73.5 private acres of non-ALR land on the Cheakamus River, 15 minutes from Whistler Village. It is among the largest privately held parcels in the Whistler corridor. The land combines river frontage, sweeping valley views and seclusion with multiple access points, with the current best access via a Forest Service Road (FSR) that is not maintained in the winter months.
The property is zoned RS-E1, which permits a single-family estate with auxiliary buildings. That makes it a natural setting for a private family compound or legacy retreat. Granite and merchantable timber on site add resource value. Buyers with a larger vision may want to explore recreational or tourism uses, such as a lodge, heli-ski base or campground, subject to rezoning and approvals.
Opportunities of this size this close to Whistler rarely come to market.

Set in the heart of British Columbia’s Coast Mountains, Whistler is one of Canada's most sought-after mountain communities, located approximately 120 kilometres north of Vancouver along the scenic Sea to Sky Highway. Known worldwide for its mountain setting and resort lifestyle, Whistler attracts an international mix of visitors, homeowners, and outdoor enthusiasts. Despite its global recognition, the community maintains a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere where mountain living is part of everyday life.
Whistler Village is the centre of activity, with pedestrian-friendly streets lined with restaurants, cafés, boutique shops, galleries, and entertainment. Beyond the Village, neighbourhoods such as Alpine Meadows, Emerald Estates, Blueberry Hill, and Whistler Creekside offer everything from established family homes to luxury mountain properties. Residents enjoy access to grocery stores, schools, healthcare services, fitness facilities, and professional businesses, making Whistler equally appealing for year-round living and seasonal escapes.
Whistler's reputation on the world stage was further established when it co-hosted the 2010 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games, welcoming athletes and spectators from around the globe. Today, the community continues to draw international attention through major sporting and cultural events, bringing world-class athletes, filmmakers, and visitors to the resort throughout the year.
Situated between Squamish and Pemberton, Whistler is approximately two hours from Vancouver and within easy reach of Vancouver International Airport. The community benefits from local transit, shuttle services, and an extensive network of walking and cycling pathways connecting neighbourhoods, parks, and the Village.
What sets Whistler apart is its ability to offer the amenities of an internationally recognized resort while preserving the character of a mountain town. From its lively Village and established residential communities to the surrounding lakes, forests, and mountains, Whistler offers a lifestyle that appeals to those seeking both a permanent home and a retreat from city living.
Whistler Blackcomb, one of the largest ski resorts in North America, is the main attraction, with over 8,100 acres of skiable terrain, extensive lift networks, and runs suited to all ability levels. Beyond downhill skiing and snowboarding, the area offers cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, snowmobiling, ice skating, tubing, heli-skiing, and backcountry adventures. The Whistler Olympic Park in the nearby Callaghan Valley is a popular destination for Nordic skiing, snowshoeing, and biathlon, while Lost Lake Park offers groomed cross-country ski trails just minutes from Whistler Village.
Once the snow melts, Whistler becomes a destination for hiking, mountain biking, golfing, and alpine exploration. The world-renowned Whistler Mountain Bike Park attracts riders from around the globe, while Garibaldi Provincial Park, Brandywine Falls Provincial Park, and the trails around Rainbow Mountain offer exceptional hiking and sightseeing. The PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola provides access to alpine trails and panoramic mountain views.
Whistler's lakes, including Alta Lake, Lost Lake, Alpha Lake, Nita Lake, and Green Lake, are popular for swimming, kayaking, paddleboarding, and relaxing at the beach. The River of Golden Dreams offers scenic paddling, while nearby rivers provide opportunities for fishing and whitewater rafting. Golfers can enjoy four championship courses in Whistler and nearby Pemberton, including Nicklaus North, Fairmont Chateau Whistler, Whistler Golf Club, and Big Sky Golf Club.
Closer to town, Whistler's extensive Valley Trail network connects neighbourhoods, parks, and lakes, making walking, running, and cycling part of everyday life. Other popular activities include rock climbing, ziplining, horseback riding, ATV tours, tennis, pickleball, and wildlife viewing. The Meadow Park Sports Centre also provides year-round swimming, skating, and fitness facilities.
Whistler's transformation from a quiet mountain valley into a world-renowned resort destination began in the early 1900s, when the area attracted railway travellers, fishing enthusiasts, and outdoor adventurers. The opening of the Pacific Great Eastern Railway in 1914 made the region more accessible, while the development of Rainbow Lodge on Alta Lake helped establish Whistler as a summer getaway. The opening of Whistler Mountain for skiing in 1966 marked a turning point, followed by the development of Blackcomb Mountain in 1980 and the growth of Whistler Village.
