Address: 1051 Longhurst Road
Neighbourhood: Port Carling, Ontario Agent: Todd Adair, Cayman Marshall International Realty Inc., Brokerage, Port Carling Price: $5,495,000

The Place: A gargantuan estate on Lake Rosseau, complete with a cottage, guesthouse and boathouse.

Bragging Rights: The neighbours won’t be able to compete with all of the luxury extras at this place. Aside from 90 acres of open space, there’s a private airstrip, a private beach, a putting green and a driving range.

Big Selling Point: The boathouse doubles as a second cottage. Built by McCormack Architects, it has nicely designed living, kitchen and dining rooms, sleeping quarters, three covered decks and three boat slips. A 50-foot wall of accordion-style glass doors lets the breeze in on nice days and keeps the rain out on not-so-nice ones.

Possible Deal Breaker: Maintaining this property means keeping three separate living spaces in good repair, mowing a lawn the size of a small golf course and keeping weeds away from the airstrip. The buyer will have to leave room in his or her budget for an entire staff of helpers.

By The Numbers:

• $5,495,000 • 5,680 square feet • 430 feet of water frontage • 90 acres of land • 50-foot wall of glass doors • 12 bedrooms • 8 bathrooms • 3 separate cottages • 3-slip boathouse • 2 storage buildings • 1 private airstrip • 1 putting green • 1 driving range • 1 private beach
