He also acquired an estate on Pointe Villeneuve, near Saint-Augustin-de-Portneuf, Quebec, which he enlarged in 1677 and 1685.
On 3 November 1672, Jean Talon, the first Intendant of New France, granted to him a fief and seigniory in another domain at Pointe-aux-Bouleaux.[2]

In 1703 the debts encumbering the estate still amounted to 700 livres, and Marie Miville, who had sold the lands for 1,500 livres, had died (September 1702), probably the victim of the distress due to a lawsuit by her son Charles, the eldest of her 15 children, had brought against her.
