Recently Completed New Construction Elevates the Bar for Luxury Living in Steamboat Springs
In a creative design that blends elements of traditional mountain homes with contemporary splashes, Sunset Retreat, a stunning custom market home in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, puts the best of alpine living at your doorstep.
A secluded stretch of the aptly named Panorama Drive leads to the 5,600 square-foot Colorado mountain transitional home, which sits on a 5-acre parcel of land inside Steamboat’s exclusive Alpine Mountain Ranch & Club.
“The centerpiece as you approach the home is the barreled roofs,” says Ralph Walton, who along with Cam Boyd and Pam Vanatta of Steamboat Sotheby’s International Realty, are listing the property. “That contemporary design complements the traditional pitched gables and gives the home a remarkable look that mimics the Colorado mountain landscape.”
Inside, floor-to-ceiling windows frame dramatic, 180-degree views of the South Yampa Valley, the Flat Tops and Emerald Mountain.
Natural light floods the main floor, which features a spacious great room, beautiful kitchen, and a dining room large enough to accommodate a table of 14.
Just like the exterior, traditional and modern touches blend seamlessly.
“There are exposed beams and hardwood floors throughout the home,” says Vanatta, who has lived in Steamboat for more than three decades. “But then there are the massive windows, clean lines, open spaces, and neutral colors of a modern mountain home.”
Off the great room is an outdoor living space, which even connects to a countertop in the kitchen via a sliding window, making entertaining a breeze.
The master suite also is on the main level, with the focal point being the corner windows that bring the grandeur of the Rocky Mountains in. More views – along with his and her floating vanities and quartz countertops – are found in the bathroom. A side room could be used for an office or home gym.
Three more bedrooms – each with its own bathroom – and a family room are on the lower level. There is a three-car garage and a studio-style casita with its own entrance, perfect for guests or a man/woman cave. Sunset Retreat is listed at $4,995,000.
“You can’t talk about the totality of the home without thinking about how you’re actually going to live here,” says Boyd, co-owner of Sotheby’s International Realty. “That’s where Alpine Mountain Ranch & Club comes into play. You can customize your lifestyle anyway you want.”
AMRC, a 1,200-acre ranch community, sits just seven minutes from downtown and seven minutes from Steamboat Ski Resort. The ranch is divided into 63, 5-acre parcels, with 900 acres specifically designated as wildlife preserve.
“Where Sunset Retreat is located, you feel like you’re alone, floating above the valley,” Walton says. “You’re away from all of the hubbub in town, yet close enough for dining, the rodeo, or skiing.”
Speaking of skiing, AMRC homeowners have exclusive access to membership benefits at Alpine Mountain Summit Club, the premier slope-side club located in One Steamboat Place.
Another perk of AMRC ownership is access to a private 1.5-mile stretch of the Yampa River, renowned for its gold-medal trout fishing. There’s also an on-site lake for fishing, paddle boarding, or relaxing on the dock enjoying the views.
A community barn houses equestrian facilities, and there’s an owners’ lodge, a guest cabin, and a private backcountry retreat on the property as well. More than 5 miles of trails weave throughout AMRC, and neighboring Catamount golf course is accessible by a cart path.
“The lifestyle elements of AMRC are central to this home,” Boyd says. “There are options for your family and friends year round – not only at your new home, but in the amazing community of Steamboat Springs. Imagine the memories that can be made here.”
