Located on nearly 1 1/2 acres at the top of The Pines, the newest and most luxurious single-family home development in Snowmass, this site was the developer's choice for his own home, designed by noted architect Bill Poss and built by RA Nelson, one of Colorado's most distinctive contractors. End-of-the-road privacy, with unobstructed views across open space of the lower slopes of Two Creeks and the private network of Pines ski trails. Beautiful stands of evergreens make this home nearly invisible from the cul-de-sac and provide a real sense of seclusion. Ski back from the public East Branch trail directly to this home's ski room without having to use a poma or funicular to get there. Ski out in the morning via The Pines' ''Autumn'' trail directly to the Poma surface lift which accesses the base of the Two Creeks high-speed quad (see maps in Documents). Finish details include integral plaster walls, alder cabinetry and trim, hardwood floors, and a grand stone woodburning fireplace around which the living area is wrapped. Just off the living room is a large media room, ideally furnished to watch a movie or football game - for multitaskers, there's a nearby computer desk to catch up on e-mail. Accessed from the living room is a large snowmelted dining/lounging stone terrace with beautiful mountain views, as well as a romantic outdoor spa. A formal dining room is centered on a floor-to-ceiling window and is graced by a custom wrought-iron chandelier. The gourmet kitchen is ideally suited for a private chef and features every possible appliance, including grills, fryer and 6-burner gas Viking range. A cozy banquette is perfect for kids and pancakes. Also on the main level is a powder room, and a magnificent primary suite with a gas fireplace and desk/sitting area; adjacent is a spa-like bath with jetted tub (with views!), a steam shower and large walk-in closet. On the lower level are three large ensuite bedrooms, as well as a fully-outfitted exercise room with bath which could easily be a 5th bedroom. Three of the four bedrooms have walk-out stone patios, surrounded by yard. There is a small TV area on this guest bedroom level, a sizeable temperature-controlled wine room, and a fantastic ski-room with cubbies and storage for a whole host of skis, snowboards, helmets and boots. The ski room opens right out onto the private Autumn ski trail - you'll be on the Two Creeks lift in a couple minutes. There are laundry rooms on both levels and an immaculate garage. This home is air-conditioned and has a snow-melted driveway. Easy access to an entire network of hiking and mtn biking trails in summer. Beautifully maintained, the owners made improvements in 2022-23 to the roof, heating/cooling system and gutters/downspouts. Art and sculptures are excluded. As the home is usually occupied, 48-hr notice is helpful to everyone.
