One of a kind wrap around waterfront property with spectacular views to Anvil, Gambier, Keats, Bowyer and Bowen Islands. Feels like being on a “yacht at sea” surrounded by majestic marine life. Interior features 3 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms on 2 levels of luxurious living space and captivating views from every room. Outdoor features include an ocean-side pool, commercial grade seawall with 2 beach accesses. Nothing compares to this extraordinary residence that is situated on a 12,100 sqft level lot at the end of a very quiet cul-de-sac. Must be seen to be truly appreciated.

This 7 year custom built house in prestigious UBC area give you view of water, mountain & city. 7876 SF living area on 30545 SF of beautifully landscaped with outdoor pool. It offers elegant LR & DR, spacious family room & a nice wok kitchen on main. Upper level, 3 nice sized bedrooms plus a huge living room (can be 4th bedroom). Basement: spacious recreation & media room, wine cellar. A must see!
They increase the price by roughly $15 million over what they paid for it then are likely surprised that they have to lower the price by $8 million. That fake gold mansion listing that dropped close to $30 million may never lost it’s title but almost guaranteed this one will get into the $15 million drop club
