Look inside a $25.5M Whistler mansion

The latest mega-mansion to hit the market in Whistler, B.C., is the most expensive residential listing within a Canadian mountain resort town, according to its listing agent.

Built in 2014 and renovated last year, 5476 Stonebridge Pl. is up for grabs for $25.5 million. The 8,244-square-foot chalet boasts six bedrooms, seven bathrooms and a detached guest house. It sits on a 4.32-acre lot.

Stonebridge offers the largest acreage in the Whistler valley, incredible privacy, and connectivity right out your back door to mother nature.”

The property also features a home theatre, sauna, hot tub and wine cellar.

The home is in the exclusive Stonebridge neighbourhood, where a nearby mansion broke Whistler’s real estate price record last summer when it sold for $32 million.

But a large part of what draws those buyers to Whistler is the strong sense of community there, according to Ryan.

“They are buying a lifestyle,” he said. “They are buying what we live every day. Young people want to be in Whistler. Kids and grandkids want to be in Whistler. Multigenerational families want to be in Whistler—that is the secret sauce for Whistler.”
