CLASSIC LAKEFRONT 5-STAR ESTATE WITH ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES. A main house, pool house, playhouse, tennis court and pool all overlook the lake on a secluded, private, cedar- lined compound. Encompassing nearly 3 acres, the property stretches from its commanding bluff-top setting down the manicured bluff to the beach, creating a level of privacy, prestige, and land ownership seldom found within town limits. This exclusive estate offers breathtaking panoramic views to the south, west, and north, overlooking the only deep water port on Lake Huron. Watch freighters, ships and tugboats navigate the harbour below while taking in some of the most captivating waterfront views on Ontario's west coast. The main house features 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, refinished original hardwood floors, windows on every side of the home, vaulted ceilings with wooden beams, and a massive stone fireplace. The 2-storey winterized pool house(1525.24 Sq ft.) runs along the length of the pool and beyond, with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms on each level. Upstairs offers a kitchenette and sitting room with spectacular views of the pool, lake, and harbour, perfect for housing property staff, business associates, extended family, or friends. The pool is a rare "old Hollywood style" concrete pool, an impressive 20 feet wide by 40 feet long. This resort-like private lakeside compound is the ultimate play destination. From Toronto, enjoy a scenic 2.5-hour drive via Highway 8 leading right to the gate. From Detroit, the property is 3 hours north. Goderich Airport is just minutes away, offering access for private jets. Nearby: a marina, shops, restaurants, a hospital, Stratford theatre, golf, and wineries. Sprawling across premium waterfront acreage, this compound features a unique dual-residence layout designed for grand-scale hosting while maintaining absolute privacy. The only one of its kind- a unique property with the best, unobstructed lake and harbour view. Shown by appointment to qualified buyers only.
