The Sanctuary—A Private Retreat!

Visited by wintering bald eagles and black bears, this special estate is in a wilderness location but is 40 minutes from Vancouver and only 30 minutes from world-class Whistler, home or the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic games. Outstanding materials,such as a standing-seam metal roof and cedar siding and shingles, were used in crafting this modern masterpiece, while 2,000 square feet of decks and patios create a wonderful indoor-outdoor flow. A frame of locally harvested and milled fir encloses 6,000 square feet of living space that includes five bedrooms, an inviting living: room, and a dining room that offers seating for intimate dinners or large family gatherings. The outstanding kitchen boasts custom cherry wood cabinets, granite countertops, and two islands. In the master bedroom, floor-to-ceiling windows frame river and mountain views. The private 13-acre grounds are enhanced by lush landscaping and extensive lighting, lending serenity and beauty to the gracious setting. The saltwater pool and hot tub are heated geothermally. An additional delight is the annual salmon run up the Squamish River, which can be enjoyed from the outdoor fire pit—a perfect spot for gatherings.
