100 MELISSA LANE

Description

Welcome to one of Canada’s largest log mansions, a “Yellowstone of the North” located at historic Cedar Point on Georgian Bay.

Built in 2002 as a private resort by an Internet baron, its 4.37 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds has two beaches on 412 ft of pristine shoreline.

Every detail of this one-of-a-kind home evinces uncompromising quality. Every room is a statement with soaring ceilings, rich finishes, and breathtaking views. Outdoors, this waterfront marvel captivates with a private sandy beach w/ cabana, streams and panoramic views on a 90-ft stone pier.

For boaters, there’s an 80-ft seasonal dock at the south beach. For birders, Cornell Labs identified 100-plus species.

At night, gather over a fire pit at the pierhead under a canopy of stars or luxuriate at the patio’s in-ground hot tub by the stone spit and BBQ.

A true legacy property, 100 Melissa Lane offers a level of privacy, scale and beauty that simply can't be replicated. Massive log doors feature hand-carvings and open to a 20-ft high grand foyer with original sculpted artwork.

The main floor features a formal dining room, a living room with wet bar, a sitting room with lake views and a private office. Its Chef’s Kitchen offers Dacor and Thermador ovens, a stove and warming unit, Sub-Zero fridge and wine cooler, a butler’s pantry, garburator, 2 dishwashers and fireplace.

The spectacular main floor primary suite offers vaulted ceilings, stone fireplace and spa-like ensuite with private deck. Upstairs finds 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and an open-concept family room with a game table. The walk-out lower level provides four bedrooms, including a spacious accessible bedroom w/ensuite. All told, the main building sleeps up to 22 in 8 bedrooms, 5 of them ensuite and with a total of 8 bathrooms.

The lower level with its custom stone fireplace is a pleaser for those who love to entertain. Its 20-seat English pub has draft taps, a commercial keg fridge, a Sub-Zero cooler, a high-capacity ice maker and a commercial dishwasher. The game room sports a billiard table, shuffleboard, arcade games and piano. The leather-bound, eight recliner-seat home theatre is Sonos equipped. The gym includes a Precor elliptical, a BowfFex Motivator and three other machines, along with weights and other equipment.

Not least in this private estate, which all-told offers close to 14,000 sq ft of living space, is a 1,300 sq ft fully equipped nearby guest house with a living room, kitchen, two ensuite bedrooms and separate laundry facilities. Large family gatherings, family weddings or other special events may require extra accommodation for guests, to house catering staff or to serve as nanny quarters.

Main lodge amenities include a dumb waiter to bring wood from the lower to the upper level and a laundry chute from the master bedroom to the lodge’s laundry room. Both buildings have heated floors throughout, as does the 4-car heated garage. Parking for 20 cars outdoors.

Other amenities include roadside housing for the garbage bins, outdoor housing for the firewood, a log splitter, a tractor/backhoe with snow-blowing attachments, an irrigation system, Starlink, cell tower, a new cedar shingle roof, and an artistic cobblestone driveway that elicits the storybook legends of the region.
