Almost $13M Ontario estate has 90 acres of land with rare development permissions

Every once in a while, a home pops up in the Ontario real estate game that makes you pause and dream of the possibilities.

And 5431 Appleby Line in Burlington, a sprawling and custom-built estate on 87 acres of beautiful land, is one of them.  Clocking in at an impressive 9,300 square feet with five bedrooms and six bathrooms, the property is a masterclass in luxurious living — with built-in investment potential.

Investment potential, you ask? The land has been granted rare zoning permissions, allowing buyers to operate a business in agri-tourism and other select sectors. (But more on this later.)

A sprawling estate ripe for opportunity.

The home makes a statement before you even step inside. Starting off with a gated entry, buyers are greeted by 19-foot custom iron gates and an expansive circular driveway, promising ultimate privacy.

The land boasts manicured green spaces and three ponds

Inside, a grand foyer awaits at the heart of the home, where soaring 18-foot vaulted ceilings define the main living spaces. Notice the striking cherry hardwood throughout.

On this level, you'll find the chef's kitchen, featuring a beautiful granite island, walk-in pantry, built-in oven and microwave, and ample storage space.

The light and dark woods contrast for flow and movement.

The main level also includes the primary and second bedrooms, the ultimate spots for rest and relaxation. Ample windows allow natural light to pour in throughout.

Views of the property are unmatched, especially from the primary bedroom.

As for the five-piece primary bathroom, we're talking double sinks, a luxurious soaker tub with views of the surrounding property, and a walk-in shower where you can wash away the day's stress.

Cool-toned hues and ample storage space are here in the primary bathroom.

Move on down to the lower level and get stoked for not one, but two recreation rooms, plus a noise-insulated (and walkout) basement. Here, you'll find carpeted spaces, a gym, a games room, and a guest suite!

The basement is perfect for multi-generational living, thanks to the guest suite and loads of extra room.

The real magic lies outside the home on the extensive and scenic land parcel. That means mature landscaping with three ponds, a large work shed, wooded trails, and horse-ready pastures.

A private oasis awaits with interlocking patios and multiple ponds.

The home's backyard features a beautiful resort-style saltwater pool with a stone waterfall and grand patio perfect for entertaining. Dual access points also enable flexibility for residential growth and commercial use.

A finished inground (saltwater) pool is the jewel of the backyard.

Now, back to that investment potential. With nearly 90 acres of flat, mostly cleared land, the RA zoning within the Niagara Escarpment Protection Area allows for equestrian operations, veterinary services, boutique farming, and select agri-tourism uses.

Enough space and permissions for hobby farming, equestrian use, or future development.

This parcel is one of the largest in rural Burlington that has been granted these special permissions, offering exceptional long-term investment value. It's truly an extraordinary situation. 

Don’t forget the estate's proximity to major transit and growth corridors, with quick access to the 407, 403, 401, and the QEW.

The home also has four garage bays, ample guest and equipment parking, a septic system, and water cistern.

Now available with 50 per cent VTB financing, this home is absolutely perfect for visionaries with a knack for growth. Blending tranquil green living in a custom environment, what's not to love?!
