An unusual sight is sweeping the rural countryside, beautiful homes built by discouraged city residents. Soaring real estate values in the city of Toronto have bred a generation of millionaires, some who have sold their existing home for a huge profit. Others have inherited a home in the city from their parents, who accumulated wealth through saving, investing, and working harder than they should have.
However it was achieved, a large number of families have invested their profits in country real estate. They have purchased rural lots and built dream homes in beautiful pastoral settings. Here is a photo gallery of expansive country homes built by a generation who appreciates beauty and have embraced the country life.
