Where Great Work
Gets Done 

Every year, companies spend thousands to get their teams away from the office, only to lock them in a windowless hotel conference room surrounded by other companies doing the exact same thing. This year, you have the chance to do something remarkable. 

 

Booking Limestone Bay Estate means the entire 70-acre property answers only to you. No other guests. No shared spaces. No public access. 

 

A change of scenery drives a change in thinking. When your team arrives at the mouth of the St. Lawrence River, the daily grind gets left on the dock. The estate combines dramatic water views, mature trees, and manicured golf greens with modern spaces and technical infrastructure built for serious productivity.
