I went to my family’s this weekend for Thanksgiving, and on my last day I was at my sister’s near Renfrew, Ontario.  They have a beautiful home on the Madawaska River, but right beside them is her husband’s grandfather’s estate.  He has since passed away and the entire estate is sitting there empty: empty barn, empty Victorian stone house (at least 130-years-old), and hundreds of acres of land nestled along the river.  I always love taking a walk through the property whenever I go for a visit.  It’s one of the most beautiful and peaceful places on earth.
