The Haven: Exceptional Style and Panoramic Views on the Shores of Lake Ontario
Wake up to stunning lake views from The Haven at 140 Secord Lane , a 5-bedroom, 9-bath waterfront estate set on nearly an acre within the prestigious Shoreacres neighborhood of Burlington, Ontario, and represented by The Agency’s Christina Clavero , Managing Director of the CB Group. Featuring resort-style comfort, this elegant property offers 103 feet of coveted shoreline with direct lake access, riparian rights, and more than 11,000 square feet of living space.
Designed by David Small Designs and built by Rock Cliff Custom Homes in 2019, this estate showcases contemporary craftsman style, punctuated with modern coastal interior elements. With thoughtful use of the entire lot, the home takes center stage, presiding over meticulous landscaping, custom stone patios, a pristine, heated infinity pool, and a full-size tennis court. Ensuring comfort through all the seasons, the home also features radiant heated floors and a heated driveway for when the snow falls.
Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the great room with natural light, framing the water views. The space is anchored by a dramatic two-level stone fireplace, with 22-foot ceilings that make it feel like a lakefront resort. A private office is set apart from the main living areas, with 18-foot beamed ceilings and a stone feature wall to inspire calm and focus.
Inside the immense kitchen, a large quartz island takes center stage with seating for five, surrounded by Sub-Zero, Miele, and Wolf appliances, and custom white cabinetry with brushed chrome hardware. Seamlessly connected to the great room and the large dining room, the kitchen is also filled with natural light and sets the stage for effortless entertaining.
Three terraces with panoramic views extend this living space, providing endless options for indoor-outdoor entertaining. A full outdoor kitchen complete with a built-in BBQ, fridge, and bar sink is perfect for summer afternoons—while a heated, screened-in porch provides versatility for cooler evenings.
On the second level, a lofted seating area surrounded by glass panels allows for unobstructed, elevated lake views. The primary suite stuns with panoramic vistas in the main bedroom. The expansive ensuite bathroom—which features a double vanity, steam shower, and glimpses of the forest from the soaking tub—leads to a custom, clear glass dressing room with center island. Down the hall are four comfortable and quiet bedrooms, each with its own ensuite bathroom.
For the sophisticated host or hostess, the entertaining amenities in this home are unmatched, especially on the walk-out lower level. The open-concept space includes a full lounge and bar, 700+ bottle climate-controlled wine cellar, indoor golf simulator, spacious sauna, and tiered private theatre. Panoramic, sliding glass doors provide seamless access to the expansive stone patios, infinity pool, and hot tub just outside.
Picture yourself by the water, relaxing by the fire pit after an evening kayak. Or playing tennis with friends and family followed by a dip in the pool. In the winter months, warming up in the sauna and then cozying up by a crackling fire while the snow falls outside. The opportunities for recreation and relaxation are endless year-round, all within the sanctuary-like privacy of the grounds.
The Haven is a multi-faceted estate, offering respite in nature for the privacy-seeker, a spacious playground for a large family, or an entertainment hub for the reveler. Just minutes to downtown Burlington and a short drive to Toronto and Niagara, this is sumptuous lakeside-living, with all the amenities of your own private retreat.
