The Place: A millionaire’s playground in Georgian Bay that includes half a kilometre of sandy beach, a private harbour and a large stretch of forest filled with nature trails.
Bragging Rights: The 50-acre property, aptly named Faraway, offers more than enough room to be alone. There’s even a separate 1,900-square-foot house for visiting friends and relatives, so they won’t interrupt your Zen-like solitude.

why is it flying a yankee flag ????????????????
If you can afford this, you’re a citizen of all nations and can fly all the flags you want.
Maybe they’ll build a cottage condo development on that large property, like they do in the city.
I prefer the guesthouse. Gorgeous property, though. The maintenance costs must be extraordinary!
Must belong to an American star!
Imagine spending a week in the guest house! It would be like winning the lottery!
wow
