CLASSIC LAKEFRONT 5-STAR ESTATE WITH ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES. A main house, pool house, playhouse, tennis court and pool all overlook the lake on a secluded, private, cedar- lined compound. Encompassing nearly 3 acres, the property stretches from its commanding bluff-top setting down the manicured bluff to the beach, creating a level of privacy, prestige, and land ownership seldom found within town limits. This exclusive estate offers breathtaking panoramic views to the south, west, and north, overlooking the only deep water port on Lake Huron. Watch freighters, ships and tugboats navigate the harbour below while taking in some of the most captivating waterfront views on Ontario's west coast. The main house features 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, refinished original hardwood floors, windows on every side of the home, vaulted ceilings with wooden beams, and a massive stone fireplace. The 2-storey winterized pool house(1525.24 Sq ft.) runs along the length of the pool and beyond, with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms on each level. Upstairs offers a kitchenette and sitting room with spectacular views of the pool, lake, and harbour, perfect for housing property staff, business associates, extended family, or friends. The pool is a rare "old Hollywood style" concrete pool, an impressive 20 feet wide by 40 feet long. This resort-like private lakeside compound is the ultimate play destination. From Toronto, enjoy a scenic 2.5-hour drive via Highway 8 leading right to the gate. From Detroit, the property is 3 hours north. Goderich Airport is just minutes away, offering access for private jets. Nearby: a marina, shops, restaurants, a hospital, Stratford theatre, golf, and wineries. Sprawling across premium waterfront acreage, this compound features a unique dual-residence layout designed for grand-scale hosting while maintaining absolute privacy. The only one of its kind- a unique property with the best, unobstructed lake and harbour view. Shown by appointment to qualified buyers only.

How the rating is calculated

EQAO — Ontario’s testing agency — publishes, for each school, the percentage of students meeting the provincial standard in Grade 3 and Grade 6 reading, writing and mathematics. The rating is the average of those percentages divided by ten. A school where 72% of students met the standard rates 7.2 out of 10.

Nothing is weighted or adjusted, and schools are not ranked against each other. Where EQAO withholds a result to protect the privacy of a small group of students, that measure is left out rather than counted as zero — so a rating built on fewer than six measures says so.

What it does not measure. It is one year of standardised testing in three subjects. It says nothing about teaching, programs, or whether a school suits a particular child, and it tracks neighbourhood household income closely enough that it partly measures the neighbourhood rather than the school. Treat it as one figure among many.

How this is calculated, and what it leaves out

Canadian fixed-rate mortgages compound semi-annually, not monthly, so the monthly rate here is (1 + rate/2)1/6 − 1. Most calculators use rate ÷ 12, which is the American convention and overstates the payment by tens of dollars a month.

Below 20% down, default insurance is mandatory and is added to the loan rather than paid at closing: 2.80% at 85% loan-to-value, 3.10% at 90%, 4.00% at 95%. It is unavailable at or above $1.5M, which is why 20% is a hard floor there.

Not included: vacancy, property management, capital repairs, income tax, and the fact that a lender qualifies you at a stress-test rate rather than the one you are quoted. This is arithmetic on the numbers above, not a mortgage approval or an opinion of what you can afford.
