Dreaming of greener pastures on the Friday before a long weekend?

According to a new list of the most expensive homes in Canada, if you've got $45 million of green in the bank, the greenest of pastures could be yours.

Point2 Homes, a real estate search portal that lists homes for sale and for rent throughout Canada, recently compiled the top 12 priciest pads on the market. The most opulent home is a Vancouver mansion valued at nearly $44,999,000 described as an "absolute masterpiece" by Realtor.ca.
