Originally named Maison Stearns in honour of the pioneering neurosurgeon whose work unlocked many mysteries of the human brain, the house was built in 1905 for the prominent Montreal industrialist Harold Stearns and later occupied for 40 years by the family of Montreal stockbroker Paul-Émile Ostiguy. In the late 1970s, the house was acquired by a law firm specialized in patents, trademarks and copyright law. It was later enlarged to accommodate some 65 people in offices and became headquarters of the Gamma Institute, a futurist think tank. Most recently, the Jeanne Sauvé Foundation acquired the house in 2002 and was restored and modernized under the supervision of Harry Parnass, architect and Founding President of the Sauvé Scholars Foundation.

“Everything sells out here before it’s in the ground,” Mr. Ratsch said, including 24 half-acre lots in the Soleil village that listed for 500,000 to 700,000 Canadian dollars."
"Called "Kenauk," the Canadian property is about a 50-minute drive from both Montreal and Ottawa. It has 13 Scandinavian-style log cabin homes, 70 private lakes and a private marina that serves the property's largest lake, Lac Papineau. That lake has 28 miles of waterfront and has five islands."
"Herbie (Herb Ratsch) is a Certified Real Estate Broker who has completed numerous record sales. Herbie offers strategically tailored marketing campaigns for every property and client."
For $ 7.9 million, you could acquire this 1,213-acre (approximately 5 square kilometers) estate on which there are five waterfront homes and an ancestral farm. Bordered by Lake Lacoste, this land is located half an hour from Mont-Tremblant and two and a half hours from Montreal.
“The sale of this property,” listing agent Herbert Ratsch of Sotheby’s International Realty Canada says, “offers an unprecedented opportunity to secure a piece of Canada’s history, with roots deeply entrenched in the history of the region and of the nation.”
"Kenauk, one of Canada’s largest remaining parcels of private land, and the site of the Canadian Ski Marathon, is to be listed for just under C$81.3 million."
