A Grand Design for Expansive Living

The sheer scale of this site is immediately apparent. Our team has enjoyed multiple site visits before and during construction to capture some of the beauty of this property with our drone photography. A collection of interconnected structures, including the primary residence and accompanying outbuildings, creates a sense of secluded grandeur and close connection. The exterior, a masterful blend of timber-framed gables, striking stone accents, and expansive windows, seamlessly merges with the surrounding environment while showcasing its architectural thoughtfulness.


A Warm Welcome and Open Concept Living

A soaring vaulted portico marks the entrance, inviting you into a double-height great room. Here, exposed wood beams and panoramic glass walls frame the awe-inspiring mountain vistas, creating a dramatic backdrop. The open-concept layout effortlessly connects the living, dining, and kitchen areas, perfect for intimate gatherings and grand celebrations.
