serving the surrounding RM of Brokenhead, and agriculture. A significant portion of residents commute to Winnipeg, making the town function partly as a bedroom community with its own service base.
What is the real estate market like in Beausejour?
Beausejour offers detached homes well below Winnipeg prices in a community with full services. The market attracts Winnipeg commuters, agricultural families from the surrounding RM, and retirees seeking smaller-community character without isolation.
How does Manitoba Land Transfer Tax apply in Beausejour?
Manitoba Land Transfer Tax is tiered: 0.5% on the first $30,000, 1.0% on $30,001–$90,000, 1.5% on $90,001–$150,000, 2.0% on $150,001–$200,000, and 3.0% over $200,000. First-time buyers may qualify for a rebate up to $1,500.
