Hi Robert!
You have much to ponder and I hope the ultimate choice isn't too tough!
Ontario is beautiful, simply put. I'm not talking about anywhere within a 50 mile radius of the GTA though......you don't want to ever live here if you're not wanting to deal with significant population.
Frontenac County, in eastern Ontario, is a lovely area. I'm pretty partial to the central portion of the county as that is where I just bought 50 acres of land. There are oaks and blueberries but no major mountains,lol. There are however significant rock scapes as part of the Canadian Shield and majestic pines and wildlife everywhere. I love the little towns I encounter on my way up to my land and the people are seemingly friendly without being intrusive.....just laid back kinda. There is a major hospital in Kingston so not terribly far from emergency healthcare if needed.
Oh and LAKES! It is the county of a thousand lakes afterall! Always see folk fishing!

Maybe time for a song eh!

"Give us a place to stand

And a place to grow
And call this land Ontario
A place to live.
For you and me
With hopes as high
As the tallest tree
Give us a land of lakes
and a land of snow
And we will build Ontario
A place to stand, a place to grow
Ontari-ari-ari-o !

From western hills,
To northern shores.
To niagara falls,
Where the waters roar.
Give us a land of peace,
Where the free winds blow.
And we will build Ontario
A place to stand, a place to grow
Ontari-ari-ari-o !"

Cheers!
