VICTORIA -- With BC Assessment releasing Vancouver Island's 2020 property assessments Thursday, the organization has also compiled a list of the 100 most expensive homes in the region.<\/p>\n
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the District of Oak Bay is home to many of the priciest properties on the island. However, a number of private islands just off Vancouver Island are also at the top of the list.<\/p>\n
The most expensive single-family residence on Vancouver Island, which is also the second-most expensive property in the region overall, is located in Oak Bay at 3160 Humber Rd. According to real estate website Redfin, the 11,291-square-foot house has five bedrooms, six bathrooms and was originally constructed in 1996.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the most expensive property in the region is not a single home itself, but an entire island.<\/p>\n
James Island, located just east of North Saanich, is considered the most expensive property in the region this year, and is assessed at roughly $57,747,000.<\/p>\n
Last year, the private island was considered the third-most expensive property across B.C., just behind two single-family residences in Vancouver.<\/p>\n
The 100th most expensive property on Vancouver Island can be found in North Saanich. The waterfront home, located at 9088 Ardmore Dr., is assessed at $5,571,000.<\/p>\n
The top 10 most expensive properties in the Vancouver Island region, according to BC Assessment, are:<\/p>\n
