The province is trying to sell a house that was once a marijuana grow operation near the town of Ste. Anne.
The home, located at 6 Riviera Drive, was forfeited to the Crown after RCMP seized pot plants from the property in July, 2009.
In a statement, the province says it is the first court order of its kind under the Criminal Property Forfeiture Act.
The province says the proceeds from the home will be used to fight crime.
The house is listed at $279,900.

The Manitoba government says it will start paying for a drug to treat wet macular degeneration, an eye disease that can cause blindness.
The province will start covering Lucentis as of June 1.
There will be no cost and no deductible to access Lucentis through the eye care program at Misericordia hospital.
Silvia Chiaramello, 68, was losing her eyesight.
Lucentis was the only drug that was helping her see.
Chiaramello, who works as an Italian translator, was forced to pay for the treatment herself at about $1,000 per injection. She says the coverage will be a huge help.
The province is also adding several other drugs to its Pharmacare list, inlcuding treatments for HIV, blood clots and serious middle-ear infections for children with ear tubes.
