For Sale: 5 Canadian Homes With Epic Olympic-Style Amenities

By Josh Sherman | 3 minute read

In a matter of days, the Winter Olympics are set to touch down in Milan — but you don’t need to book a 10-hour flight to Italy to get into the spirit of the games. 

Canada has hosted the games three times, leaving behind some world-class amenities, such as the Olympic parks in Calgary and Whistler, or Vancouver’s Olympic Village. Some Canadians have even been inspired to install their own Olympic-level amenities right at home.

Before the start of the Olympic Opening Ceremony, we’ve scanned the Wahi listings to find five Olympic-worthy homes for sale right now. Check them out below. 

1. 4701 Piccadilly S. Rd., West Vancouver, British Columbia

List price: $6,398,000

Embrace your inner Olympian in west-coast style. The contemporary, 8,000-plus-square-foot home at 1701 Piccadilly is set into a hillside and overlooks the Pacific Ocean. In addition to providing sweeping oceanic vistas, the nine-bedroom totally custom dwelling features its own personal fitness centre, including a Michael Phelps Signature Swim Spa by Master Spas. The Olympian-endorsed amenity is intended for low-level resistance training, water therapy, or simply relaxing.  

2. 13210 McCreight Rd., Lake Country, B.C. 

List price: $10,900,000

Golf hasn’t had the tightest relationship with the Olympics. After appearing as a sport in both the 1900 and 1904 summer games, it didn’t return until the 21st century, when it reemerged at the 2016 Summer Olympics, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Since then, however, it has appeared in three consecutive Olympics and will be part of this year’s games, too. So this beautiful B.C. mansion is a fitting choice for our roundup on more than one count. Not only does it have a pool and gym, it also has a manicured putting green just off the home office.

3. 97 Carmichael Cres, King, Ontario

List price: $4,688,000

Boasting approximately 10,000 square feet of living space, this home was part of the grand prize for the 2017 Princess Margaret lottery (the winners also claimed a $700,000 waterfront cottage in Muskoka and $500,000 cash). The home’s Olympic appeal comes in the form of the basement, which comes complete with a gym and synthetic ice rink with hockey boarding, a player’s bunch, and stick storage — an ideal venue for reenacting Canada’s last Olympic gold medal run (Sochi, 2014).

4. 107 Maple Lane, the Blue Mountains, Ontario

List price: $4,995,000

Hit the slopes without leaving the neighbourhood. It’s possible with this roughly 5,000-square-foot all-season retreat nestled among mature maples and pines. The home is perched on 10 acres of prime land in the Blue Mountains, one of Ontario’s premier ski destinations. As a bonus, the property includes a custom saltwater pool and pool house.

5. Unit 4804, 10360 102 St. NW, Edmonton, Alberta

List price: $1,910,000

The ICE District is a massive new mixed-use development currently under construction in Edmonton. With a focus on athletics — the district centres around the Edmonton Oilers’ NHL arena — the community is a big draw for sports fans. The Legends Private Residences is one of the newest luxury developments in the area, and Unit 4808 impresses with upscale finishes, hard-to-beat views, and proximity to world-class sporting amenities.
