Dream Home in the Elite Emerald Estates

There are many gorgeous trophy properties speckled throughout Whistler, but our clients really snagged an architectural masterpiece with this classic Whistler chalet! Our clients were looking for a one-of-kind home on Emerald Lake with a separate area to host guests or rent out during the high season. 9263 Emerald Drive gave them everything they hoped for and more!

A Serene Setting for a Whistler Chalet

The coveted Emerald Estates neighborhood is tucked away just far enough from the hustle and bustle of Whistler Village to offer owners some peace and tranquility while still being only a short 10-minute drive from the ski slopes. It’s the best of both worlds as far as location goes! It makes an optimal location for full-time residents and holiday visitors all year round.

This meticulously preserved home is perched directly above Green Lake, with a small bonus lake tucked just underneath the back patio. There’s a nearby access point to launch a boat into Green Lake, known for its pristine turquoise color. The lake is surrounded by beautiful forests and mountains, making it a picturesque location for outdoor activities. In the summer, it’s the perfect place to catch a seaplane tour, try your hand at wakeboarding, or spend the afternoon canoeing or kayaking around the tree-lined shores. Additionally, Green Lake offers a 2.8-mile paved walking loop that circles the lake for a 40 – 60 minute walk.

Nestled in amongst hundreds of trees, this charming home offers postcard-perfect views from every window. With panoramic mountain views on one end to the sparkling lake on the other, no matter which way you turn, you’ll be met with striking scenery.

Living Room Dining - Single Family Home

Lovingly Maintained & Renovated

9263 Emerald Drive was previously owned by the same family since it was built and has been taken care of with love. There have been many updates made throughout the years, including kitchen and bathroom counters, renovated flooring, a new roof, modernized appliances, and some replaced windows and sliding doors.

The home was completely ready for move-in, but it also offers the potential for personalized updates and even expansion by the new owners. With a 15,000-square-foot lot, there’s plenty of space for future add-ons to the three-story home.

The Nooks & Crannies

This timeless Whistler Chalet is made up of the primary residence and a spacious studio suite on the lowest level. The bonus floor has everything one may need, including a full kitchen, dining area, living room, bedroom, full bath, outdoor patio, and storage space. This separated space is ideal for rental income without tenants intruding on personal space. Alternatively, it makes a great separate area for inviting friends and family.

Due to the shortage of rental properties available to meet the demand this potential rental will generate a hefty income, especially because of it’s popular location and amenities nearby.

The two top floors make up the main area of the home. There are three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a laundry room, a kitchen, a dining room, a living room, a fireplace, and three balconies. Outside is a carport, additional storage sheds, and other areas for open parking.
