Ontario mansion for sale an underground tunnel to its own indoor pool house
If you've ever visited Toronto's Casa Loma and thought, "This is nice, but I wish it had a tennis court and an underground tunnel to a private pool instead of a carriage house," then there's a mansion in Mississauga that might be right up your alley.
Located in the prestigious Lorne Park neighbourhood, 530 Indian Rd. is the kind of house that makes you wonder whether the owners were building a family home or preparing to host European royalty.
And honestly, it could probably do both.
The front entrance.
The sprawling European-inspired estate has just hit the market for the first time in its history.
The back of the house.
Custom-designed by David Small Designs and built in 2005, the eight-bedroom, 11-bathroom mansion sits on a massive 1.54-acre lot that stretches more than 600 feet deep.
An aerial view of the full property.
That's more than two football fields in length, which is pretty wild considering you're still in the GTA.
One of the security gates leading to the house.
But before you even get to the house, you have to pass through not one, but two security gates.
The driveway and front gardens.
Beyond the gates, a circular driveway with an elaborate fountain welcomes you to the estate, with enough parking for more than 20 cars.
The garage.
There's also a three-car garage with two hydraulic lifts, allowing you to squeeze five vehicles inside. So, if you've got a small car collection or just a lot of friends, parking shouldn't be an issue.
The foyer.
The mansion itself boasts approximately 7,594 sq. ft. of living space above ground, plus a massive finished lower level.
The formal dining room.
And if you're expecting the usual white walls, minimalist furniture and grey everything that's become synonymous with luxury homes, think again.
The family room.
We're talking marble floors, ornate coffered ceilings, elaborate crown mouldings, massive chandeliers, hand-carved columns, five gas fireplaces and a sweeping staircase with custom wrought-iron railings.
The living room.
The place is unapologetically extravagant.
The kitchen.
The main kitchen is equally over-the-top, featuring custom wood cabinetry, an oversized island, commercial Viking appliances and a walk-in refrigeration room.
The kitchen.
Yes, an entire room dedicated to keeping your food cold.
The primary bedroom.
With five bedrooms above ground, three additional bedrooms downstairs, and an elevator connecting the floors, there's plenty of space for family, guests, and whoever else you decide deserves an invitation to your castle.
The basement lounge.
But things get even more impressive when you head downstairs.
The bar in the basement.
The finished lower level is essentially a private country club, complete with a wine cellar, billiards room, fitness centre, games lounge, second kitchen and additional guest accommodations.
The billiards room.
And then there's arguably the coolest feature of the entire property: an underground tunnel.
The pool house.
Rather than having to walk outside like some sort of peasant to reach the property's separate indoor pool house, you can simply take a private underground passageway directly from the mansion.
The underground tunnel.
The tunnel is even decorated with custom mosaics and artistic murals, because a regular underground hallway apparently wasn't fancy enough.
The indoor swimming pool, hot tub and sauna.
At the other end is a freestanding indoor swimming pool, meaning you can go for a dip year-round without ever having to brave a Canadian winter.
The sports court.
And if swimming isn't your thing, there's also a full-size tennis court outside.
A patio.
The grounds also feature cascading waterfalls, multiple stone terraces, an outdoor kitchen, a covered pergola and enough manicured greenery to make the whole property feel more like a luxury resort than someone's backyard.
A bedroom.
Perhaps the most surprising part, though, is that the entire estate is being sold fully furnished.
Another bedroom.
That includes the custom furniture, imported chandeliers, sculptures and curated artwork.
The breakfast dining area.
So, theoretically, you could move in tomorrow and immediately start pretending you're a European aristocrat.
The wine cellar.
According to listing agent Ciro Napolitano of Sam McDadi Real Estate Brokerage, the original owners built the home on what was previously a vacant lot and spared little expense creating their dream estate.
The sunroom.
He describes the property as "Lorne Park's private Casa Loma," which, given the architecture, sprawling grounds and underground tunnel, feels like a pretty fair comparison.

Of course, you'll need a royal-sized bank account to buy it, as 530 Indian Rd. is currently listed for $10,999,000.
