A massive mansion on a quiet lake in southern Ontario reportedly has a new owner -- and it鈥檚 one of the world鈥檚 biggest pop stars.
Justin Bieber has purchased a 101-acre property housing an equestrian facility and a more-than-9,000-square-foot home backing onto Puslinch Lake near Cambridge, Ont., TMZ reports.
Local residents described the area as a sleepy corner of Ontario -- a perfect place to escape the celebrity life.
鈥淭his is a great place to live,鈥� Claire Allison told CTV Kitchener. 鈥淚 mean, it鈥檚 super quiet. It would be relaxing for anybody. So I鈥檓 just happy for him.鈥�
But another resident, Cyndy Haddlesey, was worried that Bieber鈥檚 presence could bring an end to the peace and quiet.
鈥淚t鈥檚 going to create a lot of action on the lake, which maybe won鈥檛 be a good thing,鈥� she said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 a small lake, so I don鈥檛 know. Word will get out and there will be people gawking at his house all the time.鈥�
At least one local Bieber fan was already excited at having a chance to spot the superstar.
鈥淚鈥檓 going to text my friends and we might get a Sea-Doo and spend a lot of time here,鈥� said Ashley MacDonald.
According to , the house was custom-built and features a theatre room, a gym, a games room and 鈥渂reathtaking sunsets鈥� over the lake.
Also housed on the property are walking trails and ponds, as well as a horse-training facility which the website describes as 鈥渓eased out and generating significant monthly income.鈥�
TMZ reports that Bieber paid $5 million for the property, which is located about 65 kilometres east of his hometown of Stratford.
