Homes For Sale in The National Estates

About The National Estates

The National Estates is a golf-course community in Vaughan set around National Golf Club of Canada. Homes here are typically detached houses and townhomes, many with fairway frontage.

Golf-course buyers are buying a lifestyle: morning tee times, generous lots, and a built-in view. Every listing below sits inside the community boundary shown on the map.

The homes of The National Estates

The National Estates is East Woodbridge's prestige enclave wrapped around the National Golf Club of Canada — the 'National Estates Golf Course' of local nickname, streets of custom mansions where backing onto the country's top-ranked private course is the defining lot feature. The homes are large-scale luxury detached on estate lots: 72 Balding Boulevard, marketed as a rare opportunity within the prestigious National Estates enclave, backs directly onto the 6th hole of the National on an exceptional one-acre flat rectangular lot and was listed at $6,498,000 in the fall of 2026. Nearby on Sugarbush Court, another executive property near the esteemed National Golf Club was offered at $7,999,990.

The market here sits just below Pinewood Estates' ultra-prime level but firmly in Vaughan's luxury tier. The defining value driver is the course relationship — which hole, which view corridor, how the lot sits against the fairway — layered over lot size (acre-plus parcels are the prize), privacy buffers and finish quality. Homes here are custom or extensively renovated; there is no standard builder product, and each property is marketed on its singular combination of land and improvements.

Ownership is freehold estate housing. Due diligence mirrors Pinewood Estates: survey-confirmed lot lines, conservation-authority setbacks where lots meet valley lands or the course's water features, major-systems inspection on large complex homes, and a lawyer's review of any easements where the lot abuts the course. The course is the neighbour, not part of the title — confirm that boundary on paper, not just on the listing photos.

Amenities and daily life

The National Golf Club of Canada is the enclave's namesake and landmark — a private, member-owned club on the George Fazio original design (opened 1975, Tom Fazio's subsequent work), 7,235 yards at par 71, consistently ranked Canada's finest private course and known locally as 'The Nash.' For National Estates residents it's the outlook and the address cachet: the club is extremely exclusive with its own membership policies, and residence doesn't include playing privileges.

Daily life runs through East Woodbridge's established luxury corridors — the area's retail, dining and services along the major arterials are minutes away, and the enclave's mature streets have the settled, treed character of Vaughan's older wealth. This is private estate living rather than community-amenity living; the social infrastructure is the city around it.

The buyer profile overlaps Pinewood Estates: established business owners, professionals and multi-generational families buying privacy, presence and the golf-course address. The streets are quiet by design, and the lifestyle is self-directed.

Location and the commute

The National Estates sits in East Woodbridge, Vaughan, around the National Golf Club of Canada at 134 Clubhouse Road — about 30 kilometres northwest of downtown Toronto. Highway 400 is minutes east, with the 407, 427 and 401 network all accessible; Pearson airport is a short drive. It's a well-connected position for the 905 and the airport corridor.

Test the actual commute at rush hour before you buy — the 400 southbound at peak remains the variable, with the 407 toll route as the usual hedge. For hybrid workers and those whose business keeps them in the 905, the location is genuinely convenient; for daily downtown commuters, it's a real but manageable highway run.

The National Estates market snapshot

A micro-market of singular estates — no dataset, no meaningful average. Recent asking context: 72 Balding Boulevard at $6,498,000 (one acre, backing the 6th hole, fall 2026) and a Sugarbush Court executive property at $7,999,990. The pricing logic is course-hole specificity plus land: which hole you back onto, the view corridor, lot dimensions and privacy, then the house.

Have your agent pull comparables from the enclave's own streets and Vaughan's other luxury pockets, matched on lot characteristics first. Days on market run long at this level on both sides of the negotiation — realistic pricing from day one still moves faster, as the broader luxury market keeps demonstrating.

Buying in The National Estates: what to check

Price the specific hole, not just 'the course.' A lot backing onto the 6th hole with a flat, private outlook is a different product from one facing a busy tee complex or a maintenance area — walk the lot at different times of day, including early morning, and stand in the backyard during a Saturday to calibrate. The premium for true frontage is real; make sure the specific frontage earns it.

Then the estate diligence: survey-confirmed lot lines, conservation-authority setbacks near water features and valley lands, tree protections on these mature lots, and a major-systems inspection by someone experienced with large luxury homes. Confirm any easements where the lot meets the course — access, drainage or maintenance rights — with your lawyer.

Finally, separate the address from the club. The National's exclusivity is part of what you're paying for in the address, but membership is the club's decision under its own policies. If playing the home course matters, inquire directly with the club — don't assume the real-estate transaction opens that door.
