The $45 million Estate

...The 32,000 square foot, four-storey main house included 9 bedrooms, 17 bathrooms, sweeping foyer, 20 seat theatre, spa, massive playroom, spiral staircases and an elevator. It was outfitted with smart home technology that provided control of everything imaginable. At the push of a button, one could light their way to the kitchen from a third floor bedroom on the opposite side of the house, dim chandeliers, ignite fireplaces or open and close window blinds.

The luxurious property also included 300 metres of shoreline, a private pebble beach, boat house, four car garage, pool, gardener's cottage, stable, greenhouse, century old Japanese teahouse and a baseball diamond.

In 2007, only 15 years after the mansion was built, the Gilgan's had divorced and the Estate was put up for sale. To this day, it has the distinction of being the most expensive residential property ever to be listed for sale in Canada, with a gargantuan price tag of $45 million...

What a waste, what a shame. Great report though.

Wow, what a grand place! Shame its been left but then again with that price tag! Great report and pics

Incredible. Nice find!

Interesting, soulless place. Reminds me of those mansions owned by people on 'Cribs' that are so devoid of soul even when they are occupied. Just a fantastical show of expense and personal wealth.

What an amazing waste of such wealth,thanks for the link and sharing.

Awesome ceiling. Would love to take a shot there..

That is worth a flight over there! What a waste - I love it!
Great report sir!

This is an epic find!! Get in!

Thanks everyone. This place is mind blowing. Such waste.

Very nice as always mate, the details in that building are outstanding and what a price tag!

Cheers for sharing them with us

Beautiful house, would love to live there!
Fab pics too, thanks ..

Thanks again. I really enjoy the positive interactions on this forum. I appreciate your enjoyment.

That looks amazing. Fantastic bleak shots.

I'll have it... can I pay cash?

Wow this place looks insane, thanks for sharing it

Again, thanks. Again, refreshingly positive interactions encourage a desire to continue sharing goodies here. So thank you.

Bearing in mind thats only £29m, It just goes to show how cheap housing really is in Canada! Can you imagine the price if it was built here!
