For those seeking a quiet life away from the hustle and bustle of Vancouver, Squamish is a true haven of peace and quiet. But the spacious and rustic vibe that everybody loves about Squamish is becoming harder and harder to find, with condo and townhome developments springing up everywhere in a bid to address the housing affordability affecting many B.C. residents.
34 lots zoned against densification, coming soon to Brackendale
Enter Palette at Brackendale, a new community offering spacious build lots in Squamish away from all of the busyness and noise.
- The R-2 zoning permits only two dwellings per lot, making it exempt from densification rules of the provincial government’s Bill-44 Housing Statutes (Residential Development) Amendment Act.
- As you enter from the South, you are greeted with expansive views of the mountain ranges surrounding your future home. To the East is a new lush park full of greenery, available to the residents of Palette. To the West is the Squamish River and Brackendale Eagles Provincial Park.
- The adjacent parcels to the North are zoned as agricultural land that cannot be subdivided nor developed into high-density housing. This way, the future residents of Palette can rest easy knowing their views and tranquility are here to stay, preserving the way Squamish living was meant to be.
Prime location for both adventure and convenience
Palette puts you within a 40 minute drive to the Creekside parking lot at the Whistler Blackcomb Ski Resort, an hour drive from Vancouver and an hour and half drive from the Vancouver International Airport.
"People often question if living in Squamish means being cut off from the world," says local Realtor® Vince Scott. "But with big-name stores like Walmart, Save On Foods and Canadian Tire right here in town – not to mention charming cafes, great schools and a strong sense of community – Squamish offers the best of both worlds.”
A money-smart alternative to Whistler lots
While Whistler's resort-style living is appealing, it comes with a steep price tag. Palette offers homesites from 7,000 to 10,000 sqft starting under $1 million – significantly less than similar lots in Whistler, which often cost more than double. These low-density plots might be the last chance to build your dream home in a resort-like setting without the on-resort prices.
The lots at Palette are already levelled, cleared and fully serviced with power and water, allowing you to start designing and building your dream home right away. Avoiding the high costs of blasting and leveling uneven lots – which can often exceed $150,000 – makes this opportunity even more attractive. Instead, you can set aside that money for more ski gear or mountain bikes.
Exempt from the federal foreign buyers ban
The foreign buyers ban, an act to prohibit the purchase of residential property by non-Canadians until Jan. 2027, does not apply to bare land. Given the international acclaim of Whistler Blackcomb Ski Resort, and the popularity of B.C., one can anticipate a high level of interest from the global community in claiming a stake in Palette and calling Squamish home.
For those dreaming of a quieter lifestyle without giving up convenience and access to world-class recreation, Palette at Brackendale offers a rare chance to secure that future.
