Welcome to
4554 Belcarra House
From 2015 to 2023, this home underwent a remarkable, decade-long transformation—turning a modest property into a thoughtfully crafted, fully renovated residence. Nearly all of the work was done by the homeowner, a skilled carpenter and furniture maker, whose craftsmanship is evident in every detail.
This home is more than renovated—it’s a showcase of lifestyle, craftsmanship, and vision, brought to life over ten years with care, precision and passion.
The Village of Belcarra
Belcarra is a rural residential village and neighborhood in British Columbia, Canada, known for its natural beauty with mountains, forests, and the waters of Indian Arm. It is home to təmtəmíxʷtən/Belcarra Regional Park, which offers hiking, picnicking, and warm swimming at Sasamat Lake.
The name comes from Gaelic words for "sun" and "rock" and was chosen by a European settler in the area. The community offers a relaxed West Coast lifestyle and is a popular spot for boaters and nature lovers.
Belcarra Regional Park boasts family-friendly terrain and beach trails offering spectacular viewpoints of Deep Cove, Seymour Mountain and waterways that link the Burrard Inlet with Indian Arm. The trail to Jug Island Beach, specifically, weaves through scenic moss-covered forests before descending a steep hill - offering remarkable views of the tiny island just off the shoreline. This small community is home to beautiful Belcarra Park, one of Metro Vancouver's most cherished green spaces. Winding through Belcarra, the 1,100-hectare regional park begins near Belcarra Bay and extends to Sasamat Lake - considered one of greater Vancouver's warmest lakes and has several facilities including walking trails, a beach area, swimming in the lake, a concession stand, and much more!
