Every day unveils a new adventure, with every amenity transforming the land into an exhilarating playground for the young at heart with space for all your friends and family. Stretching as far as the eye can see, invigorating mountain views, towering pines, and miles of uninterrupted sky inspire you to enjoy the peace and tranquility or leave no stone unturned. As to the residence, the impression is indescribable, with a nod to rustic authenticity. The interior is dominated by sheer sophistication and natural beauty seamlessly intertwined. For a time, your name may be written on the title, but the land and the memories will forever be inscribed on your heart.
At the property’s entrance, a double wrought iron gate sweeps open to an elegantly curved driveway meandering to the residence’s main entrance. Along the way, gorgeous mature trees line the drive, culminating in a shimmering grove of aspen trees that grace the entryway with soft greens and vibrant fall color. Stately wood doors open to the dramatic great room, with its soaring vaulted ceiling and reclaimed beams, illuminated by uplighting. From here, the eye is drawn to another fabulous element, the beautiful, curved staircase with a 200-year-old wood and iron banister. The room is richly enhanced with an unforgettable fireplace, framed by floor-to-ceiling stacked stone. Every angle of the home takes full advantage of the natural setting, from intoxicating mountain views to acres of unspoiled landscape replete with charming meadows, a deep sand dry riverbed, and sheltering bluffs.
The spacious, open kitchen is a marvel of culinary opulence creating a gourmet haven characterized by elegance and functionality. Two large, bleached walnut center islands steal the show: one topped with quartzite from Brazil, the other with Tigerwood. Custom walnut cabinetry panels the kitchen wall, hiding a secret working pantry. State-of-the-art Wolf appliances, renowned for exceptional quality and professional-grade performance, are a top choice for discerning chefs. As luxury demands, all four Miele refrigerators and freezers are undetectable at first glance. But behind closed doors, these Costco-defying, oversized appliances accommodate supplies for the apocalypse of all your weekend guests.
The open dining space highlights a bar with a one-of-a-kind, petrified wood countertop, built-in Miele coffee machine, and wine cooler. The adjacent, family room centers around a stone fireplace, set under reclaimed wood vaulted ceilings with wall-to-wall, west-facing windows affording sweeping views of mountains, fields, and trees. This area opens to a full-length covered deck, overlooking the pool.
Even the mud room is a work of art, showcasing an ostrich leather countertop and full-length lockers. This area houses a private staircase leading to the upper-level guest suite, that offers independent living featuring a fireplace and full kitchen.
Remote work is a pleasure in the confines of two exquisite offices. One, close to the kitchen, is bright with a built-in quartzite deck and open shelving. The second is encased in handsome, rich wood built-ins and wainscoting and framed by the unforgettable, two-sided fireplace that looks out to the great room.
Large windows in the primary bedroom bathe the spacious room in sunshine and natural light. An inviting hue envelops the room, enhanced by a cozy gas fireplace surrounded by stone and a carved mantel. In the spa-bath, two vanities have granite countertops, complemented by a large steam shower, jetted soaking tub and a striking picture window. Luxury feature: two separate water closets. The expansive closet is sheer perfection, with two separate rooms, a custom walnut closet system, two islands, and washer and dryer. All additional bedrooms are ensuite, with fabulous storage and pleasing views.
The lower level is tailor-made for fun! A variety of curated seating spaces lend a club-like feel to the area, and there’s plenty of entertainment options with room galore for game tables and billiards. The expansive wet bar is well equipped and is adjacent to a 400-bottle wine cellar, perfectly suited to wine enthusiasts. Stream the latest flicks in the home theater, with plush seating, under-step lighting and projection screen. Break a sweat in the mirrored gym, where there is plenty of room for multiple machines and easy access to the hot tub.
Guests can enjoy their own private retreat in the entirely separate guest house. It’s equipped with a great room, full-sized kitchen, two bedrooms, a laundry room, and a 4-car attached garage with workshop.
Whether for relaxation, recreation, and socializing, the outdoor amenities enhance the overall living experience. Go fast, or slow, in the 20’ x 60’ pool with competitive lap lanes. The land itself is the most beautiful amenity! A 2.7-mile walking trail invites you to explore the land, where you’ll see a bald eagle soar to its nest and a herd of elk roaming. The shooting range, with distances of 100, 250 and 400 yards, is ideal for pistol, rifle, and skeet/trap shooting. Next, challenge each other to a match on the full-sized tennis court, lit with tournament-grade lighting.
