The Ojhas had great childhood memories of the Delhi countryside. They wanted a place where they could make new ones with their son
“There is this common notion that cottaging is a very Canadian thing to do, but many countries have their versions of it,” says Sharad Ojha, who grew up in Delhi and has fond memories of visiting his grandparents in the countryside. He and his wife, Vineeta, emigrated from India in the early aughts for work opportunities and to raise a family. In 2008, they relocated from Mississauga to Oakville, drawn by proximity to water and green space.
They hadn’t heard of Magnetawan before their agent brought them there, sensing it could be the rustic environment they were dreaming of. Old Man’s Lake is small, with only a dozen or so waterfront properties. The one they viewed was a single storey with a red-brick façade and four bedrooms, listed at $949,000. It lacked the log-cabin aesthetic of many of the area’s other properties, but it was insulated for four-season use. And the land—a unique peninsula—was a big selling point.
“I was pregnant in 2018 and set to take an 18-month mat leave when I decided to move from Toronto to Magnetawan. My husband works remotely, and we just thought,“We found a place on the Magnetawan River and have never looked back. Every morning, I have my coffee looking out onto the river and feel so lucky to be here, which is funny because, when I first met my future husband, in 2013, I was the furthest thing from an outdoorsy type.
