By Josh Sherman | 4 minute read

Who needs a private beach when you have a pool like this home’s at 2604 Bellevue Ave., in West Vancouver (the home also has a private beach, for the record). 

Summer’s here, and that means it’s pool season in Canada. A wave of demand for homes with pools was cresting during the pandemic as homebuyers sought private outdoor space and entertainment during lockdowns, but the amenity continues to prove popular post-COVID. For those who love to swim or just relax by the water, we’ve searched the Wahi listings to find 10 homes across the country with perfect pools. Check them out below.

1. 12511 Grand View Drive NW, Edmonton, Alberta

List price: $3,350,000

The pool: Edmonton’s harsh winters can seriously limit time spent by the poolside — unless you’ve got an indoor pool, like this modernist dwelling in Edmonton’s Grandview Heights neighbourhood.

Stone and wood finishes complement the home’s exterior and give the poolside space an earthy feel. During the warmer months, slide open large glass doors to bring the outdoors inside. With the doors open, the indoor pool becomes an extension of the tastefully landscaped backyard. You might be able to convince the owners to throw in a couple of alligator floaties, too.

2. 145 Silverado Crest Landing SW, Calgary, Alberta

List price: $2,000,000

The pool: Described in the listing as an “oasis,” this home’s backyard doesn’t cut any corners when it comes to fun and relaxation. The pool has multiple waterfalls and an all-ages waterslide so you can embrace your inner child. A hot tub and custom-built fire pit are suited for use year round, and a shaded entertaining area means you don’t have to cancel plans just because the forecast calls for rain.

3. 2604 Bellevue Ave., West Vancouver, B.C.

List price: $12,998,000

The pool: It’s tough to beat the views from this oceanfront West Vancouver mansion, near Dundarave Park and its sandy shores. There’s no need to sun tan with the masses, though; this craftsman-style dwelling has its own private beach access and is like a cottage in the city. Plus, the seaside backyard features a resort-style patio. Forget your troubles, lay back, and enjoy the breeze.

4. 112 Sunset Boulevard, Vernon, B.C.

List price: $4,199,000
The pool: Overlooking Beachcomber Bay, this pool is lit — literally. It fronts a striking landscaped light feature that casts a cool blue glow on the stunning property. The super-sized 6,381-square-foot monster home has all the other poolside amenities you’d expect to find to come with a $4 million sticker price, including a fire pit, hot tub, entertaining areas and cabanas. As an added bonus, there’s an outdoor bathroom so you and your guests won’t have to traipse indoors with wet feet when nature calls.

5. 5454 Kingsview Rd., Vernon, B.C.

List price: $2,680,000

The pool: Perched on a hillside, this Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired home’s pool provides sparkling vistas of Okanagan Lake. Take it all in from the second-floor terrace before heading downstairs to the lower-level walkout, which has a Zen meditation space, art studio, fireplace, and summer kitchen. Outside, a natural-rock staircase leads up to an outdoor shower and hot tub. Take advantage of the amenities after shooting some hoops in the pool or just lazing about in serene comfort under the cabana.

6. 27 Elm Ridge Acres Rd., Markham, Ontario

List price: $9,999,000
The pool: This home, located in the desirable community of Thornhill, backs onto a tranquil ravine. But it’s the backyard pool that’s the show-stopper in terms of water features. Conveniently, the ’s located right near the outdoor tennis court for post-match dips. This home affords its owners a rare opportunity to live in this type of natural wooded setting just north of Hogtown. The expansive poolside deck is a great place to post up and listen to your favourite playlist on the outdoor Sonos sound system.

7. 94 Cumberland Dr., Mississauga, Ontario

List price: $7,580,000

The pool: Own a piece of Lake Ontario at this waterfront estate in Mississauga. This sprawling Port Credit lot extends 300 feet into the lake.

While the lakefront access is convenient for boating, Lake Ontario is notoriously cold due to its depth. Not to worry, though — the home has a sizable pool and hot tub set right up against the world’s 13th-largest lake. There are multiple patios, including one that’s been set up with a grill, so whoever owns this home is sure to be popular come barbecue season. 

8. 500 Wellington St., Penthouse 1001, Toronto, Ontario

List price: $14,800,000

The pool: It’s certainly not the norm, but sometimes condo units come with their very own private pools, as is the case here. Crowning Five Hundred Wellington Lofts, a boutique building with just 17 suites in the heart of downtown Toronto, this three-bedroom penthouse has a sprawling 2,000-square-foot private terrace complete with a glass-sided pool, hot tub, and outdoor kitchen for epic rooftop parties. No need to book a condo party room to have a good time here!

9. 7 Ashley Park Rd., Toronto, Ontario

List price: $9,995,000
The pool: Nestled in the Humber Valley neighbourhood, this custom build was designed with summer days in mind. The large pool is hard to ignore. It’s the centrepiece of the backyard and visible from every room at the rear of the house thanks to massive floor-to-ceiling windows.

While the City of Toronto no longer allows pools on ravine lots, this home was already built before the regulation came into effect, so it’s exempt. That’s also sure to add value — and appeal — for the right buyer.

10. 186 Pine Valley Cres., Vaughan, Ontario

List price: $15,000,000
The pool: You won’t feel like you’re in Vaughan — you’ll feel like you’re at an all-inclusive resort in this home’s backyard. Lots of loungers surround a heated saltwater pool for soaking up the sun after a few laps. The outdoor entertaining area is set up for al fresco dining, and an adjoining cabana — which boasts 14-foot ceilings — provides a reprieve from the UV rays.
