Inside a $12.75M Anmore Estate: A Private Pool, Dream Wine Cellar and an 8-Car Garage!
Some homes have a great kitchen. Some have a beautiful backyard. And then there's this one, which apparently decided that having just one or two standout features simply wasn't enough.
Welcome to 1450 Crystal Creek Drive in Anmore, an extraordinary luxury estate offering 10,524 sq. ft. of living space on approximately one private acre. With 5 bedrooms, 10 bathrooms and an incredible collection of lifestyle amenities, this property takes entertaining and everyday living to another level.
And I haven't even shown you the wine cellar yet.
A Grand Entrance and Beautifully Designed Living Spaces
The moment you enter, you're greeted by an impressive foyer with soaring ceilings, solid wood doors, statement chandeliers and beautiful white oak flooring throughout.
The open-concept great room is designed to take advantage of the surrounding views, with expansive windows, custom wood detailing, a striking stone feature wall and an electric fireplace. There's also a wet bar conveniently positioned within the living space.
What I particularly appreciate is how the home balances its grand scale with warmth. The oak finishes, architectural details and natural materials give it a distinctive West Coast feel without making the interiors feel cold or overly formal.
The Kitchen Deserves Its Own Tour
If you love cooking, entertaining or simply having an impressive kitchen, you're going to appreciate this one.
The main gourmet kitchen features an oversized island, extensive custom cabinetry, Wolf gas appliances, Sub-Zero refrigeration, a steam convection oven and a built-in cappuccino machine.
There's even a temperature-controlled herb-growing system built into the cabinetry. Fresh basil whenever you need it? Now that's a kitchen detail I can get behind.
But there's more. A dedicated butler station and separate spice kitchen provide additional preparation space, making it easy to entertain without having everything happening in one room.
And because apparently one kitchen wasn't enough, this estate offers four kitchen areas throughout the property.
Indoor-Outdoor Living, Done Properly
The entertaining space continues outside, where oversized accordion doors connect the kitchen and dining areas to a beautifully designed covered outdoor kitchen.
We're talking a pizza oven, built-in barbecue, gas burners, beverage refrigeration, ice maker, fireplace and overhead heaters.
The covered space can be enclosed with glass panels, allowing you to enjoy the outdoors even when the weather isn't cooperating. Because let's be realistic, this is British Columbia.
It's an incredibly practical way to enjoy the surrounding scenery throughout the year.
A Main-Floor Primary Suite
One of my favourite design decisions is having the primary bedroom on the main floor, in its own private wing.
The bedroom opens onto a balcony overlooking the surrounding greenery and pool, with space for a private hot tub and a quiet seating area.
The ensuite has a spa-inspired feel, with dual vanities, beautiful stone finishes, heated flooring and an impressive shower. There's also generous dressing space and the added convenience of private laundry facilities.
It's a wonderful setup for someone who appreciates privacy and convenience without having to navigate multiple levels of the home.
More Than Just Bedrooms
Upstairs, you'll find additional bedrooms and guest accommodation, several with their own bathrooms and outdoor terraces.
There's also a substantial home office with custom workstations, extensive built-in shelving, a private balcony and its own bathroom. It's particularly interesting for someone who works from home or runs a business and wants a dedicated workspace.
And for families, there's even a creative children's fort tucked into the upper-level office area.
The home also features a dedicated craft and laundry room, complete with extensive cabinetry, work surfaces and storage.
The Ultimate Entertainment Level
The lower level is where this home really becomes an entertainer's playground.
There's a large recreation room, sports lounge, multiple TVs, a pool table, a second kitchen and bar area, a private gym and a steam shower.
But let's talk about my favourite feature: the wine room.
This isn't just a wine fridge tucked into a kitchen. It's a dedicated climate-controlled wine cellar and tasting room with extensive bottle storage, display shelving, beautiful wood finishes and space to sit and enjoy a tasting.
If you're a wine enthusiast, you'll understand why this room deserves a moment of appreciation.
There's also an elevator connecting all three levels, which is a thoughtful addition given the scale of the property.
A Backyard That Feels Like Your Own Private Resort
Outside, the property offers a substantial 16-by-32-foot swimming pool, a retractable safety cover, an integrated hot tub, outdoor shower, lounge areas and beautiful surrounding greenery.
There's even a water slide, a children's play area and a small pitch-and-putt setup.
The covered outdoor spaces, fireplaces and heaters make it possible to enjoy the backyard beyond the summer months.
And Yes, There's a Garage for the Car Enthusiast
Just when you think you've seen everything, there's another surprise.
The property includes an impressive multi-level garage setup with two vehicle lifts, a dedicated workshop, an outdoor vehicle-washing area and its own small kitchen.
The video tour demonstrates capacity for up to eight vehicles in the garage. For a serious car enthusiast, this is an entirely different level of functionality.
My Take on 1450 Crystal Creek Drive
What makes this Anmore estate particularly interesting is that it caters to several lifestyles without compromising on any of them.
It's a home for someone who enjoys hosting, cooking, collecting wine, working from home, staying active and spending time outdoors. It's also a property where the practical details have clearly received as much attention as the visual design.
At $12.75 million, buyers at this level aren't simply looking for more square footage. They're looking for privacy, functionality, craftsmanship and a lifestyle that would be difficult to replicate.
And this property certainly gives them plenty to consider.
Interested in experiencing this Anmore estate in person? Get in touch to arrange a private viewing. Some homes really do need to be seen to be appreciated.
