Robert Herjavec and Wife Kym Johnson Open the Doors to Their Serene Lakeside Retreat in the ‘Hamptons of Canada’

**Robert Herjavec and Kym Johnson Showcase Their Dream Home in Muskoka**

Television personality and entrepreneur Robert Herjavec, famed for his role on ‘Shark Tank,’ along with his wife Kym Johnson-Herjavec, a former star of ‘Dancing with the Stars,’ have unveiled their idyllic vacation residence in Muskoka, Canada. Often referred to as “heaven on earth,” the couple’s property provides a serene escape from their busy lives, situated approximately two hours north of Toronto.

In an exclusive tour with Homeworthy, the 64-year-old Herjavec and 50-year-old Johnson offered a glimpse into their lakeside haven that spans three acres. The main house, guest house, detached gym, and a traditional boathouse reflect the couple’s commitment to creating a family-friendly environment. Having experienced varying financial circumstances in his youth, Robert expressed how owning such a beautiful home in Muskoka feels like a fulfilled dream for him.

The couple’s twins, Hudson and Haven, are at the heart of their Muskoka experience. Kym, originally from Australia, shared her belief that it is essential for their children to have ties to Canada. “When we had our kids, it was really important for them to have a little bit of Canadian roots. I think it doesn’t get more Canadian than the lakes,” she explained, highlighting the importance of their location to both her and Robert.

One of the standout features of the home is the open-layout kitchen and dining area that boasts captivating views of the lake from every angle. “One of the great things about the house is, it’s almost flat,” Robert noted, likening the perspective to being on a ship. This unique design allows for a seamless interaction with the beautiful surroundings, making it a favourite spot for both husband and wife.

A notable addition to this space is a folding glass wall that opens up to what they refer to as the “Muskoka room.” This versatile area is designed to fend off insects with a retractable screen while still providing the sensation of being outdoors. Equipped with a fireplace, television, and barbecue area, it is perfect for entertaining guests or enjoying family time. The outdoor dining area further complements their lifestyle, adorned with welcoming string lights that enhance the enchanting lakeside atmosphere.

The property’s outdoor amenities are equally impressive, featuring a pizza oven, hot tub, sauna, and even a pickleball court. These features are ideal for leisure and relaxation, allowing the family to fully enjoy their lakeside lifestyle.

Moving down the hill from the main house, the boathouse serves as another quintessential aspect of Muskoka living. “Muskoka is all about the boathouse,” Robert remarked, noting that many residents would opt for just a boathouse if it were permitted. This illustrates the cultural importance of these structures along the pristine lakes in the region.

Inside their home, historic touches have been brought to life with a fireplace crafted from local Muskoka rock, which creates a comforting atmosphere during cooler months. For Kym, the overall experience was initially a distinct change from her Australian roots. “It was so different for me,” she recalled fondly, remembering her first visit to the area as one of disbelief. She likened the picturesque environment to scenes from her childhood favourite film, “The Parent Trap.”

The couple’s openness about their personal experiences and love for Muskoka provides an endearing glimpse into their family life and the values they hold dear. With this home, they have created a space that not only reflects their achievements but also fosters a deeper connection with their heritage.
