This splendid and sprawling mountain estate on exclusive Holden Road is like two extended family homes in one. It shines with contemporarily classic epic grandeur, boasts a predictably traditional charm with a wholly refined sense of beauty. The sanctuary-like property shines bright with it’s Cathedral-esque high vaulted ceilings and wooden beamed roof, the outside light illuminating the elegant and distinctive decor in the great room. Large A-framed windows wrap around the living expanse, looking out into a natural world of plentiful Aspen groves on parade, exhibiting spectacular, unobstructed views of Beaver Creek mountain. There’s a distinguishing wooden mantle framed hearth gas fireplace that grounds the living space with a baseline of warmth and welcome. The glorious Viennese inspired chandelier centered in the middle of the open space, adds a surprising touch of European artistry to the Bavarian inspired chateau. The considerable gourmet kitchen is complete with everything imaginable and a breakfast nook to boot. The towering staircase winds from the lower level, which serves as an entirely separate residence, spiraling to its peak in the upper master suite. Baby friendly, family friendly, there’s a whole storage closet stocked with baby accoutrement including highchair, bouncy cradle and crib. A spacious garage with Ping Pong table. Bells at the front door herald your arrival into the inviting stone foyer. Everything here at Holden 803 is substantial. Even the driveway is long and meandering offering plenty of parking for your whole entourage.
