"The design collaboration between Minto Communities and Minto's Karen van der Velden and Tanner Vine Interiors created the Oasis – a contemporary sanctuary inspired by the Belgian model farmhouse style," says the Dream of a Lifetime Lottery website. "There are spaces for the whole family to gather as well as options to enjoy private moments."
The home also includes an indoor golf simulator and a wellness spa, which includes a sauna, steam shower and a cold plunge.
"What we wanted to do here is really bring nature to the inside and have the feeling of calmness when we're like surrounded by nature," Vine said.
