Address: 619/615 Lakeview Road, Windermere 

Price: $4,700,000

The skinny: Three separate houses with 6,000 square feet of living space on three-quarters of an acre of lakeshore in the Kootenays

The bling: Are you ready to break free and live your unorthodox life? It’s the way nature intended, away from the hustle and bustle, surrounded by the people who love you—all mod cons included, natch. Here are two houses boasting 4,700 square feet between them and— mercies be —they are identical. What a relief, right? No more being accused of playing favourites: this is your purpose-built, equitable dream compound. Far away from prying eyes, this bountiful acreage (lots of room to grow and build) will keep the nosy parkers—who will never understand the joy of family gatherings—firmly at bay.

The hidden extras: All the space you need—including a separate cottage—hidden away from view with your own private beach
