Don’t have $63 million? That’s what it takes to buy Canada’s most expensive listing

Canada's most expensive real estate listing is right here in Vancouver

Need more proof that the city’s housing market is red hot?

According to a recent report from www.point2homes.com, four of the country’s top 10 priciest real estate listings, including the number-one most expensive home for sale in Canada, are in Vancouver.

  • In at No. 8 is 4838 Belmont Ave. Listed at $28 million, this 8,100-square-foot property in Point Grey, on 35,500 square feet of land, has five bedrooms and seven-and-a-half bathrooms.

  • Listed at $29.8 million, Gables Estate at 2106 SW Marine Drive takes the No. 7 spot on the list. This home boasts six bedrooms and eight bathrooms, as well as its own private park, two golf courses and an infinity pool. The 10,000-square-foot Tudor-style mansion stands on 4.25 acres of well-manicured land. Take heart — when the Courier wrote a story about this house in January, it was listed for $38 million.

Listed with Sotheby’s International Realty Canada, the 21,977-square-foot mansion sits on 1.28 acres and is the family home of Canadian philanthropists Joseph and Rosalie Segal.

By the way, the Segals’ home is by no means the highest-assessed property in Vancouver — that honour goes to Chip Wilson’s $75.8 million home nearby on Point Grey Road, while the Segals’ neighbour at 4707 Belmont Avenue has the second-highest assessment in the province at $69.2 million.

Rounding out the list are a 10-bedroom mansion in Toronto’s Bridle Path, a Calgary post-and-beam, a seaside West Vancouver home, two houses in Surrey, including a 9,000 sq.ft. house for those seeking “an extravagant lifestyle” and a home in North Vancouver.
