This gorgeous $8 million home just outside Toronto is perched on a fairytale property

It's rare that you look at listing photos of a property and get the same feeling as if you were on vacation.

You know, that warm, relaxed feeling like nothing else matters in the world and everything is perfect?

And yet, when we saw the pictures for 17625 Mountainview Rd. in Caledon, that's exactly the feeling we got.17265 Mountainview Road Caledon

The natural wood logs that make up the house are on display. 

The home was originally designed by Edinburgh-educated architect Ian Nicoll and built by Buck Bayliss, who's most well-known for building the McMichael Art Gallery

The home has since been restored and updated and now looks like it should be featured in the pages of Architectural Digest

An office bathed in sunlight.

It has plenty of character, thanks to the post-and-beam and hand-hewn log construction.

The skylights let in tons of sunlight.

The abundance of skylights and oversized windows means the home is full of natural light, too.

"The sunroom is framed with floor-to-ceiling sliding doors which allows a seamless integration with the outdoor space including the dry stack stone walls, pool, hot tub, trees and gardens," Carolyn Scime told blogTO.
