Style and design Jay Egan, one of the home's listed sales agents, tells CTV News that the estate was designed to "bring Georgian Bay into the home" by including features that capture the "turquoise waters of the bay and it's spectacular western sunsets."

The property was first put up for sale on July 15 and is currently among the most expensive homes listed for sale in Ontario's cottage country. (Bird House Media./HARVEY KALLES REAL ESTATE LTD.)
The ideal buyer Olga Lapshine, another listed sales agent, said that the ideal buyer could be a "Toronto family wanting a year-round Georgian Bay estate," or "someone who entertains extensively, a boating enthusiast, or a collector who appreciates the six-car heated collectors pavilion."

Lapshine said that the home "has a very natural indoor-outdoor flow" and was designed with "natural Eramosa limestone, structural steel, and warm wood ceilings with expansive walls of glass."

According to Egan, the materials used for the home "were chosen to complement the Georgian Bay landscape rather than compete with it." (Bird House Media./HARVEY KALLES REAL ESTATE LTD.)
Amenities The home also features numerous amenities including a indoor-golf-simulator, home theatre, glass-walled sauna and cold-plunge, and a fully equipped fitness studio. (Bird House Media.)

"Unlike many seasonal waterfront properties, this was conceived as a sophisticated four-season residence—a place that works just as well for everyday living as it does for weekends and large family gatherings," said Lapshine.
