Incredibly isolated - Canada is a huge country. Property taxes, access to basic services, Power/Gas might be incredibly expensive. Groceries are very expensive. Too expensive to build homes in those locations, because of isolation. there is a reason these properties sold for 10 dollars.

Population 5,000. An hours drive from Timmins, 700 km North of Toronto.

Much bigger and closer to other towns than where I grew up. Isolated is relative.

There are houses there already, so it's certainly possible to build there. Probably requires being able to hire and load a double trailer semi, cast a concrete slab, do some plumbing and electrical work yourself.

Bit cold for my liking but it'll suit some.
