LOWER LEVEL

The lower level has many uses from wine cellar to garage space to games room, but is currently set-up to accommodate horses! You read correctly - the horses truly do "live at home". Completely separate air-handling system and some of the finest stall fittings to be found anywhere. The stalls are built of oak and hemlock and all the hardware was salvaged from a premier equestrian estate in the Laurentians. Heated work room/tack room. Direct walk-outs and massive double entry doors. A wonderfully adaptable space.

THE PARKMOOR BOAT HOUSE & PARKMOOR POND

To the west and south of the residence is the Parkmoor pond. Strategically placed on the pond is the famous Parkmoor Boat House. A site for many wonderful gatherings. The octagonal shaped Boat House has a wet-bar, dining space for 8-10 and has a walk-out to its own sunning dock. Awnings keep the temperature moderate. Copper and cedar shake roof. The Boat House is
affectionately known as the summer cottage!

The pond is spring and stream fed and provides enough cool waters for the trout and is home to a wide variety of wildlife. Separate dock along the north edge of the pond.

THE LOOKOUT TOWER & THE WALLED GARDEN

See Toronto to the South and the Hills of Caledon in full 360 degree view. 3-storey building with power and water. Originally conceived as an office.

At the base of the Lookout Tower is a cascading waterfall and walled garden. Reminiscent of England's Lake District, the walled garden is located almost in the centre of the property and it is hard to imagine a more peaceful spot anywhere.

TENNIS COURT AND CLUB HOUSE

Alongside the grass tennis court is an old Caledon log structure from the pioneering era. The structure is in need of repair and has served as the tennis club house and an overflow guest cottage.

The grass tennis court is also perfect for croquet or lawn bowling.

WORKSHOP AND DRIVE SHED

Further along the main lighted drive is the workshop. The board and batten workshop is fully heated with a full height tractor door.

The Drive shed has 3 power doors and offers parking for 6+ cars. Gravel floor. Board and batten exterior.

ARBORETUM AND TREE NURSUREY

Parkmoor features an impressive collection of trees. A passion for the current owners has been transplanting and nurturing an impressive variety of trees throughout the meadows of the property. At the northwest of the property is your own private tree nursery where young stock has been planted for later transplantation.

PERMIT

After an extensive environmental review, Parkmoor has been granted a permit to build a main residence overlooking the trout pond. A wonderful opportunity for a new owner to build their dream home.
