South Down Farm, Caledon’s 18.5 Million Dollar Mansion
Just in case you happen to win the $50 Million dollar Lotto Max prize the South Down Farm estate in Caledon, Ontario which lists for $18.5 Million Dollars might be the house for you. The house actually is only the second most expensive house in the Caledon area, the most expensive still goes Eaton family’s famous Hawkridge Farm estate at $24 Million.
The South Down Farm estate is 488 acres in size and entirely enclosed with chain linked fencing and houses the massive 13,000 sq. ft. house designed by Adam Smuszkowics. The mansion features include a 6,000 sq. ft. finished basement, beautiful architecture, 5 ensuite bedrooms plus 2 bedrooms below level and an elevator services all floors. The property also includes another house with 4+3 bedrooms, a 16 stall barn, a greenhouse, a pond with great gardens and a large sugar shack. There are massive rolling hills with hardwood bush and streams over 300 acres. For more info and pictures of the property check out the listing page from Gairdner & Associates Real Estate.
The house has been rumored to have been owned by the late Trivial Pursuit co-creator Chris Haney who passed away earlier this summer. I have no way to confirm this, so if you know anything just let me know.
If you are curious where this property is, its address is 1880 The Grange Side Road, Caledon, ON. Which is just west of Highway 10 and south of Forks of the Credit Rd. and is actually close to the Eaton estate as well. See the Google Maps link below.

18.5 million?? Are you serious? Someone who is concerned about the environment and is a supporter of arts and crafts in developing countries lives here? Omg. It’s absolutely grotesque!! How awful!

Hello, I lived next door but one to this house from before it was built to long after. I’ve attended a corn roast there also. It was built as 29,000 as ft. I can tell you that the Eatons built and lived there. They also have a bowling alley in their basement. The second house is for the farm manager to take care of their prize horses. I can’t reveal all, as I would get in trouble, but there security is top notch. As for the trivial pursuit person, his home was either further down the hill along the Grange or on Old Base Line. It is close to 2nd line. His home is much, much smaller. Nothing to compare to this mansion. Plus it doesn’t have stables and massive acreage.

I actually remember when this listing came up for sale. The property itself needed some serious updating, but the lot was undeniably breathtaking.
