About This Home

Rustic mountain character meets refined European influence in this architecturally inspired Mountain Air retreat, where strength, elegance and panoramic views converge. A monumental boulder in the front landscape creates a dramatic arrival, setting the tone for the extraordinary design within. Inside, a soaring three-story foyer filled with natural light delivers an immediate sense of scale and grandeur. The entry level offers two private guest suites, providing comfort and seclusion for family and friends, while a curved staircase and private lift connect each level with effortless grace. The main living level centers on a magnificent great room anchored by a grand stone fireplace and framed by walls of windows that capture ever-changing mountain vistas. Soaring ceilings enhance the sense of openness, while the adjoining dining area and chef’s kitchen, appointed with expansive counters and refined finishes, create an ideal setting for intimate meals and elegant entertaining. The primary suite is a sanctuary, featuring its fireplace, private deck and a spa-inspired bath designed for renewal. An upper-level loft offers flexible space for a studio, office or additional bedroom. Beyond the home, Mountain Air residents enjoy miles of trails, resort-style amenities and rare luxury of a private airport. This is a residence of distinction, where inspired design and mountain beauty create an exceptional way of life.
