Toronto mansion from Schitt's Creek for sale at $21.8 million

Before falling on hard times and moving to Schitt's Creek, the Roses lived in the lap of luxury.

The mega-mansion featured on the hit show is for sale in real life for $21,888,000. It was listed for sale for less in April at $19,880,000 before the owner took the listing off the market. Property taxes will set the buyer back $62,000 a year.

It's located in Toronto's swanky St Andrew-Windfields neighbourhood.

The cheaper list price on this piece of Canadian TV history from April might be considered a 'steal', as long as one is among the ultra-rich, of course.

It is listed exclusively by Daniel Milstein and Aaron Kirman of the Aaron Kirman Group of Compass, Beverly Hills and Khoren Mardoyan of Homelife Vision in Toronto. Scroll through for a peek inside

La Belle Maison is a massive 24,000 square foot building with three storeys, and sits on half an acre. No wonder the rundown Rosebud motel just wasn't cutting it.

There's plenty of room for guests, or if you pool together your money with a dozen or more of your best friends to buy it. It has 12 bedrooms and 16 bathrooms.

Balconies and frescoes were inspired by the Sistine Chapel. Stained-glass skylights light up the foyer clad with marble.

A dip in the outdoor pool on a nice day awaits. No problem if the weather doesn't cooperate, because there's an indoor pool too.

When the pandemic is finally over, there's a banquet room for when it's time to party.

There's a wine cellar, massage room, as well as a media theatre to watch, what else, but Schitt's Creek reruns.

There's more of that Sistine Chapel-inspired artwork on the dining room ceiling if one gets tired of watching guests chew across the table.
