This beautiful home in Hesperus, Colorado enjoys a beautiful hilltop location. This masterpiece was designed by the highly esteemed Jon Pomeroy, and represents a juxtaposition of man and nature, giving rise to the feeling that your home, and everyone in it, has become one with the vast surrounding mountains.
His use of natural materials is eloquently complemented by the sleek, modern design. The 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.
The luxurious master suite has patio and pool and hot tub access, a walk-in closet, and bathroom laden with exquisite travertine and black slate tile work.
There is also a guest room, of course with a view, and even a guest suite with its own private bathroom, as well as its own walk-in closet.
The kitchen 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.
The infinity edge pool appears to spill into the mountainous wilderness that surrounds you. A workshop room has a sink, and 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. This mountain retreat is listed for $1.499 million with The Wells Group of Durango, an affiliate of Luxury Portfolio International.
