Dream mountain homes

When you ski past the Mt. Morrisey connector you can see a bunch of super nice properties out back. I’ve been wondering what these places must look like from the inside and how cozy they must be. After all, being able to ski straight to your back yard is a real privilege!

Last week I met with Peter Nixon, the Real Estate Manager for Sun Peaks Resort Corporation, and he gave me a private tour around some of the resorts’ properties, such as Bridge Gate. This is a group of large houses with stunning views of the top of Tod Mountain and inside they’re full of very wide rooms, with high ceilings, nice décor, comfy beds and so much space! If you purchase one you can choose to have the furniture package, which includes those comfy huge beds and nice ski decorations!

Peter explained to me what the construction plans are and about some expansion plans according to how well these units are sold. It was interesting to see how all the condos and lodges here are totally planned and that Sun Peaks is still growing. There are plans on opening new terrain and building another chair lift at the east village.

At the end of our tour, we visited the Delta Residences where I will be at the end of my stay here. Not bad!

These are large units, with up to two bedrooms, with high-end appliances and three TV sets. The bathrooms were really nice, with a big hot tub and shower. It is connected to the hotel, but a private residence, and you have ski-in ski-out access to the heart of the village street – really nice. Peter was very precise explaining to me just how it works to purchase one of these units, a quarter ownership share and how you rotate with three other owners over the year. This is not a time share deal, if I were to purchase a Delta Residences unit, I’d literally own part of it. Umm, I like the sound of that! And actually, the prices are well below what I was expecting!

Well, I was suspicious and now I’m certain, I found the perfect place to live when I retire from my tough Snow Bum career! Why not own a beautiful place in this four season resort, where I can enjoy the mountains and ski to my back yard during the winter?
