Description

This unique mountain contemporary home on 2.42 private acres in the coveted Highlands neighborhood, bordered by National Forest, offers unmatched serenity and seclusion. Enjoy panoramic continental divide views from both upper and lower decks and three cozy fireplaces, ideal for year-round entertaining. With interiors by Studio B of Aspen, the home embodies restrained yet elevated design, from the dramatic Shou Sugi Ban black-burnt wood entry to breathtaking vistas that extend fluidly throughout each space. Floor-to-ceiling windows bathe the spaces in natural daylight, reinforcing a seamless connection between inside and out. A calm palette of white walls and bespoke English white oak floors sets a luminous, elegant and inviting tone. Museum-quality walls offer the perfect canvas for showcasing a collector's art, while fine architectural details reflect a dedication to craftsmanship. Anchoring the kitchen is a sculptural, black island topped with honed quartzite--bold and moody. This singular design element echoes the exterior and draws the eye as a natural gathering point. An integrated appliance package makes the space as functional as it is beautiful, including a crisp, white built-in Miele coffee system. Thoughtful lighting from Nordic-inspired pendants to integrated wall and millwork illumination evokes both drama and softness. Affectionately nicknamed the "Scandie Modern Snow Globe" by the owners, this mountain haven offers tranquil wildlife views from nearly every room--an idyllic nature retreat. An exquisitely detailed staircase connects the levels, exemplifying the custom construction that elevates this property far beyond conventional. The great room features vaulted ceilings, and a metal-clad fireplace, engineered for both gas and wood burning. A hot tub, positioned for stargazing, and original 1800s mining cabin on the lower lot offer a true Breckenridge experience. This architectural gem is more than a home--it's a curated alpine modern experience.
