The post Malia Cox Nobrega and Barbara Scrivens Present A Spectacular Vail Home appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

Nestled in East Vail, this one-of-a-kind single family home was constructed to minimally impact and accentuate the surrounding natural beauty of the area. Backing up to a national forest with sweeping views of Bald Mountain, the tranquil seasonal stream provides the ultimate, serene backdrop for you to luxuriate in this Mountain Modern masterpiece. The residence is unmatched in its price point for quality of construction, location and luxury.

Designed by renowned local architect, Kyle Webb, the home’s versatile layout serves the evolving needs of families. Kyle used natural materials and clean lines to achieve a mountain modern aesthetic while capitalizing on the landscape’s beauty by adding floor-to-ceiling glass in all of the right locations.

The heated driveway leads to the dramatic glass entrance featuring an elegant floating staircase that is an artistic feat. The stairs are composed white oak treads and steel to further compliment the mountain modern look. And as you head up or down the stairway, the enchanting views of majestic pine trees and the mountains in the distance are breathtaking. Leading from the staircase of the main level is the kitchen and main living room.

The main living room is drenched in natural light from the soaring glass and vaulted ceilings that are framed with wooden accents. Additionally, the living room boasts a steel floor-to-ceiling fireplace and also leads to the outdoor patio. Opening up to the heated patio are Wyland doors that fold like an accordion so that you may bring the fresh air in or entertain effortlessly from space to space as you take in the views of Bald Mountain.

The main level master suite is situated in the back of the lot with it’s own spacious patio overlooking White River National Forest and the seasonal stream. Enjoy Colorado mornings with coffee on your private terrace while checking out the wildlife. The master wing is complete with a gas fireplace, wooden accent ceiling and a gorgeous master bathroom outfitted with a steam shower and walk-in closet. Even in the hottest months of the summer, you will be comfortable with a forced air conditioning system.

The lower level exalts great ceiling height and is designed around flexibility. Upon parking in your radiant heated and oversized 2-car garage, you enter into the large mudroom that is outfitted with gorgeous built-in, custom wooden lockers. Each locker is enclosed so that your gear is tucked away and remains tidy. Just beyond the mudroom is the family/game room complete with a bar and patio. This room can operate as another sleeping space when you have a houseful as there is a large three-quarter bathroom with a spacious shower. The bunk room on this level is totally unique as it has white oak bunk beds that are queen sized (two sets) for adults and kids alike. You could comfortably house four college age boys in this room or a houseful of kids would love to imagine this room as their fortress. This level is rounded out with a large laundry room, mechanical room that is sure to impress even the most critical eye, and a great additional storage closet.

A second master bedroom and two junior masters suites complete the upstairs. Each of the spacious junior suites have en-suite luxury bathrooms and floor-to-ceiling glass accentuating the majestic views. No guest will feel slighted no matter what room they are assigned.

Enjoy Gore Creek Trail, East Vail Falls and Booth Falls trail heads that are nearby for those looking for a quick outdoor escape. Or take in picnic, or toss a ball around the corner at the neighborhood dog park.

4872 Meadow Lane represents a luxury haven in the coveted East Vail neighborhood that has all that people expect when they come to the Rocky Mountains. This is an exciting opportunity to own a new construction, luxury mountain contemporary home for your family and friends to enjoy for years to come.

The post A Cordillera Valley Club Contemporary Home With Mountain Views appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

Sweeping, epic views and grand living spaces abound from this luxury residence. Take in the jaw-dropping panoramas from Vail’s back bowls, Beaver Creek ski slopes, Lake Creek Valley, and the epic Sawatch Mountain Range. This 6-bedroom home is perfectly situated on a premium homesite within the Cordillera Valley Club. The elegant residence was recently renovated with a transitional style. Featuring an ideal layout, enjoy the ease of living with an elevator, 3-car garage, great room, true chef's kitchen, master wing and a guest room all on the entry level. The wooden beam vaulted ceilings leading from the kitchen to the great room with a formal dining area frame the stunning landscape. Downstairs, a game area with a full bar and a family room with 2 en-suite bedrooms complete the bottom floor. The third floor encompasses 2 en-suite bedrooms and a library that could double as an office. Perfect for entertaining, seamlessly take the fun outdoors for sunsets on one of the patios or decks and end a great at the full bar in the family room. The community of Cordillera Valley Club is one of the few neighborhoods in the Valley with private roadways allowing residents to own and drive their own carts enjoying a “golf cart lifestyle” unique in the Vail Valley. The Club’s local amenities include a restaurant, pool, tennis courts, and gym and there is preliminary approval for a substantial renovation of the club’s facilities. The Valley Club Golf Course, designed by Tom Fazio, is the first to open and the last to close each golf season. The location with abundant light melts away the snow earlier than the other Cordillera golf course locations. In addition to the golf course and the amenities, Cordillera Valley Club residents savor the surrounding natural
beauty with panoramic views stretching from the Back Bowls of Vail over to the New York Mountain, Sawatch Mountain Range, and Lake Creek Valley. Should club members wish to change up the scenery and play a different course, they are welcome to partake in a round on the other two Cordillera golf courses as part of their golf membership. The Summit Course designed by Jack Nicklaus boasts the highest course elevation within Cordillera and is an incredible sight to see.

The post Prestigious Colorado Estate appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

What is significant about this sale prior to the ones made before?

