It is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to call the top of the world home. To truly understand the exceptional uniqueness of this estate, one must understand the story of its construction and the uniqueness of the amenities for a Red Mountain home. The estate took over five years to construct. The first year and a half were simply spent removing 400,000 tons of Redstone, Sandstone, and Granite from the site. The stone materials were then used to construct the interior floors and walls, facings, retaining walls, balconies, and terraces, giving the home a seamless connection to the land it sits on. Even casual inspection will reveal fossil imprints that date back some 80 million years, the date when the current Rocky Mountains were formed. Despite its grand size, the estate, with its myriad of natural hues, magically blends into the Red Mountain hillside with timeless elegance. The quiet interior of the home was re-designed by the esteemed David Easton. The house incorporates old-world pine paneling, 150-year-old heart pine floors, and a custom oversized limestone fireplace. There is a show-stopping hand build wood staircase in the great room and dining area. Easton used distinct fabrics, lighting, handmade Austrian hardware, and specialized finishes to add warmth to the natural wood & stone materials. Libraries and comfortable seating areas adorn the great room, and floor-to-ceiling windows provide panoramic views. Whether contemplatively taking in the views or entertaining guests, everyone is sure to be comfortable with radiant floor heat and central air conditioning. The Peak House has several thoughtful spaces for dining to accommodate grand entertaining or intimate family meals. The formal dining room is open to the great room, affording spaciousness and permitting full views of the mountains. Next to the formal dining area is a candle-light Wine Cave with hand-painted murals that can seat additional guests. The wine cave holds 750 bottles of wine and has additional storage for dishes and glassware. These two dining areas allow for more intimate groups, one open to mountain views, and the other enclosed for total privacy and romance. For informal meals, there are two outdoor dining areas with beautiful sunset views, and several areas within the kitchen. There are endless opportunities for entertaining and hosting within this home. In the middle of the house is the Conservatory (or Garden Room).

Skylights welcome sun into the home and gives life to abundant greenery and flowers, and emanates coveted humidity into its arid environment, year-round, offering an ideal place to swim indoors, enjoy afternoon tea, or have candlelight suppers under starry mountain skies.
