For more than a century, this regal property on the south side of Oakville's Lakeshore Road, just minutes from the centre of town, has been home to a way of life inspired by its original owner, James Ryrie. Ryrie built the estate after he merged his jewellery business with Birks in 1905. He hired Charles Ernest Woolverton, Canada's first landscape architect, to ease the property out of the orchard it was into the artfully treed Edwardian English garden it became.

Edgemere is blessed with almost 1,000 feet of lakefront. Every home is being crafted with direct and unobstructed southern lake views, private gardens, commanding terraces and private drives into individual underground parking garages. All of this is set in the middle of majestic common grounds for strolling, sitting or entertaining. Manicured hedgerows give shape to the spaces around the carriage house next to swathes of rolling grass that unfurl before views straight across the water.
