It is located in Evergreen, Colorado just 30 minutes west of downtown Denver and within an hour of Denver International Airport. Shopping, dining, medical and other conveniences are minutes away. Skiing, boating and mountain recreation lies less than an hour from the home.
"Above the Clouds" was the winner of the coveted HBA BAR Award for "Best custom home over 7,000 square feet" in 2000. The home is built into the mountainside and is an original masterpiece with attention to every detail.
The property consists of over 30 acres of land boasting wildflowers, Ponderosa, Fir and Aspen with massive moss rock granite crags and boulders. A pillared entry features a surveillance camera, speaker, and electronically controlled vertical lift gate guarding the ? mile-long boulder and tree-lined paved driveway. As you approach the house, you notice that the low maintenance stucco and stone structure completely captures and compliments the site's natural beauty and pristine mountain setting.
From the guest parking area, you walk past a stocked trout pond and alongside the 100-foot long steam. Just past the waterfall is a stone entryway and double, 8-foot, custom cherry and glass entry doors. You will notice that the exterior's large natural granite moss rock outcroppings continue into and through the Foyer, Entry and Great Room. The interior outcroppings have been transformed into four water features with 15-foot waterfalls cascading into four ponds. There is an interior Koi fish pond complete with a viewing window from the Great Room.
The Great Room features a large, circular fireplace creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The well-appointed kitchen is adjacent to the Great Room and has its own deck access. Perfect for entertaining. Massive beams compliment the 28-foot ceilings and blend with the two massive glass roofs above the interior rocks and waterfalls. Bamboo floors add warmth and character to the large gallery area that leads to the Master Bedroom. The luxurious master suite has a two-sided fireplace, an expansive bath and generous closet space.
