Arguably one of Toronto’s most iconic estates, this French-style chateau is an extraordinary expression of European grandeur on a 3.12-acre double lot in the prestigious enclave of Bayview Ridge. Designed by renowned architect Gordon Ridgely, the residence commands unobstructed western views over the Rosedale Golf Club. Beyond the stately stone gates and circular drive, manicured gardens by Ron Holbrook frame a breathtaking setting featuring a negative-edge infinity pool, a reflecting pond with a stepped waterfall, tennis court, kitchen gardens, flagstone terraces, and a stone cabana. The striking facade spans nearly 150 feet, clad in Indiana buff limestone and rubble stone with Vermont unfaded green slate shingles and lead-coated copper details. An ivy-clad turret anchors the asymmetrical design, lending the home its signature silhouette. Inside, over 15,000 square feet of living space showcases Brazilian cherry wood floors with African wenge inlay, acid-etched antique Crema Marfil marble, coffered ceilings, Indiana limestone fireplaces, and solid North American cherry doors. Six principal bedrooms and two additional suites are complemented by ten baths and warm, richly detailed interiors. The main floor features an impressive library and office with wood-burning fireplace, a grand dining room with artisan-painted walls and ceilings, a conservatory beside the spacious family room, and a sunlit morning room perfect for coffee. Three staircases, including a hidden passage, lead to the lower level with a Bordeaux-inspired wine cellar, cigar room, gym, nanny suite with two bedrooms, a full kitchen, and a large recreation space. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a six-piece spa bathroom, dual dressing rooms, gas fireplace, and sweeping views. Each bedroom enjoys an ensuite bath and sitting area, blending luxury with practicality. This remarkable estate is a once-in-a-generation offering at once grand, intimate, and built to endure.

The Greater Toronto Area (GTA) is a thriving metropolitan ecosystem of 24 diverse municipalities, more than 100,000
The Greater Toronto Area (GTA) is a thriving metropolitan ecosystem of 24 diverse municipalities, more than 100,000 companies and a population of over 6 million people representing 100 languages and dialects. It is the epicentre of Canada’s economy and an international centre of commerce, technology and research. As a region brimming over with every opportunity, the GTA is a magnet for people from across the country and from around the world— with a dynamic real estate market to match.
The Greater Toronto Area (GTA) is Canada’s thriving economic, financial and commercial capital and is the third largest financial centre in all of North America. It is home to over 100,000 companies, boasts 40% of Canada’s business headquarters, generates close to 20% of the nation’s GDP and is the hub for the country’s financial, automotive, research and technology industries.
The GTA encompasses the City of Toronto, which is home to a multicultural population of over 2.6 million people and is distinguished as being one of the five most livable cities in the world in the Economist Intelligence Unit’s Global Livability Report (2011). The GTA is also comprised of the surrounding regions of Durham, York, Peel and Halton, which include 24 municipalities: Ajax, Aurora, Brampton, Brock, Burlington, Caledon, Clarington, East Gwillimbury, Georgina, Halton Hills, King Township, Markham, Milton, Mississauga, Newmarket, Oakville, Oshawa, Pickering, Richmond Hill, Scugog, Uxbridge, Whitby, Whitchurch-Stouffville and Vaughan.
Those who live in the Greater Toronto Area understand that it’s in its multitude of local neighbourhoods that the region’s vastly diverse personalities come alive. From Toronto’s metropolitan energy, to the quieter appeal of urban towns such as Oakville and Oshawa, to the intimate charm of smaller communities like Newcastle and Uxbridge, our Greater Toronto Area real estate experts can help you discover a neighbourhood and home that meets your unique needs.
