An Exceptional Estate: Offered for the First Time Outside of the Family!

Every once in a while, it’s my pleasure to be able to present a property for sale that truly stands out as an exceptional home.?While there are no shortage of beautiful homes and charming neighbourhoods in our area, what I’m about to share with you stands as one of the best examples of craftsmanship I’ve ever seen in-person.??

There are times when words and photos are unequal to the task of describing the sense of grandeur that a truly remarkable home can bestow upon its visitors.?It is no exaggeration when I tell you that this is an estate without parallel in all of Guelph-Waterloo-Wellington, and is now being offered outside of the family for the very first time in its history.

Painstakingly crafted over three years by the owner of Reid’s Heritage Homes for his own family, 6793 Wellington Road 34 is a magnificent country home of 12,400 square feet across three fully finished and intricately detailed levels, set on over 23 acres of impeccably manicured grounds.?Every aspect of this extraordinary home has been hand-built by expert craftsmen to exacting specifications; designed both to impress and to withstand the test of time.

Making your way up the winding drive, over the gently rolling landscape and past the reflecting pond with its functioning waterworks – you’ll already have a feeling that you’re in for something truly special.?Pulling up to the gated circular drive and what feels like acres of custom stone interlock, the scale of this estate becomes apparent.?Each line and every surface has been thoughtfully designed and exudes quality.?Stepping inside, visitors are greeted by a symphony of light, oak millwork, sleek slate flooring and soaring ceilings.?The circular oak grand staircase extends from the lower level to the upstairs, while sumptuously outfitted hallways lead off in all directions.?From the graceful formal spaces of the music room and dining room at the front of the home, to the stately wood-paneled study, the cathedral ceilings and marvellous stonework of the great room, and a kitchen awash in light from the two-storey solarium window with southern exposure and sweeping views of the grounds – there is not one detail left overlooked.?A sprawling master suite with show-stopping marble ensuite and boudoir occupies the west wing of the ground floor, while the more utilitarian facilities of the laundry, cloakroom, butler’s staircase and access to the attached oversized garage lay off to the east of the kitchen.

The 5,200-plus square foot lower level is accessible via three points: the grand staircase, the aforementioned butler’s staircase, and directly down through the solarium to the side of the kitchen.?Again, this lower floor is divided in a most practical fashion and anchored by the cascading light of the solarium itself.?A full home gym and games room lies just to the east of the luxuriously carpeted downstairs hall, while further in that direction you’ll find an indoor whirlpool served by dual washrooms/changerooms and kitchenette, a generously proportioned sauna, and the extensive utility room.?Multiple walkouts to the rear grounds may also be found in this part of the home.?Back towards the center is an eminently comfortable family room/den, its fireplace ideal for warming up family board game nights and quiet winter days at home.?Meanwhile, the western half of the lower level is home to the guest suite, complete with two separate bedrooms (one with dual single beds for the kids, and yet another enormous principal suite), both of which share access to a fully equipped ensuite bath.?A 16’x53’ hobby room rounds out this level – a great space for children to blow off steam, or for any possible model railroader.

Heading back upstairs, past the towering windows and crystal chandelier visible from the grand staircase, you’ll find an equally impressive upper floor which features four additional bedrooms and another three bathrooms – all set amid more of the lovely oak millwork you’ll by now come to expect, lush carpeting, and wide vistas of the rolling grounds.

All told, this splendid estate boasts seven bedrooms, 10 bathrooms (of which six are ensuite), 12 garage spaces, four furnaces, two AB Genset generators, and dual bunkies.?A remarkable property, the like of which is rarely seen for sale anywhere in Southwestern Ontario… or all of Canada, for that matter.?For all of the detail that can be conveyed remotely, this property must be seen in person to be adequately appreciated.
