What an over $5 million modern luxury estate in Ontario looks like

If your idea of a dream home involves never really needing to leave your property, this contemporary Caledon, Ont. estate makes a pretty convincing case.

The mansion at 7 Maple Meadow Crt. is currently listed at $5,250,000, and for that price, you get everything from an indoor sauna to your very own putting green.

Sitting on 2.8 acres in Caledon Mountain Estates, the home boasts approximately 9,137 square feet of living space.

The Great Room. 

But what's standing on the property today is a very, very different house from what was here just a few years ago.

A wet bar in the party room. 

Before its dramatic transformation, the property was home to a dated Spanish Revival-style bungalow that looked like it hadn't seen a substantial update since sometime around the 1970s. Think arched doorways, dark wood and lots of brown everything.

The basement. 

In 2023, it was listed for $1,749,000 before the asking price dropped to $1,599,000.

One of seven bathrooms. 

The listing marketed the property as a "project," and luxury home builder Land and Lake Custom Homes certainly took that to heart.

An aerial of the property. 

Rather than simply giving the old bungalow a cosmetic facelift, they essentially started over, completely gutting and rebuilding the house to create the sprawling contemporary estate you see today.

And if you're curious about just how much work went into the transformation, you're in luck.

Another bathroom. 

The builders documented the entire process, from the old bungalow through construction to the finished home, offering a pretty fascinating look at just how thoroughly the property was reimagined.

The back of the house. 

The contemporary exterior is all clean lines, stone, wood and huge expanses of glass, with the surrounding trees helping soften the scale of the nearly 9,200-square-foot home.

Inside, the attention to detail is pretty hard to miss.

The great room. 

The great room has soaring ceilings and enormous windows looking out onto the property's natural surroundings.

The microcement fireplace. 

But the obvious focal point is a gigantic microcement fireplace that stretches 23 feet up the wall. Yes, 23 feet. Apparently, when your house is more than 9,000 square feet, a normal-sized fireplace simply isn't going to cut it.

The main kitchen and dining area. 

The kitchen is similarly enormous, with a huge island, sleek cabinetry and plenty of room to cook without bumping elbows with anyone else.

White oak cabinets and big windows in the kitchen create a bright and calming environment. 

But if you don't want the evidence of actually cooking cluttering up that pristine kitchen, don't worry — there's another one.

The spice kitchen. 

The house has a separate spice kitchen tucked away behind the main kitchen, finished to the same standard as the rest of the house and complete with its own entrance.

The primary bedroom. 

The primary bedroom is on the main floor and gets what is essentially its own private wing.

The primary ensuite. 

Along with the bedroom itself, it includes a massive walk-in closet, wet bar, and spa-like five-piece ensuite.

And perhaps one of the most quietly luxurious features in the entire house: the primary closet has its own laundry.

One of several laundry rooms. 

In fact, laundry appears to have been treated as a serious design consideration here, with a laundry room on every level of the house.

The basement. 

Elsewhere, it starts to feel less like a house and more like a private resort.

The indoor sauna. 

There's a dedicated gym and indoor sauna, both with direct access to the backyard, plus a separate lounge and party room with yet another fireplace.

The backyard. 

And then there's the outdoor space. The backyard is surrounded by mature greenery and has been designed to make the most of the property's nearly three acres.

The outdoor kitchen. 

It features a covered outdoor kitchen and entertaining area, a putting green, and an oversized swimming pool.

The pool with water features. 

Naturally, this isn't just any pool. It comes with a padded tanning ledge, deck jets, an automatic cover and a smart system that lets you control various pool functions remotely.

The putting green. 

Between the pool, sauna, gym, putting green and party room, you could theoretically have a pretty active social life without ever venturing beyond the property line.

One of four bedrooms. 

And despite feeling like a secluded country retreat, you're still within convenient reach of the GTA.

The primary ensuite bathroom. 

Of course, all of that space, luxury and privacy comes with a suitably enormous price jump from its Spanish Revival bungalow days. In fact, the current asking price is more than three times the final 2023 asking price.

Another bedroom with custom wardrobes. 

But considering that bungalow has been transformed into a nearly 9,200-square-foot contemporary mansion complete with a pool, sauna, putting green and enough amenities to rival a small resort, it's safe to say you're not exactly buying the same house anymore.

In fact, aside from the 2.8 acres underneath it, you might have a hard time believing it's the same property at all.
