Tally Ho, a country estate in Clearview, Ontario, has come on the market for C$9,800,000 (~ $6,334,000 USD), listed with Monika Schnarre of Engel & Volkers Toronto City.
Set on 106 acres of rolling land with sweeping views across the Niagara escarpment, the country estate features equestrian facilities and a fully built-out rural compound in one of Canada’s established recreational regions.
Located in Ontario’s South Georgian Bay area, roughly 2 hours north of Toronto, the property sits within a region known for skiing in winter, golf in summer, and access to the freshwater coastline of Georgian Bay. It has long functioned as a countryside escape for city-based buyers, combining seasonal living with large rural estates.
At the center of the property is a 3+1 bedroom, 5-bathroom residence spanning approximately 3,500–5,000 square feet. The house is set within landscaped grounds that extend across the acreage, with a resort-style swimming pool, greenhouse, maintained gardens, and a network of trails. Tennis and basketball courts add to the recreational footprint.
The estate is also set up for equestrian use, with 7-stall stables, a tack room, horse wash station, and automatic water systems, along with a reinforced barn and paddocks.
A separate outbuilding adds further flexibility. The 9-car garage includes a kitchenette, powder room, and additional interior space that can function as a bedroom or office, with approvals already in place for an expansion to 4 additional bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, allowing for guest accommodation or a secondary residence.
Tally Ho is said in the listing materials to date to the 1850s, when it reportedly operated as a stagecoach stop. The exact claim has not been independently confirmed through public land records, but the surrounding area has a documented coaching-era history. Andrew F. Hunter’s 1909 A History of Simcoe County records Jas. D. Stephens, known locally as “Tally-Ho” Stephens, as a prominent Nottawasaga settler who arrived near Glen Huron around 1845 and operated the Green Bush tavern and store on the eighth line at Lot 18. The present estate sits nearby along that historic corridor and has been restored and developed over nearly three decades into its current form.
Nearby amenities include Devil’s Glen Ski Club and Mad River Golf Club, reinforcing the property’s position within a year-round leisure market.
