Gold medal fly fishing in the famous Frying Pan River is just a few steps outside your door with a fire pit near the water to warm your hands on chilly mornings. Take an afternoon bike ride to downtown Basalt just 10 minutes away or ride up to Ruedi Reservoir for a little more exercise. With National Forest adjacent to this 10-acre property, hunting, hiking or horseback riding is a breeze on many nearby trails. A brand new home and guest house offer gracious living in true Colorado style. Barnwood and stone exteriors plus award-winning "green" features make this property feel unpretentious.
The reclaimed barnwood and stone 5,019 square foot main house with its 4 bedrooms, 4-1/2 baths and 3-car garage features diamond plaster walls, structural timber beams circa 1860 from the Stonewall Jackson Building in Tupelo, Mississippi, 1000-year old reclaimed Jerusalem stone, wide planked white oak floors and more. A recreation room complete with full wet bar and room for pool table opens into a large home theater, while children have their own family room in their wing. The guest suite leads to a patio overlooking the river. Opening to a flagstone patio overlooking the river, the master suite offers serenity and bath includes a copper tub and rain head in the shower. Entertaining is a delight with a wine cooler in the butler's pantry, gourmet kitchen and open dining and great room. More informal dining and relaxing can be enjoyed on the covered deck with it's own fireplace.
Surprisingly large, the 1,898 square foot 3-bedroom, 2-1/2 bath guest home is the same great quality as the main house and features its own fireplace, 2nd fire pit and 1-car garage. Set back from the main house and separated by a stream, this property enjoys maximum privacy. Horses and a barn are permitted as well if that is your passion.
