A Look Inside One of Canada’s Most Expensive Homes

Beer money, Jacobean architecture and Oakville. What do these all have in common? They are all essential elements that make up one of Canada’s most expensive homes, just listed for $65 million by Christopher Invidiata, from RE/MAX Aboutowne Realty Corp.

Chelster Hall was built in 2001, along Oakville’s “Gold Coast”, occupying 10 acres of land and spanning 47,000 square feet. The property also hosts a chapel, gatehouse, underground garage and a lakeside pavillion with pool and tennis courts.  Hugo Power, former president of Labatt Brewing Co. Ltd. and the owner, was inspired by Bickling Hall in Norfolk, and wanted to create a timeless home that will stand for centuries.

Christopher Invidiata, the agent for the sale, believes Summer is the best time to sell as many high-end buyers often have more time to explore properties during these months. As for who the end-buyer will be, the current owner see’s it span anywhere from another family, to even a private school or corporate retreat.
