A home in an exclusive neighborhood overlooking Alta Lake has sold for $32,000,000, breaking Whistler’s real estate sale price record by nearly $10,000,000.
The international couple, who Ryan say split their time between Europe and New York City and are self-made, also bought the lot next door for an additional $7,500,000 to build a guest house and tennis courts.
The buyers were able to purchase the home because Whistler is exempt from a new law that prohibits foreigners from buying homes in Canada.
They’re talking kind of three months in the summer and two to three weeks in the winter for skiing.
To drop 32 million on a house (which is mind bogglingly in and of itself) and only spend three months in it? Motherfuckers out there with way too much goddamn money. That’s ridiculous.

Yup. $39.5 mil when you include they purchased the lot next door too.
Never mind the fact the gov’t didn’t include Whistler in the new foreign ownership rules. 😠
