Lake Ontario, the fifth largest body of water part of the Great Lakes, houses the Island of St. Helen, which in turn hosts one of the most superb estates in North America. Finished gorgeously, from top to bottom, and reachable via a steamboat sized dock, this is quite an extraordinary place to live.
The road towards the main residence is in fact a stairway paved with superbly cut stone, flanked by nicely trimmed gardens and vegetation. The stately main cottage greets guests with a stylish great room garnished with a Muskoka fireplace so massive that it reaches the ceiling. In addition, the residence is also endowed with hand crafted metal railings, unique lighting fixtures, decorative wall designs exquisitely painted by hand, timber framed ceilings and wood panels within the main rooms and elegantly covered verandas.
Great importance was handed to the entertainment purview, which is glamorously noticed in the ladies’ sitting room, the pleasant dining room, classically decked country kitchen and the gentlemen’s games room.
There are further accommodations on the island, such as the three slip boathouse, which is gorgeously trimmed with a dockside gazebo, stone patio at the water’s edge, fire pit and wet bar, and also the guest cottage, reachable past the south terrace and comprising two bedrooms.
The required price for this exquisite 6,400 square feet getaway is $9,900,000 CAD.
