The dream has always been to own 10,000 acres and never have to tolerate another humans bullshit. Starting bid in $50M though.

I wonder if you can even buy 10k acres in Canada? lol. The most I’ve seen for sale is 800 and it was in the middle of nowhere northern Ontario

There was one in northern BC that was something absurd like 50 quarter sections - one of the big auction houses like CLHbid had the listing. Whatever it was I calculated out the number of acres and it was bigger than the entire city of Edmonton. There may have also been some leased land included. No clue what it went for.

You'd be surprised how isolated just a quarter section (160 acres) can feel as long as two houses didn't get built right on the property lines.

Ya, my dad’s friends farm is 120 acres, but his driveway is almost a kilometre long and he’s surrounded by other farmers fields. He’s like 40 minutes from the GTHA but his house seems isolated as fuck lol

Not that it’s been for sale anytime recently but there’s an entire township in cottage country that’s privately owned as one parcel, ~42000 acres. 

It belongs to a club started by wealthy Americans, called the longford reserve limited.
