Somebody pinch us, we must be dreaming. There are so many spectacular Ontario private islands for sale and they’re cheaper than the average Toronto home. So if you want to make your tropical dreams come true, now might be your chance.
According to a recent study on popular real estate site Zolo, the average cost of a Toronto home comes in around a whopping $1 million.
While the 6ix is full of some truly gorgeous homes, not many of us have that much money lying around.
Luckily, Ontario is filled with private islands that you can buy for less than $900,000.
Some are even as low as $599,000, which we know is still a fair chunk of cash. But the payoff definitely feels worth it.
That’s right, you can get away from it all and be the ruler of your own kingdom on one of these beautiful islands.
From the shores of the Georgian Bay to the secluded Lake of the Woods, there are plenty of dreamy locations that are sure to float your boat.
So it might be time to say so long to city life and hello to island living.
