Nestled within the premier, secure gates of Governors Club, this custom-built luxury estate perfectly blends sophisticated open-concept living with the serene ambiance of a mountain resort. From the moment you step through the front door, you are greeted by a dramatic, sun-drenched two-story entry foyer and a spectacular living room, anchored by a towering, stone fireplace that serves as the heart of the home. Designed for effortless modern living, the main level features a fluid, open floor plan that effortlessly connects the main living space to the chef's kitchen and formal dining areas. To the left of the entrance, a charming, casual seating room offers the perfect quiet sanctuary for your morning coffee or an afternoon curled up with a good book. The spectacular primary retreat is a masterclass in luxury, providing a sprawling layout with generous space for a king-sized bed and lounge area. The primary suite connects to an oversized, spa-like bathroom where the true focal point is a beautiful, free-standing soaking tub positioned to face out towards the exceptionally private side yard. The main level also features an additional, spacious guest bedroom, ideal for visitors. Head upstairs to find two more beautifully appointed, bright bedrooms sharing a cleanly designed, connected bathroom. This level also features a flex room, ideal for a private executive home office or a vibrant media/bonus room. The lower level is where this property elevates to unmatched functionality. Perfectly designed for entertainment and lifestyle versatility, it currently functions as a massive recreation space with ample room for an entertaining area and an additional home office workspace. Looking for an independent living solution? With a minor upfit, this entire lower level can effortlessly transform into a fully independent in-law, au pair, personal care assistant suite, as it already boasts a private bedroom, a large living area, and a full bathroom—it simply awaits your choice of a kitchenette! Tucked away on this level is also a vast storage room and a walk-in wine cellar.