This home took a total of 8 years to come to fruition from the inception of the design to completion. The sale was significant in that it set the benchmark for the highest priced residence ever sold in the town of Edwards, CO and the highest price home sold outside of the Vail and Beaver Creek resort areas in nearly 10 years.

What were prospective buyers seeking when viewing this home?

Huge views, acreage, privacy, and something truly unique that is also relatively close to two of the most iconic ski resorts in the world.

Describe the architectural qualities this home possessed?

The Sellers felt the land always resembled Tuscany with green hills, lush verdant valleys and three-hundred-sixty degrees views of majestic, snow-capped mountains from New York Mountain and the rest of the Sawatch Range, the Gore Range or Castle Peak, depending on the direction of your gaze.

Gordon Pierce (architect) had a vision for a noble, Tuscan-style home that would be the perfect, timeless legacy estate for the Rothkopf family. The goal of the design was to create an estate that would be comfortable and just as gorgeous today as it will be many generations from now. For two weeks, through Umbria and Tuscany, from hill towns to seaside cities and from Florence to Positano, Joseph Abbott (builder) trailed the couple, seeking inspiration. On that trip, they found raw materials they would use to erect their masterpiece; they shipped 9 cargo containers backfilled with supplies (toy boxes stocked with intricately carved fireplaces, pale terracotta, hand-hewn limestone, and marble salvaged from manses and estates, some centuries old.).

The living room’s centerpiece is the centuries-old Tuscan fireplace. The stone flooring is from Padua. The herringbone wood flooring was also created using the materials sent from Italy. The movie screening room was a small replica of the Cinema Rialto in Rome. The kitchen maintained an authentic Italian feel with a wood-fired pizza oven.

There are too many details to mention. It was timeless and breathtaking, but it was also not the typical ski residence.

What was the key selling factor?

I believe the appeal of this residence is that it has a truly timeless quality and with regular maintenance or minor changes over time, it will be just as gorgeous 200 years from now as it is today. Despite being a huge estate, it definitely has an atypical style for our ski country geographical location but is a destination in itself.

A huge factor in selling the home was also focusing on the land and lifestyle the estate offers. The family that purchased the estate has a unique background and an energetic spirit. Once they were intrigued by the beauty of the residence and the views, we invited them back for breakfast in the informal dining area overlooking the incredible Sawatch Mountain views. We then took them sledding down the mile and a half private driveway that the estate caretaker prepped for the occasion. The previous owners have done this for years and it was a huge hit with their friends and family. The buyers enjoyed the experience so much that we set up another experience and invited them back for a snowshoe on the private trails. This gave them time to take in the beauty of the landscape and set a foundation for the intimate family memories to come.

Originally the buyers were looking at ski-in/ski-out residences that were more typical in the area but were drawn into this one-of-a-kind home after getting a glimpse into the lifestyle the estate offers. La Favorita is truly a destination in and of itself.

How does this sale impact the future of your team?

Despite being such an incredible home, it was thought of somewhat as tough sell in the marketplace because it was connected to a golf community where the highest sale is not within a comparable sales range and because no buyer had ever spent nearly this amount of money for a residence that was not in the Vail or in Beaver Creek resort neighborhoods. Some felt it was a large price tag given that distance.

Unlike some ski resorts, we don’t have huge acreage of this magnitude located within only a few miles to the ski areas. La Favorita took a bit more creativity in marketing the home to bring the right buyers in. We were able to fully immerse ourselves in the estate because we were fortunate to work with such incredible homeowners that truly partnered with us to make sure we properly understood the residence and portrayed its story. We wanted to make sure that we brought the homeowners and our passion for the estate to the brokerage community and potential buyers.

The post Exquisite Woodland Retreat On Private, Forested Grounds appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

Perched atop 230 acres of vast and pristine land, 1548 Via La Favorita has unprecedented and forever unobstructed 360-degree views, unparalleled privacy, and yet is remarkably close to the Vail Valley’s ski slopes and amenities: less than 15 minutes to the heart of Edwards, 30 minutes to your ski club at the Vail slopes or 35 minutes to hop a jet out of the local airport or Jet Center.

Enter your secured gate and travel up the private 1.5-mile long road, past the caretaker’s cottage and the barn (perfect for horses or additional cars and toys), the waterfall, and over the fairy tale bridge until you reach the portico into a breathtaking 7,000-square-foot courtyard.

While the main house is generously sized, the timeless architecture and authentic materials combine to create a cozy and comfortable feel. Whether inside or out, one is sure to appreciate the miles of private groomed hiking, snowshoeing, ATV and snowmobile trails.

The home’s amenities includes easy to use “smart home” technology, outdoor tennis and basketball, indoor basketball, billiards, private professional-quality cinema for the most demanding critic, 1200 bottle wine room, outdoor heated pool with pool house, miles of manicured private trails, immense exercise room, spa-quality sauna and steam room and outdoor hot-tub/spa complemented by numerous beautiful gardens and a recirculating stream and waterfall.

There is a totally separate caretaker’s house of equivalent quality to the main house, and barn with a six-person bunk room and four stalls that could house four horses (but currently holds snowmobiles, ATVs, and dirt bikes), and room for a heliport if so desired.

There is subdivision potential offering the opportunity to build another full-size estate that is not visible from the main residence including another caretaker’s residence to be used as an additional family residence or to subdivide and sell.
