Own a piece of Ancaster for just $78 million
http://www.thespec.com/news-story/59...st-78-million/
Memo to the Brampton person who won Friday's $60 million Lotto Max draw: scrounge up another $18 million — which would now seem like pocket change to you, I'm sure — and you could be the proud owner of the most expensive piece of property up for sale in Hamilton.
The 69-hectare (171-acre) parcel, on Garner Road East between Highway 6 and Fiddlers Green Road in Ancaster, is on the market for $78 million.
And while the value of the land is connected to its potential for commercial and industrial development, you won't have to pitch a tent because there is a house on the property.
Not too shabby of a house either.
Built in 1995 by developer Frank Silvestri as his family home, the mansion was reported to be 31,000 square feet at the time of its construction, with 11 bathrooms, a 14-car garage and a master bedroom that measured 1,500 square feet on its own.
Silvestri told The Spectator back then that it might have been the largest single family home in the country.
The land is situated about four kilometres northwest of the John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport and is owned by a company associated with the Silvestri family.
