The benefits of your own green hideaway go beyond aesthetic and curbside appeal. Scientific articles back up the health benefits of being in nature. Why leave your backyard to practice Shinrin-Yoku (the Japanese practice of forest bathing) when you can sit amongst your own evergreens, just steps from the wine cellar? If the quiet wash of wind through the trees isn\u2019t enough to convince you, consider the added privacy and picturesque scenes from your first floor windows, and get inspired with these dream homes across Canada with incredible gardens.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Lush Lakeside Estate, Toronto, ON<\/h2>\n

Southern views of Lake Ontario are a welcome addition at this already impressive Wynchwood Park Estate property<\/a>. Built in 1915 and lovingly restored, the interior has incredible presence thanks to its high ceilings, antique stained glass skylight, and dramatic staircase.<\/p>\n

Outside, the grounds are more subtly commanding. Naturalized gardens climb and complement the classic architecture, while a gazebo and pool offer another outdoor space for repose and leisurely hours spent wandering (and wading) outside. Nearby common areas include a tennis court and picturesque pond.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Palatial Retreat, Saint-Fran\u00e7ois, QC<\/h2>\n

This gated, stone-clad property on Qu\u00e9bec’s Rivi\u00e8re des Mille \u00celes<\/a> offers a grand setting to relax in your own personal castle. Wood, marble, and wrought-iron detailing throughout create a sumptuous feel, and the 10-foot ceilings and abundant windows offer views of the river and surrounding property. In the private, hedged backyard, recline by the swimming pool surrounded by elegant gardens and fountains. The property backs directly onto the river, so when adventure calls, sail away from your private dock for a cruise to nearby golf courses and stables.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Garden Gathering Space, Calgary, AB<\/h2>\n

Stately is an understatement at this Aspen Estates manor house<\/a>. This one-acre property begs for guests and outdoor gatherings. The 1,200-square-foot patio features warm cherry wood archways awaiting string lights and climbing plants.<\/p>\n

Rundlestone and sandstone rock frame the property, and a stunning waterfall feature sets the welcome tone as you arrive in the stamped concrete driveway. Well-considered landscape lighting makes it just as incredible after dusk. When you aren\u2019t entertaining, retreat inside to the gourmet kitchen, relax in the great room by the fireplace, or enjoy a pint at the Irish pub\u2013style bar.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Stoneridge Hall, Caledon, ON<\/h2>\n

Feel like you’re living in a Jane Austen novel at Stoneridge Hall, a country Georgian residence<\/a> on 86 acres of land in Caledon, Ontario. J.F. Brennan designed the home in the Doric Order, and his attention to detail is visible everywhere\u2014from the elegant formal gardens and enormous swimming pool to the ornate Great Hall and spacious, light-filled bedrooms.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Oceanfront Dream Home, Saanich, BC<\/h2>\n

Entertain in style at oceanfront Ardmore Hall<\/a>. The Hampton-style main residence faces due west over the vast Pacific, and the party-ready features include a guest house, pool, games room, wine cellar, theatre room, and parking for 12. The two-acre grounds feature several ponds, fountains, waterfalls, sculptures, and an imported marble gazebo.<\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re in search of serious seclusion or looking for a magnificent space for entertaining, these outdoor properties offer much in the way of naturally-walled privacy and room to accommodate your guests in a tasteful and serene setting.<\/p>\n
