Located at 30 Turner Street in Georgina, Ontario, this magnificent home was constructed in 1861 for the cleric and former principal of Upper Canada College.

The living room with the original fireplace. 

It was later sold to Anson G.P. Dodge, the Georgian Bay Lumber Company founder, and underwent a major renovation to create the elaborate gardens that surround the property.

The home sits on more than 6 acres of land. 

It's believed that the grounds were designed by America's first landscape architect, Frederick Law Olmsted, who also designed Central Park.

Flowers planted around the property. 

The gardens are lush and laid out in an English landscape style.

The iconic wrap around verandah. 

According to a local publication, gardeners still work to ensure that the flower species in the gardens mirror the ones that would have been planted in Dodge's day.

After Dodge, there was only one other owner before politician Edmund Osler bought the home in 1885 and the property has stayed in the family since.

The library with hardwood floors, crown moulding and French doors. 

While there's no telling how much Osler bought the home for back in the 1800's it's now listed for a cool $18,000,000

Intricate details can be seen on the main staircase. 

The home was recently restored and design by renowned designer J.F. Brennan to enhance its historic magnificence and you can really see the original details shine through.

The French doors in the sunroom walk-out to the garden. 

Everything from the grand main staircase to the crown moulding, the 11-foot ceilings, the dramatic wrap around verandah and arched French doors in the sunroom, all add to the majesty of this home.

One of the bedrooms.

Another bedroom. 

The primary bedroom has a balcony, walk-in California closets, and a seven-piece ensuite.

There are service stairs to butler apartment with a kitchen and living space.  

The kitchen has been decked out with all the modern amenities like a Viking gas range and built-in appliances but there's still a fireplace which is a nice throwback to the history of that room.

The tiki bar looks out onto Lake Simcoe.

The home also boasts a basketball and tennis court, a putting green, a dock with a tiki bar, a boat house and 524 feet of sandy beach. 30 Turner Street Georgina Ontario

The tennis court.

The only downside to this stunning property is the basement is unfinished.

The home gym is in the garage. 

You'd have thought with the home being in the family for over 100 years they would have gotten to it by now. 30 Turner Street Georgina Ontario
