Sarah McLachlan lists her custom retreat in Whistler, Canada

Singer-songwriter Sarah McLachlan has put her custom retreat in Whistler, Canada, on the market.

Singer-songwriter Sarah McLachlan has listed her retreat in Whistler, Canada, for sale at about $10.1 million (13.5 million Canadian dollars).

The mezzo-soprano and pianist was instrumental in the building, design and finishes of the custom house, which sits on 4.3 acres in the Stonebridge area of the resort town.

A boulder-lined stone driveway leads to the stone- and wood-clad lodge-like residence with a gracefully arching roof. Evergreen landscaping blends into the natural setting.

Inside, an open-plan living and dining room features a massive stone fireplace, vaulted wood ceilings and walls of glass. The roomy living area even has plenty of space for a Yamaha grand piano.

Built two years ago, the gated home has 8,300 square feet of living space including a home theater, a wine room and a gym. The eat-in kitchen features a long island, ceiling beams and a long window along one side of the room. There’s also a detached guesthouse.

Views take in snow-capped mountains and pine tree tops.

McLachlan, 47, has made a name for herself as a pop, rock and ballad singer. She won two Grammy Awards in 1997 for her album “Surfacing” and picked up a third two years later for her performance of “I Will Remember You.”

Her most recent album, “Shine On,” was released last year. McLachlan plays several string instruments, including guitar and harp, as well as keyboards.

The property is being marketed by Jordan Cohen of Re/Max Olson & Associates.
