Prospective homebuyers in Ontario have a lot of potential unique properties they can put their money towards.

Whether it's a house that has a lake in its backyard or a $20 million mansion that looks like it's straight outta Bridgerton, Ontario is rife with options if you're looking for a place to buy that's not your typical home in the suburbs.

Just an hour and a half from Toronto there's a $6.9M century-old house for sale with a gushing river right in its backyard.

And at last, the pièce de résistance of the property is the 53-foot waterfall that's just a hiking trip away from the house. Called Lavender Falls, this privately-owned natural waterfall is a "picturesque piece of green lush paradise."
