It’s kind of incredible what kind of properties are available if you venture out of the Toronto bubble.
For example, in Burlington you can basically get two luxury mansions for the price of one mediocre Bridle Path house.
6583 Twiss Rd., also known as LongView Estate, is an extraordinary family compound set on a stunning 65-acre property.
The dining room.
Combining luxurious modern living with rich history, this estate features two exceptional homes: a newly built 11,674 square-foot modern mansion and a fully restored 10,335 square-foot 1905 barn house.
The living room.
Together, they offer an unmatched blend of contemporary design and timeless charm—or, as realtors Lorne Howell and Christopher Invidiata put it, a legacy property destined to be enjoyed for generations.
The primary bedroom.
At the heart of LongView is the main house that boasts four bedrooms and six bathrooms. 
The kitchen and family room.
The main floor of the house is expansive, with bright, light-filled spaces.
The family room.
It’s clear this house was built for a large family, but as far as mega-mansions go, it’s not too over the top.
A library.
The spaces are simple and practical with luxury touches.
Views from the kitchen.
For example, the kitchen features high-end appliances like a Wolf stove and Sub-Zero fridge and freezer.
Views from one of the bedrooms.
The bedrooms each have their own ensuite bathroom and offer views of the beautiful surrounding property.
The basement recreation room.
On the lower level of the house, there’s more living space, including a large recreation room, games room, and a home office.
Another bedroom.
There are also rough-ins for a future second kitchen and wine cellar.
The barn.
Just steps away from the main house is the historical barn house, which underwent a $3.5 million renovation in 2017.
The main floor of the barn.
The owners painstakingly restored the barn to preserve its character while infusing modern luxuries.
The barn kitchen with exposed brick.
They put in a new foundation, stonework, floors, exterior walls, windows, doors,
a kitchen, bathrooms, and more.
A mezzanine area.
Meanwhile the interior beams, wall panels, rafters, and hardwood floors have all been restored to their original natural glory.
The primary bedroom in the barn.
The barn features four bedrooms and three bathrooms.
The living room in the barn.
The main floor of the barn house is a wide open space with soaring 35-foot ceilings and features the kitchen, living room with a wood burning fireplace as well as the primary bedroom.
The recreation room in the basement of the barn.
There’s more living space on the lower level with bedrooms and a large recreation room.
An aerial shot of the barn and surrounding property.
And as stunning as both the houses are, the natural landscape truly outshines them both.
Views from the patio.
6583 Twiss Rd. is surrounded by the natural beauty of the Niagara Escarpment.
Views from the breakfast nook in the main house.
The property features endless walking trails that wind through the expansive grounds and panoramic views that stretch as far as the eye can see.
A bedroom in the lower level of the barn.
Despite being quite rural, LongView is only minutes away from essential amenities, top-rated schools, and shopping.
The dining area in the barn.
6583 Twiss Rd. is listed for $13,888,000.
A home office in the main house.
And while few of us are in the position to spend $14 million on a property, I think I’d opt for a luxury estate in Burlington over the Bridle Path any day.
The main house.
There’s just so much more bang for your buck, to put it in crude terms.
