Vancouver

Design-led living shaped by light, views, and privacy. From an entire-floor Dundarave residence reimagined with the finest finishes to a rare Belcarra dual-lot estate with a private dock, each home draws its identity from the water’s edge. In Vancouver, a custom, garden-facing architectural showpiece and a craftsman-built Quilchena family home balance serenity with practicality, while Coal Harbour delivers front-row harbour theatre and resort-style amenities.

Across Vancouver Island and the Vancouver waterfront, this quintet shows how place shapes possibility. In Cowichan and Cobble Hill, expansive, wooded acreage comes with early signs of readiness—approved access, hydro to lot, wells, and even initial foundation work—paired with zoning and subdivision potential worth a closer look. A sun-warmed, south-facing parcel adds ponds, a seasonal stream, and a water license for small-farm ambitions. In Kitsilano, proximity becomes the luxury, while French Creek offers a renovated, single-level retreat between Parksville and Qualicum Beach.

Across the Pacific Northwest, this trio underscores how location shapes long-term value. In Ridgefield, Washington, a 3.4-acre, General Commercial site leverages 125 feet of Delfel Road frontage and clear visibility from I‑5 near the 179th Street interchange, with potential for adaptive reuse of the existing home. Across the border in Victoria, British Columbia, two sold residences reflect enduring demand in Victoria West and Fernwood, where proximity to amenities, walkable streets, and flexible living arrangements support lasting appeal.

In Saanich, this trio of sold homes captures a local preference for ease, light, and layouts that adapt to changing routines. Updated interiors—refreshed kitchens and baths, new flooring, and stainless appliances—set a move-in-ready baseline across varied footprints. From a top-floor corner residence with skylights, a finished sunroom, and robust 55+ amenities, to an end-unit townhome with a den, dual-level bedrooms, and a fenced patio backing onto parkland, the collection concludes with a four-bedroom detached home on a quiet cul-de-sac.

privacy measured in acres, architecture built to host, and landscapes that feel destination-grade. This quintet spans the province’s defining settings—from Whistler’s mountain panorama to the Salish Sea’s low-bank shoreline, the Great Bear Rainforest’s Pacific edge, and the Okanagan’s rare level sandy beach. Even inland, Vernon’s equestrian acreage keeps the same resort-minded spirit, pairing bold design with world-class facilities.

British Columbia’s most coveted shorelines set the tone for this quintet of trophy estates, where water is not an amenity but the defining view, frontage, and daily rhythm. From a gated Whitworth Road retreat in West Kelowna to a 7.5-acre Lakeshore Road holding with 153 feet of frontage, Okanagan life leans private and expansive. On Vancouver Island, Oak Bay and Ten Mile Point elevate the experience with hilltop and ocean panoramas, landscaped seclusion, and room programs built for effortless entertaining and flexibility.

Across British Columbia, this quintet of ultra-luxury residences is unified by a devotion to outlook, privacy, and the rituals of indoor–outdoor living. In the Okanagan, two modern homes frame Okanagan Lake from poolside terraces and nearly every room, balancing architectural clarity with everyday ease. Whistler contributes a compound-style retreat, pairing a main residence with a two-bedroom carriage house on a lofty WedgeWoods site. Rounding out the set, a West Vancouver penthouse crowns Waterford House with wraparound patios and true single-level exclusivity.

Across British Columbia’s most coveted waterfront and view-side enclaves, this quintet of desirable homes highlights a shared devotion to privacy, landscape, and thoughtful design. In Kelowna, two distinct estates capture Okanagan life—from a tranquil lakeshore and creekside retreat to a gated property with a hobby vineyard, pool, and carriage house overlooking lake and city. On the coast, West Vancouver offers a rare fairway-side holding on Capilano’s 13th. Farther south, Central Saanich and Ten Mile Point quintet panoramic ocean outlooks with seamless indoor-outdoor living and carefully renewed character.
