If simplicity is the ultimate in sophistication, then this home in Old Snowmass is idyllic. Quietly set on 18 acres of rolling meadows (not too far up Snowmass Creek Road), a low-profile,, high design, linear home sits discreetly poised in the contour of the land. Its simplicity is striking. And timeless. The pastoral setting is punctuated by a pond and the sounds of a stream and nearby Snowmass Creek with the Elk Mountains as the backdrop. The property includes coveted water rights from the Stewart Ditch. Connection with the natural surroundings In keeping with the landscape, a grated drive leads to the home where an open breezeway connects the main living areas with the guest wing. Ingeniously designed by Studio B Architects and built by Maley Building Corporation, once inside the home, you never lose connection with the natural surroundings. Every room features mountain views. An incredible lightness and calm pervade the spacious open living, dining and kitchen area with floor-to-ceiling windows.. An enviable space for entertaining, a sleek 15-foot bar counter separates the open kitchen from the living and dining space with wet bar and wine cooler, as well as a contemporary gas fireplace. Take the party outside--glass doors open to covered outdoor areas with surrounding gardens. The expansive windows in the extraordinarily private Primary Suite create a seamless connection with nature and fill the room with natural light. Nod off to the glow of the linear gas fireplace or sunset. You will know if it's a ski day when you wake up to views of the Cirque on Snowmass Mountain. The spacious Zen-like bath is just what you want to come home to after a day on the slopes. Refresh in the spacious marble-tiled shower or relax in the sleek free-standing soaking tub. Adjacent to the bath, a dressing area features built-in shelving and dressers. The lower-level media room with a bath is a flexible space that can accommodate overflow guests. A laundry room complete with cabinetry and laundry sink is on this level, as well. Guests will appreciate the peacefulness, privacy and convenience of the efficiently designed guest wing with two light and airy ensuite bedrooms. Custom doors in the entry area stealthily hide a small kitchen complete with a full range and oven, refrigerator/freezer, and cabinets for storage. Both suites are filled with natural light and look out to mountain views with one opening to the outdoor patio and gardens. Each bath features glass-enclosed showers with contemporary white tile.
