If you want to move to the communist republic of Canada my neighbour is selling her house. We have the lake and mountain town (ski resort- close enough). We have the following on your list:
Natural beauty Lots of stuff for kids to do Good private schools (depend what you consider affordable) You can get a house with a decent yard for under 1M (what a steal) Driving distance to the beach Very inconvenient- need a passport, flight and a 2 hours drive.
Pass. If we wanted to live in the frozen north we would move back to where we came from.

Ok but you are missing out. Next year we get FREEEEEEEEEE dental care.

I think we already have free dental, in the sense that my employer is required by law to pay for it out of what would otherwise be my paycheck.

Yes, most people have dental coverage through their employment benefit plan here as well but they are adding a national dental care program for those not covered. Under a certain income, not sure exactly what it is.
