A New Record! Whistler Ski Chalet of Your Dreams Sells for $17.5M

Located in Whistler’s exclusive Stonebridge neighbourhood on a 5.59-acre lot, this extravagant nine-bedroom mountain estate has undergone a whopping $8 million in renovations. The home also includes a separate staff residence – an 1,184-square-foot guest house. The home sold in July 2017 for $17.5 million, matching the existing record for Whistler’s highest sale set in 2007.

The main residence is entered via this lavish foyer, which added Brazilian slate flooring in the recent renovation. “Secluded, yet close to the world-class amenities of Whistler, this estate welcomes the awe-inspiring mountains to the doorstep and provides everything needed to live in comfort without leaving the grounds,” says listing agent John Ryan.”This property is a true luxury retreat.”

The home makes the most of the expansive views that span the entire mountain range, with a massive window bringing the breathtaking Whistler vista right inside. “The new owners are a young family of six looking to primarily use the property during the ski season, but with the spectacular outdoor living space the estate offers they will surely enjoy throughout the summer as well,” says Ryan.

The large stone fireplace and gorgeous curved timber in this room make for an inviting après-ski spot.

The main floor living area – also featuring a massive stone fireplace – flows into the dining room and kitchen areas.

The extensive renovations are on display in this wonderful room with a built-in bar, and include refinishing the ceiling timbers and warm hardwood flooring.

Also part of the home’s $8-million renovation was this lavish kitchen, which has been completely updated with luxury at the forefront.

Boasting extensive windows to take full advantage of the amazing view, the modern kitchen melds inviting comfort with luxurious amenities.

Along with a massive double-door stainless steel refrigerator and dual side-by-side ovens, the spacious pantry can be seen in the background.

The dining room boasts a ski chalet feel, with large windows and exposed wood beams adding dramatic effect to the high ceilings.

A cozy den/home office offers an inviting space from which to take in the spectacular mountain vista.

The main house’s master bedroom – one of nine – is designed so that the occupant will awaken to the sunny view of Whistler’s magical mountains.

The ensuite bath is as large and expansive as you’d expect from a home priced at a sliver below $20 million, providing an elegant spa-like feel.

After a day on the slopes, who wouldn’t want to relax sore muscles in this deep soaker tub that provides a view of the mountains?

The ensuite also features this large walk-in shower, accentuated by the pale stained wood throughout.

Storing clothes won’t be a problem in this massive dressing room, which features countless drawers and closet space.

Another den, featuring built-in shelving, showcases the warmth of the hardwood floors, the exposed timber beams and, of course, the stunning view.

An après-ski family movie night could not be held in a more spectacular setting than this inviting home theatre, designed with comfort in mind while including the latest in high-tech home entertainment. As the listing explains, that’s only the beginning: “New state-of-the-art climate control, audio visual and security systems ensure owners can enjoy a rugged mountain lifestyle assisted by the latest in discreet home technology.”

A major aspect of the renovation included expanding the outdoor living area, which boasts more than 1,850 square feet of a divinely designed outdoor area.

The expanded outdoor area includes the addition of an outdoor kitchen and this outdoor lounge, surrounding a massive stone fireplace.

There’s no denying the spectacularly expansive mountain view from the outdoor lounge is second to none.

The outdoor lounge area includes this modern swimming pool and hot tub, showcasing the home’s unique Whistler location.
