Pretty nice deal for a floating one-bedroom, eh? Currently docked in British Columbia’s Sailor’s Cove marina, this adorable Canadian houseboat offers 377 square feet of chicly designed living space for $187,000 — much less than a home of similar size might command on land.
The “float home,” as it is repeatedly referred to in the listing — which is held by Wendy Coleman of Royal LePage Coast Capital – Chatterton — is freshly renovated and offers not just an alluring price tag, but also “meticulous update[s] by a skilled carpenter.”
There’s an open-concept kitchen with a gas oven and a four-burner stove, a separate fridge and freezer and an “artisan-crafted dining table” and bench off to the side.

At its current Cove location, the vessel also includes a few amenities, including a dedicated parking space and access to the marina’s facilities, which include multiple showers, bathrooms, laundry and bike storage.
Short-term rentals, notably, are not permitted.
