If you love a good spa, but not the people, this home is the answer. Located in the Bridle Path neighbourhood, the description for the $26.8 million home sounds like a travel ad: natural light cascades, floor-to-ceiling windows and a two-storey arboretum with gardens, fish pond, vaulted glass ceiling and adjoining theatre and music room.

Following cocktails in the spa, adjourn to the sports centre for an afternoon of bowling, indoor tennis and indoor pool with his and hers dressing rooms.

If you do feel like reaching out, there is an eight-car attached garage for guests (listed by Elise Kalles). Although the most expensive listing in town, it isn’t the priciest in the country (see below).
