This is one of the finest homes in what is perhaps the most upscale neighbourhood of Whistler - Blueberry Hill. Situated between Whistler Creek and the Village, perched high on the hill, overlooking the Whistler Golf Course, this home will satisfy the most discriminating clientele. (It was home to Prince Charles and his sons when they visited Whistler). Entry is into the hallway, which leads to the spectacular reception area, with double height ceilings, immense stone wood-burning fireplace, comfortable leather sofas etc. The kitchen is immense, with every conceivable appliance, while the dining area will comfortably accommodate up to 12 guests. There is a full wrap-around deck with large private hot tub and comfortable Adirondack chairs. Just off the kitchen is a bedroom with a queen sized bed and a full bathroom.

Upstairs are 3 bedrooms and a very spacious den/media room. The master bedroom has vaulted ceilings, a 4-poster queen sized bed and its own fireplace, together with ensuite bathroom including a tub with spectacular views over the Valley. The third and fourth bedrooms each have 2 twins and there is a large sofabed in the spacious den/media room.

The local area

Whistler has been the number 1 rated ski resort in North America for the last 8 years in a row. Two mountains, Whistler and Blackcomb, rise up a mile out of the valley (1,609 metres/ 5,280 vertical feet) and access over 7,000 acres of prime mountain terrain - including 12 alpine bowls, three glaciers and more than 200 marked trails - via 33 lifts. The lifts have a capacity of nearly 60,000 skiers per hour. If you want a rest from the skiing there are 18 different restaurants on the mountain.

Average snowfall is over 30 feet or 9 metres per year, and the season lasts all the way from November through to August.
