About this home
Breathtaking Ravine Views Meet Striking Architectural Design Set on over two acres of secluded woodland, this extraordinary custom-built estate blends dramatic architecture with natural serenity. From the moment you enter, soaring 23-ft ceilings and numerous skylights flood the home with sunlight, highlighting sweeping open-concept spaces and elegant curved upper hallways. Picturesque windows capture stunning ravine and forest views, creating a peaceful backdrop throughout. The sunlit main level flows seamlessly into the spectacular indoor heated pool and hot tub-an all-season private oasis ideal for relaxation or entertaining. With more than 7,700 sq. ft. of finished living space, the home offers 5+1 bedrooms. 5 baths and inspired design at every turn. The Scandinavian-style kitchen pairs clean modern lines with tranquil treetop vistas, while a spacious office provides a refined work-from-home retreat. The upper levels continue the architectural drama, culminating in a unique third-floor loft that rises into the canopy-perfect as a studio, reading haven, or memorable bedroom surrounded by elevated woodland and ravine scenery. The lower level enhances the home's resort-like feel with direct pool access, a wet bar, a sixth bedroom, a full bath, and a walkout to the expansive grounds. Recent updates include refinished second-floor hardwood (2023), a new cistern (2022), and a freshly paved driveway (2022). A three-car garage, abundant parking, and a lot stretching from Old Dundas Road to Lower Lions Club Road complete this exceptional offering. A rare fusion of bold design, breathtaking ravine views, and exceptional privacy-yet only minutes from modern conveniences-this estate is a truly unparalleled retreat.

Heads up: the asking price here sits well below what comparable listings suggest. In this market that usually means it is priced to draw multiple offers, so plan for competition and a final number above asking. I would not put an automatic figure on this one. Tell me you are interested and I will pull the most comparable recent sales and give you a straight answer on what it will really take.
Ask Moe if this price is fairOn location, it is moderately walkable, so some daily errands are within reach and for the rest you will likely drive. WILSON at MONTGOMERY is about a 8-minute walk away.

Talk to Team Asgarian about your options
Rates and programs change often. We will connect you with a trusted mortgage professional and build a plan that fits your budget and goals.
Estimates only, not a mortgage quote or pre-approval. Figures use Canadian semi-annual compounding, current minimum down-payment rules, CMHC premium tiers, and Ontario (plus Toronto, when selected) land transfer tax. Actual rates, taxes, insurance, and closing costs vary by lender and property. Confirm every number with your mortgage professional.
Investor snapshot
Income potential: the basement has a separate entrance, which often supports a rentable in-law or second suite. That can lift real rent well above the figure above and help carry the mortgage. Ask us about permitted use in this area.
Thinking of this home as an investment? We will pull real comparable rents and run the full numbers with you.
Talk about the numbersEstimates only. Rent is modelled on above-grade size and local norms, so a finished basement or second suite (a separate entrance often means one) can push real rent well above this. Taxes, fees, and vacancy vary by property, and cap rate is before financing. A starting point, not a final number, let us run the real ones with you.
