15 Aug $7.995 Million Country Manor Estate in Gibsons

British Columbia’s Sunshine Coast region has seen tremendous growth in its luxury real estate market over the past few years, for a variety of reasons: its close proximity to Vancouver, its unspoiled wilderness, and its enviable ocean and mountain views. Perhaps no home better exemplifies this growing trend than this country manor estate in Gibsons, which is currently on sale for $7,995,000.

Located at 1393 Port Mellon Highway, this English Manor-style home sprawls across 53 acres of property and encompasses a jaw-dropping 22,319 square feet of living space. Given that the luxury real estate markets in both Vancouver and Victoria are composed primarily of far smaller lots than this, one could be forgiven for forgetting that massive estates like this even exist in British Columbia. With 12 bedrooms, 12 bathrooms and 2 half-bathrooms, finding enough space to host family, friends, and out-of-town business partners should never be a problem here. Given its immaculately detailed finishes including a granite exterior, marble flooring, and slate tile roof, it’s little wonder that this exquisite property took 6 years to build (finishing in 2005). Added amenities include – and we warn you now that this list is quite long – a swimming pool, hot tub, steam room, billiards room, private gym, library, chapel, wine cellar, geothermal heating, and 22-seat dining room. The sprawling grounds, for their part, include a 1 acre pond, rose gardens, perennial gardens, bowling lawns, lush fields, and walking trails. In terms of views, this estate overlooks Howe Sound and includes a great view of Bowen Island and other nearby geographical landmarks.
