Château Du Lac - Muskoka

[@StalloneMediaTours]

Ferris Rafaulis Style its truly unmatched, I know we loved getting to tour and shoot our own video of this one of a kind property 💎

[@gutgrit]

Thank you for your comments. Glad to know the video got everyone sharing their thoughts and opinions.

[@jeneevan1]

The attention to detail in capturing every angle and highlight of the home is commendable, ensuring that viewers don't miss a single aspect of its splendor.

[@davidanalyst671]

The design of this house is freaking incredible. I just watched a video on a ranch owners house with 400 acres, and this house could not be better designed, more extravagant, and have a more luxurious feel. The other looked like something out of a sears catalog

[@gesong1649]

Dream paradise, world class residence. Speechless! 😊

[@gutgrit]

One of a kind for sure!

[@erindanelleavilaavilaguerr7251]

I absolutely loved this property. I say it everytime im there or see it, no matter date or time. I just love it.

[@erindanelleavilaavilaguerr7251]

I feel as if I was there silent, dark, all the spaces that could never be finished, and we would do all sorts of things to repair lines together in our tiny town world in the US.

[@jeffreyfajardo4787]

Captivating!

[@johnmurray6636]

I wasn’t sure at first but…spectacular craftsmanship

[@annamariaferranti29]

Wow just spectacular

[@gutgrit]

It really is!

[@claudecarve8869]

My favourite architect has once again demonstrated his incredible talent......absolutely a masterpiece .....however I feel that a cottage should not be this opulent....... where is the boathouse ......still beyond STUNNING

[@kevinfernandes8527]

2 extra for cottage life. Perfect for city life👍

[@jamesjosuejara]

This is what Muskoka was needed, a new thing, ultra-luxury, imagine playing basket at the top of the trees. :O

[@johnmurray6636]

It looks like a nice hotel

[@Muskokajames]

Wow, this project has been in the works for a long time if it’s the same one on burgess rd I’m thinking. I can see why, such a cool and elegant build! Great job, I wish I could get into finishing a project like that!

[@gingermafia]

Yes this is the one on Burgess

[@mohammedines6182]

Je prend immédiatement.

[@jeffmerklinger9067]

No elevator to the dock = No deal.

[@happycanadianguy]

I think the person who owns this (Probably Drake by the looks of the decor) has missed the point of cottage life. It's to ESCAPE this kind of excess. Not to lug it to the lake with you.

[@fjbon1681]

Took the words out of my mouth... the second I saw the basketball court I said...Drake! Then the obnoxious glamor of the interior, ostrich skin?? Hair on hide?? This is NOT a cottage, it's over the top luxury... and I love it!!! 😂😂😂 Minus the ostrich skin and hair on hide.

[@suemacdonald9557]

Yes!!! Exactly. This is not what cottage life is supposed to look like. Some exclusive neighbourhood in Toronto-sure-but not Muskoka! A 40 ft chandelier, come on.

[@brendatruant7404]

I agree with happycanadianguy!! I wonder if owners of a place like this even put a toe in the lake!? Even the kids… do they go fishing and come home for a fish fry, without staff taking them and cooking for them!? Seriously, this mansion could be anywhere!!! What have we done, so people who have been brought up in Ontario can’t afford any kind of lakefront property. That’s my opinion/rant. And no, I am not a socialist. Lol

[@minime6814]

I think tis house is nice.

[@brentm7278]

If I met the people who bought this place in Muskoka it would be heard not to laugh right at them.

[@xtcink]

That is not a cottage - it is for people who have no clue what nature is and no appreciation for cottage life.

[@jamesjosuejara]

so funny my friend you can called PRO cottage If you want

[@MrPhotodoc]

Ostrich Skin?

[@marvona3531]

🌺👍🌺👍🌺👍

[@michaelreece2966]

I agree with some of the comments. Seems way out of place fit where it’s located. Certainly not my design esthetic.

[@luke2264]

Clearly Rafauli knows his game. The detail, stone, bathrooms and bedroom decorations are quite something. The front entrance walk, facade, windows and river birch tree plantings, LR vein cut bar, black marble tub, purple bunk beds are beautiful, striking interior. Wearing stilettos down to the dock and not a stick of firewood needed for the fireplaces kinda kills the Muskoka legacy non? A swimming pool on Lake Rosseau? The lake is not clean enough to swim?.. or the owners would fear being bit by a lamprey? The decoration is really superb work Mr. Rafauli and you were just doing your wonders, but the theme of the Lake is something more reminiscent of the Masseys or McLaughlins non?... maybe I need to do more swimming around Bohemia to get this, or more trips to King W or Miami.. and less mid-night boat excursions at Norway Pt to not get run over by the Jet set on their "jet skis". Again, Rafauli it's beautiful work, narrow cliff and steep bluff lot, but great for swan diving from the railings or pines into the deep waterfront. Very dressy inside, I'd be afraid to come in after bass fishing, but each to his own. JW Rosseau did source their stone locally likely in the baths, perhaps Rafauli did here too. It's gorgeous. Truly it's gorgeous. The more times I watch this video the more times I fall in love with this interior. Superb.

[@mrharry8466]

Absolutely fabulous. No shallow entry though. It looks like a certain celebs home. 19 million and only 4 bedrooms. Erm not for me and good luck they will need it. Love this content, dreaming of the day.....2027.

[@user-od9iz9cv1w]

Good videography. The property is just too much. The definition of conspicuous consumption from the Rolls at the gates to the 20 satin pillows on each bed. It is Lake Muskoka, not some Austrian palace.

[@peteryeung111]

Folks, this is not even a home, it’s a getaway cottage 😮

[@GP-ed1ti]

This place just doesn't fit with the Muskoka vibe. It's gaudy. Muskoka isn't gaudy. This is new money. Old money doesn't go for this.

[@m.w.9460]

I’m sure you would know.

[@GP-ed1ti]

​@@m.w.9460

[@jamesjosuejara]

Yes, and new money will replace old money :)

[@carlgadoury6092]

Nothing gaudy about it have you seen the gilded age mansion, old money definitely have built bigger homes before

[@Nock4Six]

And yet there you are, typing away in your mom’s basement. Sit tf down.

[@marcomayavilla970]

Una arquitectura extraordinaria……bellísima

[@CaraDriscoll]

This city builder should have done his research before he built an over-the-top and tacky monstrosity in Muskoka. He made a big mistake…anyone wonder why a 20M “house” doesn’t have a boathouse? The builder built something bigger than what he was allowed. So the township concluded a boathouse will NEVER be allowed. And anyone who knows Muskoka will never buy this place. It was a beautiful lot. Given this has been on the market for years and counting…this builder has probably (hopefully) learned his lesson. Good luck selling this!! Be sure to let potential clients know to put the boat covers on everytime it rains!😅

[@brando19872]

I mean it’s beautiful but I’d expect something like this on the bridal path not muskoka lol

[@brenturquhart7090]

I guess as a cottage it’s alright. I can do without the basics for a few days.

[@chloechung9755]

Very nice cottage! What is the address and what is the listing price?

[@gutgrit]

H Chloe, here are the official listings for the property. Thanks www.realtor.ca/real-estate/24683379/155-burgess-road-rosseau www.realtor.ca/real-estate/24682856/155-burgess-rd-seguin

[@keetahbrough]

as soon as i see fake decorative fireplaces i know it's absolute pomp and puffery of a place.. there's nothing barely functional in there, isn't it. I would love thee land.. to demolish the house. Then I build a giant, lovely TEEPEE.. set it right down where that monstrosity used to sit.. maybe.. and restore function and style to the Land. xo ^_^
