Robert Herjavec, a judge on Shark Tank, gave a tour of his lakeside home in the Muskoka region of Ontario for Homeworthy.com. The property spans three acres with various amenities including a boathouse, guest house, and detached gym. Speaking about its significance, Herjavec noted that growing up in poverty made owning such a retreat particularly meaningful. He and his wife Kym Johnson-Herjavec, who met while competing on Dancing With the Stars, emphasize how the home helps connect their children to Canadian culture.

Story summary
Robert Herjavec, a star from the TV show Shark Tank, recently showcased his lakeside home in the Muskoka region of Ontario to Homeworthy.com. Born in Croatia and immigrating to Canada as a child, Herjavec highlighted the significance of owning property there because he grew up in a modest one-room apartment with limited means. Located approximately two hours north of Toronto, Muskoka is often referred to as "the Hamptons of Canada" due to its picturesque lakes and serene atmosphere.
Herjavec's wife, Kym Johnson-Herjavec (originally from Australia), noted that the home helps their eight-year-old twins maintain ties with Canadian culture. The property covers three acres and includes a main house, boathouse, guest house, garage, and detached gym. It features an open kitchen and dining area designed for family gatherings.
This move underscores Herjavec's journey from humble beginnings to acquiring significant real estate in one of Canada’s most desirable vacation destinations.
