It’s not often you come across a 12-acre property that’s only an hour and a bit outside of Toronto.
But that’s just one of the many things that makes 908 Vandorf Sideroad remarkable, according to realtor Carolyn Scime.
Located in the heart of Aurora, this property is an early Ontario farmhouse reproduction designed by architect Stephen J. McCasey.

“While it has the charm and character of an older home, it has been completely renovated with modern features and finishes,” said Scime.
The breakfast nook and bar area.
The four-bedroom, six-bathroom property truly has all the trappings of a luxury home.
The great room.
On the main floor, the showstopper is the great room with vaulted ceilings with natural wood beam trusses, a floor-to-ceiling fieldstone gas fireplace, oversized windows and solid Hemlock wood floors.
The dining room.
But while the great room takes centre stage, the kitchen, the dining room or the three-season adjoining Muskoka room are no slouches.
The classic kitchen.
The kitchen features a waterfall marble island, while the dining room has a fireplace for extra ambiance.

There’s also a home office on the main floor.

As for outdoor space, there’s plenty of it. Six acres of it are just cedar bushes.

And the best news, if you’re in the market for a modern luxury farmhouse, is that it’s just dropped its listing price.
The primary ensuite bathroom.
Initially, 908 Vandorf Sideroad was listed for $6,950,000 in 2024, and after being re-listed two more times at significant price drops, it’s now been re-listed for $5,495,000.

That’s almost a $1.5 million price adjustment.
The gym.
However, Scime points out that this has more to do with the state of the market than the house itself.

“Between September 2023 until January 1, 2025, there were only eight homes in all of Aurora that sold for over $4 million,” she told blogTO.
The manicured lawns.
According to Strata data, the most expensive house to sell in recent years sold for $4.2 million. It’s also worth mentioning that the house took 333 days to finally sell.

But with the market set to rebound in 2025, it’s just a matter of time before this beauty gets snapped up by a lucky buyer.
