Description

Welcome to YD Manor, where timeless elegance meets the wild beauty of Muskoka. Tucked away at the end of a long private drive, this extraordinary 6,800 sq ft English-style estate invites you into a world of refined living and natural wonder. Set on 99 acres of rolling meadows, towering forests, granite ridges, rivers, and a private waterfall, this is more than a home; its your personal sanctuary. Spend mornings wandering sun-dappled trails, afternoons poolside overlooking a wildflower-filled meadow, and evenings fireside in rooms steeped in history and character. Inside, heritage craftsmanship takes centre stage: quarter-sawn white oak floors reclaimed from Eatons College Street store, rich walnut paneling from the 1927 CIBC executive suites and Lord Simcoe Hotel, and a showpiece staircase with oak treads and carved newels salvaged from Torontos Royal Cecil Hotel. With 3 grand bedroom suites featuring spa-like ensuites and walk-in closets, two additional sleeping areas, three more baths, and a newly renovated kitchen designed for gathering, every inch of this home offers a sense of place, presence, and peace. An expansive veranda stretches along the back of the estate, offering views of your saltwater pool, hot tub, and the forest beyond. Just 15 minutes to the boat launch in Rosseau, YD Manor is perfectly positioned for both retreat and recreation. Whether you're hosting unforgettable weekends or seeking quiet moments of solitude, this is a lifestyle of unmatched character and quiet luxury, just two hours from the city, and a world away from the ordinary.
