Location: West Vancouver, Canada
Price: C$23.8 million (About US$18.3 million) This contemporary, post-and-beam house was constructed in 2008. It was designed and built by the owner, Alex Lepik, who is the owner of Lepik Construction. The home sits on a 0.725-acre lot facing the city's western coast. The three-level home has five bedrooms, four full bathrooms and three partial bathrooms. The elevator stops at all three floors, in addition to the basement level. The property includes more than 4,600 square feet of terraces. The house has geothermal heating. The front yard has an 8,000-gallon koi pond. There are two sets of swimming pools and hot tubs; one set is indoors and the other is outdoors. Perhaps the biggest draw for the listing is the yacht garage on the ground level. "This facility is the only one like it in North America," said listing agent Eric Latta of Sotheby's International Realty Canada. "You can steer the boat right into the garage, take the elevator upstairs and go into the house." Agent: Eric Latta of Sotheby's International Realty Canada View the full listing.
