What this massive brand-new West Vancouver home offers for $25 million

A new home in West Vancouver was recently listed for sale, and for a whopping nearly $25 million, we thought we’d look inside to see why it’s so expensive.

Homes in West Vancouver are typically quite a bit more expensive than homes in other parts of Metro Vancouver. They offer more space, and there’s generally more in the way of high-end luxury property in the North Shore city.

The home we’re focusing on, located at 835 Farmleigh Rd., features seven bedrooms, 10 bathrooms and 13,003 sq. ft. of living space on a massive lot of 28,314 sq. ft.

Those specs are merely the tip of the iceberg.

835 Farmleigh Rd. is located in the British Properties, a notable area for luxury homes in Metro Vancouver.

The home is listed for $24,880,000. The most recent assessed value for the property is $7,929,000. However, that assessment is dated July 1, 2024. The land value was most recently assessed at $4,930,000. We’ll have to wait until next year’s assessment to see how BC Assessment values the house.

Pictures of the home showcase some epic views, luxurious interiors and decor, and well-crafted and landscaped exteriors. They also highlight some breathtaking views available from various areas of the house.

Luxmore Realty says the home is a .65-acre gated estate. It adds that there are entertainment-sized family and dining rooms, a gourmet kitchen and a wok kitchen.

Speaking of kitchens, if you live in a standard Vancouver apartment, the size and space of the kitchen in the West Vancouver home might make you jealous.

Many outdoor seating areas highlight the epic views that are available.

The listing says the home offers a gym, a wine bar and an entertainment area beside an enclosed indoor pool. There’s also a sauna, a turbo spa, a home theatre, an elevator, and a heated driveway!

The backyard also has a gazebo and an inner courtyard with water fountains. The indoor pool may make a few people jealous as well.

This bar area is next to the entertainment room, which feels like a mix of retro and modern aesthetics.

A 20 per cent down payment for this home would run you nearly $5 million. That deposit on a five-year fixed mortgage would run you roughly $110,000 a month in payments.
