THIS IS NOT A HOUSE TO SEE, THIS IS A HOME TO EXPERIENCE! Talk about sitting on top of the world. This masterpiece was designed by the highly esteemed Jon Pomeroy, who Durango magazine names as "A major contributor to the physical appearance of Durango today". He embraces the juxtaposition of man and nature, giving rise to the feeling that your home, and everyone in it, has become one with the vast mountains that seem to swathe your very being. His use of natural materials is eloquently complemented by the sleek, modern midcentury design. The continually flowing indoor outdoor bright living space, and enormous windows and decks throughout, were brilliantly planned to take full advantage of the awe inspiring views as well as the light. The 35 acres and placement of the home was meticulously chosen to maximize southern exposure, which gives you sun in the winter and shade in the summer. It is truly heavenly, not just the home and the immense beauty that envelops it, but how you feel as you breathe it all in. You will absolutely love entertaining here. Aside from the luxurious master suite with its patio and pool and hot tub access, walk in closet built for a queen, and bathroom laden with exquisite travertine and black slate tile work that you can admire while you are relaxing in the Asian inspired soaking tub. There is also a guest room, of course with a view, and even a guest suite with its own private bath, as well as its own walk-in closet. While entertaining food prep will be a breeze in your new gorgeous kitchen that has double ovens, a gas cooktop with a chic custom hood, trash compactor, dishwasher, newly installed countertops, a coffee bar and a large pantry with wine fridge and even a second refrigerator where you can keep the appetizers you made that morning. While you are preparing your feast your friends can sit by the newly tiled fireplace, that was recently converted to be gas or wood fired, and enjoy the breathtaking views from the wall of glass in your great room while they leaf through your coffee table book, “Pomeroy Brothers Architects”, featuring your home's architect's revolutionary work. After the meal you can soak in the views of the majestic Rocky Mountains while soaking in the hot tub listening to its waterfall with a nice glass of wine, or perhaps some of your friends would prefer to crack a beer (or juice box) and take a dip in the brand new, state of the art infinity edge pool that seamlessly appears to spill into the mountainous wilderness that surrounds you. There are so many unique treasures that will steal your heart and keep your creative wheels turning. Everything from hidden built in cabinets, to an elevator that can help you accommodate everyone. There is gorgeous custom glass etching in the master and hall bath windows, all new landscaping, newly added air conditioners, a 3 car garage, the list goes on and on. There is a workshop room complete with a sink, another large room with a view that would make a nice office where you can take a coffee break with your dog on the covered porch just outside that leads to newly installed grass yard. Upstairs is additional living space with an absolutely stunning 180 degree view of the Rocky Mountains and 8,000ft sandstone buttes. The options with these spaces are absolutely endless, but nothing compares to the unique gorgeous brilliance of this home nestled in and among the mountaintops where you could live on top of the world almost floating in heaven.

The most incredible "Million Dollar" Rocky Mountain views one can imagine are visible from this residence designed by award winning architect, Jon Pomeroy. The primary objectives of the design were taking advantage of the expansive views, creating a wide open floor plan with a modern mountain home feeling & using natural materials with a continuous indoor outdoor living space. "A SoHo Loft meets Rocky Mountain Modern"! The 35 acre site was carefully chosen to take advantage of the Southern exposure allowing for shade in the summer and sun in the winter and to provide harmony with the natural landscape dotted with ancient Juniper and Cedar trees. The winding steps, thru native plants, leads you to the entry and a gallery wall thru to the large great room with commanding views not just of the mountains but also the sandstone buttes rising to more than 8000 feet visible from the dining room and patio. The custom stone faced fireplace is flanked by views and the hidden built-in television and cabinetry. The dining area windows frame a treetop view. A large built in buffet with granite top and 10 drawers enhances this space The master suite featuring a private patio, huge walk-in closet laundry and bath is located a few steps down from the great room and is totally private. The bath features an Asian inspired soaking tub, large walk in shower, double sinks and an amazing amount of storage. The tile work includes travertine and black slate. Amazing views here as well. The kitchen takes advantage of the views to the North. The granite topped cherry island provides seating to take in the views. I know this keeps saying VIEWS but they are everywhere!! The kitchen features double ovens, a gas cook top with a grill and custom hood, trash compactor, dishwasher and a coffee bar. Adjacent is a large pantry with wine fridge and a second refrigerator. At the far end of the main floor you'll find a lovely powder room, elevator, fitness room which has a closet so we are considering it as the 3rd bedroom. And, the guest suite, larger than the master and featuring a sitting area with sofa and tv area, lovely bath and walk-in closet. Also on this level, a craft room with a sink (easily converted to a kitchenette), a large room currently used as an office also with a sink and views. This room has access to a covered porch leading to a large enclosed dog pen. The use of all of these rooms could be very flexible. Up one flight of stairs is a huge room suitable for an office, game room, tv room or whatever complete with large walk in storage closet. The windows in this room provide a 180 view of the Rocky Mountains. The over- sized garage allows for 3 cars and has loads of storage. Many more features in the addendum.
