It has a highly-developed ‘ski village’ at the base of the mountain and was the site for many of the 2010 Winter Olympic events.

List price: $14,995,000 CAD Indoor space: 4,800 square feet (445.935 Sq. m) Outdoor space: 5 acres Bedrooms: 6 Bathrooms: 7 full Built: 2004

Notable amenities: – Matching guest house and guest suites – Heated floors – Hot tub/spa – Southern sun exposure – Indoor waterfall – Slate flooring – Multiple indoor/outdoor fireplaces – Lakeside – Gated community
