Waterfront homes in nearby Point Grey sell for upwards of $10 million, making this floating gem on Granville Island a relative bargain

The living area has 15-foot ceilings and a view of Vancouver’s False Creek

“Floating homes have always been in high demand because they offer a unique waterfront lifestyle connecting with wildlife, as well as a sense of community not found in condos and houses,” says John Anderson, one of the listing agents. “There are only a few floating home marinas in Vancouver and owners tend to fall in love with the lifestyle and don’t sell until decades later.”

The home was built in 1976, three years before the Sea Village community moved to Granville Island from nearby Coal Harbour in 1979. Formerly an industrial area, the 38-acre Granville Island is now an exclusive shopping district and cultural hub that attracts millions of visitors each year.The patio, unsurprisingly, has a water view:

BC Hydro and the City of Vancouver provide power and water. Being a B.C. resident is a requirement for purchasing one of the 14 homes in Sea Village, and owners aren’t permitted to lease out any of the properties. The $1,287 monthly fees go to the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation , which manages Granville Island.
