Privacy, Forest and 50km of Trails as Your Backyard

Emerald Estates occupies the hillside northeast of Whistler Village — large-lot homes tucked into the forest with views across Lost Lake and the Valley toward Whistler Mountain. Nordic Estates adjacent provides a similar proposition: privacy, forest, and Lost Lake Park's 50km of summer trails (and world-class cross-country skiing in winter) essentially as private amenity. These are the "off the beaten Village path" estates for buyers who value quiet over convenience.

Emerald & Nordic Estates — Frequently Asked Questions

What is the character of Emerald Estates as a neighbourhood?
Emerald Estates is a large-lot residential neighbourhood on the hillside northeast of Whistler Village, tucked into the forest with views across Lost Lake and the Whistler Valley toward Whistler Mountain. The neighbourhood is predominantly custom-built homes from the 1990s to 2010s, with generous lot sizes that are rare in the Whistler context. The forest canopy, quiet crescents and lack of through-traffic give Emerald a genuinely residential feel distinct from more resort-adjacent areas.
What is Lost Lake Park and why does it matter for Emerald and Nordic?
Lost Lake Park is a 56-hectare municipal park immediately adjacent to Emerald and Nordic Estates, offering 50 kilometres of summer mountain biking and hiking trails plus world-class cross-country skiing and snowshoeing in winter. Properties that back onto the park have direct trail access essentially as private amenity — without the maintenance, cost or liability. The park is operated by the Resort Municipality of Whistler and is maintained to an exceptional standard year-round.
What price range should I expect in Emerald Estates and Nordic Estates?
Homes in Emerald Estates and Nordic Estates range from approximately $4,000,000 for well-maintained properties on secondary streets to $9,000,000 and above for the finest forest-edge estates on larger lots with direct park access and valley views. Sunridge Plateau, which sits above both neighbourhoods with panoramic views, commands premiums of $4,500,000 to $10,000,000 for the most elevated and view-rich positions.
How far are Emerald and Nordic from Whistler Village?
Emerald Estates and Nordic Estates are approximately 5 to 10 minutes from Whistler Village by car, or 15 to 20 minutes by the Valley Trail on a bicycle. Lost Lake provides a direct trail connection through the park to the Village for those on foot or bike. The neighbourhoods strike the balance between proximity to resort amenities and a genuinely residential quietness that closer-in addresses cannot offer.
What lot sizes are typical in Emerald Estates?
Emerald Estates lots are among the largest in the Whistler municipality for single-family residential use — most fall in the 0.3 to 0.7 acre range, with some park-adjacent parcels exceeding 1 acre. These lot sizes represent extraordinary scarcity in a resort municipality where land supply is permanently constrained by the Resort Municipality of Whistler's growth containment policies and the surrounding provincial parkland.
