9. 4743 Belmont Avenue, Vancouver
Price: $37.7 Million
Few houses can boast such a legacy of achievement, stature, tradition, location, and time. This Belmont Estate is situated on a highly secluded acre in the heart of Vancouver’s most elite neighborhood, and its history is intertwined into the very fabric of its conception. The Estate, which is 21,977 square feet in size, is the result of a partnership between the Owners and the renowned business Ernest Collins Architect Ltd., who was tasked with the project. The Estate’s design and construction took more than five years to complete.
Every material, every placement, and every appointment throughout the property was painstakingly picked and selected to establish the grandeur of the home, as proven by the end outcome. The porte-cochère entryway and stone waterfall are just a few of the details that contribute to the wonderful experience that one might have here. The home’s entrance is flanked by dramatic solid oak cathedral doors, and you find yourself standing still in the magnificent corridor, where light, glass, art, and soaring ceilings triumph above any expectations. You recognize the spectacle that this space provides, which includes a stunning French Ormolu chandelier, a grand piano, and a grand hall that has hosted world-class musicians.
8. 71 The Bridle Path – Toronto
Price: $39.6 Million
Prepare to spend a lot of money if you want to live in one of the country’s most desirable neighborhoods. The Bridle Path, often known as Millionaire’s Row, is famed for its massive multimillion-dollar residences. It was constructed by Valley Mede Residences’ Paul Miklas, who has a lengthy history of work in The Bridle Path, including homes up to 50,000 square feet. This 35,000 square-foot home features a two-story grand salon with hand-forged wrought iron railings, cathedral ballroom, enormous eat-in kitchen, and nine bedrooms with eleven full and three half bathrooms.
A unique library with a quarter-sawn white oak floor, a secret room, paneled walls, and custom built-in cabinets from floor to ceiling is also included. A two-story in-law suite with a separate entrance and elevator is also included in the property. Wendy Berger designed gardens, groomed foliage, water fountains, a heated stone terrace, and a tennis court are among the attractions of the 2-acre property. If you’re a Drake fan, you’ll be happy to learn that this mansion is only 3 minutes away from Drake’s new Toronto residence. There are 36 parking places available, as well as an indoor pool and a cathedral ballroom.
7. 2815 Point Grey Road, Vancouver
Price: $39.9 Million
Jacqui Cohen, the owner of Army & Navy, is said to own this one. The mansion is very private, with a park to the left, a tiny home to the right, and another park beyond. Most errands can be completed on foot in this region because it is Very Walkable. This place is in Vancouver’s Kitsilano area. Volunteer Park, Margaret Pigott Park, and Tatlow Park are all close by. It features five bedrooms, six bathrooms, and a swimming pool with views of English Bay. There is an aquarium, a wine cellar, a pool, and a gym in the mansion as well.
The mansion’s owners used to pay their property taxes by renting it out as a wedding reception ballroom.
6. 1243 Chartwell Place, West Vancouver
Price: $40 Million
This West Vancouver mansion was built in 1985, but in 2017 it underwent a comprehensive and intriguing refurbishment. The 20,000 square foot home which has six bedrooms and eight bathrooms, was originally designed in a West Coast-style on a 2.82-acre double site. Now, the mansion has undergone a complete rebuild in a West Coast Contemporary style. Some of the changes include new designer lighting, enormous marble wall slabs, modern glass fireplaces, state-of-the-art smart control, and a complex a/c and heating system. There are billiards rooms, an indoor pool, a sauna, an office, a media room, and a wine cellar in the main house.
Enormous living areas with a great hall, a cinema room, and a custom gourmet kitchen are included in the 20,000 square foot floor plan. The house is situated on a magnificent site with mature landscaping, a tennis court, a huge terrace, and private creek access.
5. 2190 Camelot Rd, West Vancouver
Price: $41 Million
This home is situated on 5.44 acres of land comprising three legal lots on a sloping slope with spectacular views of the downtown Mainland and Vancouver Island. Only the property and existing house are available for purchase for $25 million. With the addition of a residence, the price will rise to about $41 million. One property is at the bottom, which will connect to the two lots above through Camelot Road. The present house is nice enough, with a tennis court, 11 bedrooms, and 8 bathrooms, as well as a separate playhouse, a horse barn, another tennis court, and hiking trails.
