CHATEAU DU PINE, SHAUGHNESSY

VANCOUVER, CANADA

As this six-bedroom mansion was built in 2016, the home comes with many of the modern conveniences that are now the norm for a luxury residence. Not only does it have a home cinema, but this comes with a curved projection screen for a fully immersive viewing experience. There are nine wine and beverage fridges for the five wet bars around the house, and there’s a lift and integrated security system. The self-cleaning heated swimming pool is complemented by a Jacuzzi.

Among the more traditional amenities found in this 12,619sqft house are a billiards room and library. The rooms on the first and second floor lead to terraces, while rooms on the ground floor open onto private gardens. Even traditional features involve new technology, such as the climate-controlled 700-bottle wine cellar.

WOW FACTOR:

This is more than a private residence, it’s a statement. If the imposing three-storey house doesn’t grab your attention from the outside, then there’s plenty on the inside that ought to, starting with the two-storey entrance hall with sweeping staircase, and the doubleheight formal reception room with giant chandelier. Coffered ceilings, panelled walls and decorative mouldings throughout the house add to the grandeur.
