Canada is home to some of the most amazing houses in the World are here we showcase 10 of the most expensive with many in and around the Vancouver area. Like many economies around the world, the Canadian housing market suffered in the past five years. The prices and volume of real estate prices declined in Toronto and Vancouver by considerable amounts. However, homes on the high end of the market retain their impressive price tags and here are 10 examples of these:
2190 Camelot Rd, West Vancouver
$39.9 million
This house sits on 5.44 acres of land made up of 3 legal lots along a sloping hill with amazing views over downtown Mainland and Vancouver Island. You can actually buy only the land and existing house and that will cost $25 million. The price will go up to almost $40 million with the construction of a mansion. There is one lot at the bottom and this will connect to the two lots above through Camelot Road. Up to three buildings can be built on the estate. The existing house is not bad itself, as it already features a tennis court, 11 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms with a separate dollhouse, horse barn, tennis court and hiking trails.
The icing on the cake is the house’s amazing view as it overlooks downtown, the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island. If the mansion construction is included, the developer undertakes to build a house measuring 21,000 square feet with 16-car garage, maid’s quarters, two-level office, two Infiniti Edge pools and guesthouse which as you can see from this plan looks pretty special:
