Your Mountain Retreat – Your Refuge – This home is a must see! This home is designed for the art of living well and being well; it is everywhere you want to be - the great outdoors, the mountains, the pine and aspen forests. Here at 9,000 feet in the Colorado Rockies is an awesome panorama of the mountains, sky, and the city below. Working with a national award-winning architect, the owner custom built this home, designed specifically for perfect comfort, minimal maintenance, an allergen free environment (radiant heat), outstanding strength (insulated concrete and steel construction), and exceptional efficiency (geothermal heating). Enter through double hand-carved doors into the open-space living room/dining room/kitchen - a dramatic impression with 27 foot high ceilings, majestic fireplace, and oversized windows that showcase the stunning views. In summer, step out onto the deck - enjoy dinner, taking in all of nature. In winter, cozy up to the blazing fire and sip hot chocolate, watching snow fall outside. In the master bedroom, on the main floor, meditate, watching the moving clouds through the skylights, or at night, watch the star-lit sky. In the bath, the whirlpool tub awaits; relax and get a massage. Upstairs the guests will love their own private master bedrooms/baths. And if they want a little fun, they can go to the walkout basement and enjoy a movie or play a game of pool. If you need an office to work away from distractions, here it is already set up. A concrete basement room offers many uses: a residential safe room, shelter, or a wine cellar and wet bar. You are in the mountains but just 20 minutes to city life, all the amenities, and the many attractions in Manitou and Colorado Springs. If you are looking for space, safety, and a better quality of life, this is your home.
