According to Zealty, a stunning beachside Vancouver home was recently sold for a staggering $44 million, $4 million under the asking price.
Located at 1450 Blanca Street, the Vancouver home is one of BC Assessment’s top-valued properties, coming in at number nine at $38,044,000. It sold on June 24.
If the assessed value were as high as the final sale price, it would be BC’s fourth-most expensive property.
Here’s what the new homeowner is getting in this prestigious Vancouver home that the listing calls one of Vancouver’s most iconic.

It is indeed private. Thanks to a fortress of greenery, peeking at the home through Google Maps would be nearly impossible.

If you’re paying $44 million for a home, you’d probably expect a swimming pool, and the Vancouver property does not disappoint.

Other luxury items include three outdoor fireplaces, a wine cellar, and ponds with waterfalls. It also has a four-car garage and “magical coastal views.”
The listing says the Vancouver mansion has never been on the market. BC Assessment pegs the land value at $20,631,000, with the buildings worth $17,413,000. This is a stark increase compared to 2015, when the home was assessed at $16,393,000.
The listing generated much conversation when it first went up.
