Landscaping

New designer fences was added along the house along with the driveway repaved.

Vegetable Garden

In the spring of 2015 we decided to take half of the front yard for a veggie garden. If gardening isn’t your thing, you can easily remove the enclosure and do what you please with the area.

Retaining Wall

Low concrete retaining wall on the property line the whole length of the house, with a six feet high Western Red Cedar designer fence on top of it. All of the retaining walls were constructed out of concrete or concrete “Allan“ blocks for maximum durability.  

Addition

New professional woodworking shop was added to the house between March 2021 and January 2022. This addition could easily be turned into living space if you are not interested in a workshop space.

Exterior Renovations

From March 2017 to April 2019 we renovated the whole house. The foundation and frame were solid, so it was worth the effort to upgrade this 1986 build. 

Interior Renovations

Almost all insulation was replaced and increased in R-Value throughout the house. The Attic was completely re-insulated with minimum, R-40 batt insulation and the ventilation was corrected and increased for better air-flow.

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!
