This home in Caledon was once owned by the inventor of Trivial Pursuit. With 24 acres of land, it’s more of a compound than a simple house. At 15,000 square feet, this home has six bedrooms and ten bathrooms, as well as parking for 20 cars (perfect for big dinner parties), a pool and a log cabin guest house.

ADDRESS: 18696 The Gore Road

NEIGHBOURHOOD: Caledon

PRICE: $8,800,000

THE PLACE: A 15,000-square-foot West Coast–inspired home with panoramic views across a 24-acre property in Caledon, a popular woodsy escape for the wealthy (members of the Eaton family, Norman Jewison, Shania Twain and Elton John are all rumoured to have country homes in the area).

BRAGGING RIGHTS: Past owners include celebrity author and clean-eating guru Tosca Reno and Trivial Pursuit inventor Chris Haney.

BIG SELLING POINT: The staggering beauty of the acreage, with its heritage log cabin, horse stables, swimming pool and pond, will make you feel like you’ve gone on a permanent vacation.

POSSIBLE DEAL BREAKER: This is not Toronto. However, in exchange for an hour’s commute, you’ll get 10 times the space you could ever wrangle within city limits.
