The property sits in Whistler’s most prestigious ski-in, ski-out enclave, where groomed trails and sweeping mountain and valley views define daily life. The home also provides quick access to Creekside Village as well as the Whistler and Blackcomb mountains—perfect for ski and mountain biking fanatics.

For realtor John Thompson, the transaction marked a career milestone and described the property as a personal favourite out of all the homes he has sold. The property’s stunning interiors seamlessly blend functionality and refined design with its surroundings while still feeling homely and welcoming.

The property features a mix of high-end materials, including custom Shinnoki oak cabinetry and hemlock ceilings. In the kitchen, Gaggenau appliances anchor a space tailored for serious cooking and entertaining. The home also includes a media lounge, a wine room and even a built-in elevator that services all floors. For skiing enthusiasts, there is a dedicated ski and boot room, access to a private gondola, as well as a pool and hot tub to unwind in after a long day on the slopes.

The sale

The house was originally listed at $13.8 million and spent most of 2025 on the market, before the price was reduced to $12.8 million and it ultimately sold for $12.25 million in November. After a sluggish year with abundant inventory across the province, Thompson says activity and sales began to pick up in the winter, with more buyers re-entering to take advantage of improved pricing, increased inventory and lower interest rates.

Across the Whistler detached home market as a whole, January 2026 versus January 2025 saw total active listings drop by 8.4 per cent while sales increased by 60 per cent. Detached homes in the area also recorded a 12.5 per cent increase in the MLS Home Price Index (HPI) benchmark price over the same period.

Despite the uptick, Thompson still cautions against reading too much into broader monthly market numbers for a micro-market like Kadenwood.

“These ultra-luxury markets are often influenced more by global wealth cycles and lifestyle demand than by monthly stats,” he explains, adding that buyers at this level tend to prioritize privacy, quality and long-term alignment with the property.
