English Style Country Estate
Welcome to Darby Lane, an extraordinary property distinguished by its vast grounds and the abundance of deer and other wildlife that roam freely all year round. The name Darby Lane was inspired by the old country residences and deer parks (Darby) dotted around the English landscape of Derbyshire.
Designed by architect Jack Arnold and built in 2005 by the current owners, this residence extends over some 39 acres along Grey Road 40, offering a grand artistic design that harmonizes perfectly with the wooded property.
Adjacent to the residence, a 3,000-square-foot heated building, with its own private driveway, could serve as a shed, stable, workshop or even a pickleball court for future owners.
Located in the heart of the Blue Mountains, minutes from Georgian Bay, Georgian Peaks Ski Club, Georgian Bay Golf Club and downtown Thornbury, this luxurious English-style home offers five bedrooms, six bathrooms, and approximately 4,490 square feet above ground, as well as a finished basement of approximately 1,675 square feet.
The south-facing great room features large windows, a vaulted ceiling with reclaimed beams, oiled ash floors and a huge original Rumford wood fireplace. The chef's kitchen offers Viking and Bosch appliances, an oversized cherry island, marble and stainless steel countertops, and a pantry.
For entertaining, the main dining room overlooks a private courtyard with saltwater pool, pool house and outdoor spaces. The ceiling is adorned with reclaimed wood, and a brick mosaic with Moët & Chandon French champagne shelves adds a unique ambiance.
The master suite on the first floor is connected to a natural gas fireplace and includes a bathroom, dressing room and laundry room. The second floor houses a loft office/library and two bedrooms with en suite bathrooms.
A guest suite with vaulted ceilings, gas fireplace, independent air conditioning and bathroom is located above the garage. The lower level offers an additional bedroom, games room, bar and gym with 9-foot ceilings.
Outside, a heated pool, landscaped gardens, an impressive pool house and a dog fence complete this oasis. Darby Lane embodies absolute luxury in an idyllic setting waiting to be discovered.
