Surreal Estate: $6 Million for an Aurora farmhouse on acres of protected woodland
What house in the country would be complete without a three-season room, a home theatre, a staircase–wine rack combo and a winding driveway?
Location: Aurora
Price: $5,995,000
Size:On 12 acres of land, a 4,100-square-foot home with a 1,895 square-foot finished basement is situated.
Bedrooms: 4
Bathrooms: 6
Parking spots 3
Real estate agents: Carolyn Scime, Chestnut Park
The place
A four-bedroom, 6-bathroom property in the suburbs of Aurora. The farmhouse and its three-car garage are at the end of an extensive private driveway that runs through more than 12 acres. Highlights include a Muskoka three-season room, soaring timber trusses and an outdoor hot tub.
The History
The home was constructed in the 1980s to resemble a farmhouse that is long gone. The current owners, a couple, purchased the place in 2010 and immediately renovated the interior and exterior—finishing the basement, paving the driveway and planting trees throughout. Now they’re downsizing and putting it all on the market.

The tour
The front entrance (in the background), leads to the stairwell. Next, the kitchen is reached. Hemlock hardwood flooring is found throughout.
This reverse shot shows the marble island with built-in media center, double wall ovens, and informal eating space overlooking Muskoka.
There’s a Wolf induction cooktop embedded in the island with a built-in ventilation system.
The beverage station is conveniently located next to the dining area. It includes a wine refrigerator.
Here’s that three-season room, with screen walls. It looks out onto the backyard and an endless forest.
Next up, the home’s central feature: its sunken great room.
It has a gas fire place (designed to look as if it were a wood stove) and vaulted wood trusses lined the ceiling.
These French doors lead out onto the patio.
The formal dining room with a second gas fireplace.
The bay window lounge is conveniently within arm’s reach of the bar.
This powder room is located on the porch.
And this office space—with corner windows, a built-in bookcase and grasscloth wallpaper—is the last stop on the main-floor tour.
The four bedrooms are located on the second level, and each has its own ensuite bathroom.
Here’s the main bedroom. The French doors of the main bedroom open onto a Juliet balcony with a view of the backyard. The dormer adds a touch of class.
The main ensuite is equipped with a soaker bath, a shower in glass, a separate bathroom (not shown) and marble tiles.
This bedroom has semi vaulted ceilings, an interesting light fixture, and open shelving which doubles as a showcase.
The ensuite features a walk-in-shower, penny-tile flooring and an elegant exposed-sink.
Heading to the basement reveals the space-saving wine rack–staircase combo. This sliding barn door provides more storage.
The basement is equipped with heated floors as well as a walkout to your backyard.
There’s a sunken home theatre down here that also connects to the patio.
Down the hall, you will find the gym.
And here’s the deck.
The deck and the Muskoka Room.
The patio with herringbone-bricks is where the real fun happens: there’s a firepit, hot tub, manicured garden and a beautiful view of the countryside.
It’s so nice you have to see it twice—this time from above.
A third of this property is covered by a lawn that would be suitable for a golf-course, and the remainder is protected woodland.
Finally, here’s a shot of a winding driveway.
