What do you get when you marry a sparkling new Whistler mega-mansion on 7.2 acres to a panoramic 10-acre parcel of land next door? Only the highest priced real-estate deal in the history of the resort: a total purchase price of over $40 million, including tax. The architectural supermodel was designed by the internationally-acclaimed firm of Bohlin Cywinski Jackson, built to high spec in the tony Stonebridge neighbourhood. See it to believe it but here’s a primer: a blue glass arrival court, a Golden Spiral landscaping feature, a curving cable-hung staircase that doubles as an art installation, a hodgepodge of cantilevered decks, a grotto spa, and an 82-foot swimming pool that’s both cut into and cantilevered out from the cliff edge.
Real estate in Whistler continues to attract international buyers, as it is exempt from the Canadian federal foreign buyer ban as well as the provincial speculation and vacancy tax, alongside a softening Canadian dollar. Plus, the place is downright gorgeous. “If you look anywhere in the world, whether it be an urban setting, a beach resort, or a mountain ski resort, it all starts with the dirt,” said realtor John Ryan.
