Cedar Ridge, Caledon

Cedar Ridge, Caledon

Placed on the height of the Niagara Escarpment in the prestigious Grange neighbourhood of Caledon sits this magnificent home designed and built by Joe Brennan for the current owners. This country estate offers impressive views and its grounds encompass approx. 100 acres of rolling fields, wildflower meadows, 2 crystal-clear ponds and a mature woodlot. The lands are held in 2 separate deeds which would permit another dwelling to be built, if desired. “Cedar Ridge” is perhaps one of Caledon’s finest country estates. 30 minutes to Pearson International Airport.

THE RESIDENCE

The home was expertly positioned to take advantage of the exceptionally long views over the Caledon hills below the home. The views, classic architecture, peaceful setting and total privacy set “Cedar Ridge” apart.

The home’s 6 bedrooms all feature wonderful views, large closets and deluxe en suite baths with heated floors. In addition to the main bedrooms, there is a self-contained 2 bedroom apartment over the heated 4-car garage.

THE LANDS

The current land holding is divided into 2 separately deeded properties. This allows for an additional residence to be built or excess land to be sold off.

Agricultural buildings/outbuildings would be permitted subject to site plan approval.

The property offers a diverse set of landscapes from mature hardwood forests to open rolling fields. The home is accessed via an almost 1 km gated paved driveway which winds past the property’s 2 crystal clear ponds.

An interesting piece of history is the property was part of the original Caledon Ski Club lands given its dramatic elevations on the edge of the Forks of The Credit Valley system. The current ski club lies about 5 minutes away.

Caledon Ski Club, Caledon Riding Club, Devil’s Pulpit Golf Club, Caledon Mountain Trout Club, Villages of Inglewood, Belfountain and Caledon all within 5 mins of the property

The property is located in the heart of The Grange neighbourhood of Caledon which has the highest concentration of fine country properties north of Toronto.
