DetailsCountry House Hotel Almost 100 years ago, a noted Canadian family began the search for a country retreat close to Toronto. Over multiple generations, significant land holdings were assembled in Caledon, an area known for its natural beauty, rolling hills and pristine waters. Today, one of the most important country properties in The Greater Toronto Area is available. The property would make a superb family home or may suit a new use as a grand country house hotel. The location is exceptional being only 20 minutes from Toronto's International Airport. In today's regulatory environment, establishing a country estate in such a pristine setting with all of the amenities desired (multiple houses and outbuildings, proximity to your own woodlands and trout pond, range of on-site recreational activities) would be impossible! In addition, the asking price has been reduced 20% to reflect today's market! The property is offered well below replacement cost.
Recently upgraded to the highest standards, the main residence is designed in the Tudor Gothic style and is sited to overlook the deep trout pond and to take advantage of the distant countryside views over the Forks of the Credit Valley. THE LIFESYLE
Reminiscent of the grand homes of Europe, this elegant country residence offers it owners and guests an exceptional lifestyle. Watch the deer and wild turkeys feed, fish in your own trout pond, hike the trails, or sample the estate's own maple syrup. This property is truly a world apart. The days unfold at your leisure and one marvels at the beautiful surroundings. Imagine all this within 1 hour of Toronto or just 20 minutes to Pearson Airport. THE DETAILS
Nine intricately framed fireplaces, plaster crown moulding, impressive ceiling heights combine to enhance the principal spaces. A dramatic two-storey foyer with a stately oak staircase creates an impressive introduction. The living room is anchored with a fireplace at either end and is a perfect room for entertaining. The 2-storey family room is located at the east end of the home and has custom stained-glass accent windows, a walk-out to the terrace and barrel ceiling. The kitchen includes a pantry, fireplace and servery and is perfectly situated alongside the dining room. The kitchen can be either open to the dining room offering views over the property or can be closed off for more formal occasions. The sumptuous master suite features a fireplace, twin dressing rooms, his and her en-suite baths and a private terrace. The wak-out lower level offers your own in-home spa including exercise studio, indoor/outdoor pool, steam room, and changing facilities.
As noted above, the building footprint, amenities offered and the natural setting distinguish this estate from any offering available on the market today. Additional buildings include a Gate House, a luxury Coach House apartment, a Guest Cottage across the driveway from the main house, a Guest Loft Apartment over the garden garage near the main house and an authentic one bedroom Log Bunkie in the valley near the main house. The amenities of the property include a sporting clays course, trout fishing, endless wildlife (deer, turkey, rabbits, migratory wildfowl, etc.), extensive maple sugar bush, tennis, pool, fly fishing, space for car collection, workshop, gardens, hiking, skiing, snowshoeing, maple syrup operation, orchard, etc.
