Glen Warren
Shanty Bay,
Lake Simcoe
Ontario,Canada
Breathtaking secluded lakeside country estate, minutes from Barrie,
one hours drive from Toronto.
"Glen Warren" was designed by the architect Oluf Albrechtsen for J.J. Warren, one of Canada's leading financiers, and his wife Annie Edith Parker Warren, as their summer home. Located four miles north of Barrie, conveniently within the Toronto nexus, the property remains in the family. Although the gardens have been reduced in size, the fundamental character of the grounds remain.
