Michael Bublé Owns B.C.’s Most Expensive Suburban Home — And It’s Across From His Childhood School
CHICAGO — Canadian crooner Michael Bublé isn’t just known for his silky vocals and holiday hits — he’s also the proud owner of British Columbia’s most expensive suburban home, valued at nearly $28 million.
Located at 7868 Government Road in Burnaby, Bublé’s 12,000-square-foot mansion was built in 2018 and now holds the title of the 32nd most valuable home in the entire province, according to the B.C. Assessment Authority. It’s not just a mansion — it’s a personal landmark, sitting directly across from his childhood elementary school, Seaforth Elementary.
Luxury With a Personal Legacy
While Vancouver’s coastal mansions often dominate headlines, it’s Bublé’s Burnaby estate that stands out among the suburbs. Not only does it carry deep emotional ties to the singer’s upbringing, but it’s also loaded with luxe amenities:
- A full-size ice rink in the basement
- A private tennis court
- A resort-style swimming pool
- A personal putting green
These high-end features, combined with its personal significance, help explain the property’s staggering $27.96 million valuation as of July 1, 2024.
Tax Bill Fit for a Pop Icon
Owning the top-valued suburban property doesn’t come cheap. According to the City of Burnaby’s tax calculator, Bublé is expected to pay around $175,000 in property taxes this year — with more than $98,000 going toward school taxes alone.
Luckily, Bublé’s income keeps up with the estate. Postmedia reports he earned an estimated $6 million during the Christmas season from song royalties alone — largely thanks to his holiday dominance on the charts.
Part of a Competitive Luxury Market
Bublé’s home may lead the suburban pack, but it’s part of a broader market of ultra-luxury homes across British Columbia. Other notable suburban properties include:
- A Langley estate valued at $18.2 million
- A Victoria oceanfront property worth $17.3 million
- A White Rock cliffside mansion appraised at $16.9 million
Still, Bublé’s home remains the undisputed suburban king, balancing personal nostalgia with modern luxury.
