A two-storey, six-bedroom home on four acres of land is the most expensive property ever sold in Manotick.

Marilyn Wilson Dream Properties says the home on Earlscourt Crescent sold in February for $4.220 million, the highest-ever residential property sold in the south Ottawa neighbourhood.

The home, known as "The Estate", features a five-car garage, fitness room, home theatre, six bedrooms and an outdoor pool.

"Designed by Andre Godin, this home is simply spectacular! Elegance and fabulous living at the heart of this spectacular chateau-inspired stone manor, set on four manicured acres," the listing on Marilyn Wilson Dream Properties said.

"Two stone pillars herald the arrival to the property, which has been impressively landscaped to include three covered terraces, a stunning saltwater pool, an expansive irrigation system and completely private treed views."
