A couple of million dollars can still buy a lot of things these days, but it wouldn’t cover the cost of the most expensive pad at Sun Peaks Resort.

A home at the resort recently fetched $2.2 million — a record for residential property.

Liz Forster, managing broker at Sotheby’s International Realty Canada, told KTW the property was listed for only a month before it was snapped up.

So, what comes with all those zeros?

At 3,500 square feet, the home includes radiant in-floor heating, high-end appliances and a unique timber frame — not to mention a ski hill as a backyard.

“It’s actually a cross between a piece of art and a building,” Forster said.

The previously most expensive house at Sun Peaks sold for $1.5 million in 2006.

The $2.2-million house is located on…

Two Uplands waterfront estates once owned by former NHL players Russ and Geoff Courtnall have each sold for around $6 million, as Greater Victoria's luxury-home sales surge after being battered by the economic slowdown.

Geoff's brother Russ Courtnall, now of…
