Beautiful stream on a corner of the property.  

Quote from @Laura Morlock: I have an opportunity to purchase a very beautiful and unique property - striking century manor house directly on the river, 1.5 acres, huge detached garage/workshop, in a quaint little town 15 mins to two major cities and a little under an hour west of Toronto.I know the property inside and out, it's turnkey, and I would love to own it, but I don't know what to do with it.

I haven't managed to get into the waves yet but they look amazing and the countryside is beautiful!

Do I give up access to transportation, restaurants, cultural activities, doctors, emergency medical care, religious and business activities, vet care and maybe more, to live in the country on my ranch or on the beach in a beautiful country, or do I keep access to all those things and live in the city? 

Ah, the beauty of real estate: no matter the horrors a house has seen - satanic rituals, questionable paint choices, 1970's wallpaper - everything cleans up.Bloodstains?

I need sunshine and warmth (and a beautiful place to vacation with my family.)

The beauty is that you can easily change your mind on this issue in the future.

I lived in Upper Saddle river back in 88 with my parents and remember all the beautiful homes.
