[rfmcdonald]

CBC News notes that Canadiana Village, a community north of Montréal designed to look like a pioneer settlement from the 19th century for television, is up for sale.

Why settle for buying a home when you can buy an entire village?

Canadiana Village, about an hour north of Montreal near Rawdon, Que., has been on the market since the fall. The nearly 60 hectares of land and 45 buildings are going for $2.8 million.

The village is designed to resemble a pioneer settlement from the 19th century, and includes a church, a general store, a mill, a cemetery, a saloon and 22 houses.

However, most of the buildings are just for show.

In its heyday, Canadiana Village welcomed close to 30,000 tourists per year and was a popular destination for school field trips. It's on sale for $2.8 million.