The house’s incredible view of downtown, the Lower Mainland, and Vancouver Island is the cherry on top. If the additional mansion is built, the developer will create a 21,000-square-foot home with a 16-car garage, maid’s quarters, a two-level office, two Infinity Edge pools, and a guesthouse, which, as you can see from the plan, looks rather remarkable.
4. James Island, Gulf Islands, B.C.
Price: $54.4 Million
Sidney Island is located next to James Island. The size of James Island is 315 hectares. Farm family was first established here in the 1870s. James Douglas, Governor of Vancouver Island in 1853, was the name given to the island by the early settlers. Captain Richards of the HMS Plumper gave it its official name in 1858. In the early 1900s, James Island was a private hunting ground for Victoria sportsmen, including then-BC Premier Richard McBride, who served from 1903 to 1915.
On the island, Canadian Explosives Ltd, subsequently known as Canadian Industries Ltd, built a dynamite plant in 1913. The plant employed 800 people at its peak, the majority of whom resided in a tiny settlement on the island. The plant produced 900 tons of TNT per month for the military effort during WWII. The factory was shut down in 1962. The facility and settlement were dismantled and relocated off the island in 1979. Jack Nicklaus designed a golf course, six cottages, a seaplane ramp with a 792.48-meter runway, and a commercial-grade dock that can accommodate large boats. This specific home on this Island is valued at $54.4 million.
3. Chelster Hall – Oakville Ontario
Price: $58 Million
Many realtors consider this huge Jacobean-style countryside mansion to be the most luxurious mansion and most expensive house in the country. This enormous property is close to a residence of famed rapper Drake, and it is rumored to be owned by Ann Kaplan. Chelster Hall is the name given to the house as well. Chelster Hall offers more than enough room to provide comfort to a large family. It has six bedrooms, thirteen bathrooms, and 42 parking places. If you look at this property from the ‘Gold Coast’ of Lake Ontario, it appears to have been erected around the turn of the century. However, the opulent residence was only completed in 2006.
The Chelster Hall has a large lobby with a beautiful wooden spiral staircase. A two-story library is located on the first floor of the structure. A 16-seat table dining area, a chandelier, and an elegant molded fireplace are also included. The Upstairs has five beautiful bedrooms, each with its private en-suite bathroom, big closets, and more. Furthermore, Chelster Hall offers exceptional entertainment options, such as a full movie theatre, a magnificent pool area, a gym, a gorgeous bowling alley in the basement, a tennis court, and much more. Overall, in 2016, the most expensive mansion in Canada had a starting price of $65 million. However, due to real estate imbalances, it has lost $7 million in value over the years being now valued at $58 million.
2. 4707 Belmont Avenue, Vancouver
Price: $65.46 Million
Russell Hollingsworth planned and built this home in 2007. It features a total of ten bedrooms and seventeen bathrooms. The owners are unknown because they are currently hidden under Pisonii (PTC) Ltd, a British Virgin Islands holding company. As you might have noticed, there are a lot of big houses on Belmont Avenue, but nothing compares to what’s at 4707. 4707 is the most expensive home in British Columbia, according to BC Assessment, with a 25,000 square foot mansion on 1.7 acres valued at $65.46 million. A 13,000-square-foot lap pool and a 4,700-square-foot squash court are claimed to be included in the home.
It is estimated that about 45,000 square feet of built space was developed over six years. According to the Vancouver Sun, the estate was constructed and built by renowned architect Russell Hollingsworth for the owner, who is said to be from Ontario. The property’s owner however is unknown!
1. 3085 Point Grey Road, Vancouver
Price: $73.12 Million
Despite losing almost $8 million in value, the large modern waterfront estate owned by Lululemon founder Chip Wilson remains the most valued residential property in British Columbia. According to Global News in 2019, the 16,000 square foot home was valued at $73,120,000. The 16,000-square-foot modern residence, which has 187 feet of oceanfront and views of the North Shore Mountains, was built over many parcels. It is claimed to have seven bedrooms and nine bathrooms. In 2014, a part of Point Grey Road between MacDonald Street and Alma Street was closed indefinitely to make room for a contentious bike lane that some critics dubbed a “park for the rich.” Chip Wilson’s sprawling mansion is located on a portion of that particular road.
