Todd R Schroedel, United Country Sneffels Realty, C: 970-318-2160, [email protected], http://www.toddssneffelsrealty.com: As you reflect on your life's most significant accomplishments, what comes to mind? Was it a career milestone? Or maybe the most rewarding accomplishment was raising your loving family? Situated on 40 pristine acres atop the Skyline Drive Ridge, within the exclusive gated community of Park Estates between the idyllic towns of Ouray and Ridgway, and only one-hour from Telluride, stands a testament to achievement—a breathtaking Mountain-modern masterpiece. This exceptional residence is the culmination of a collaboration between a devoted couple, the visionary late architect Doug Macfarlane, master builder - Dan Daley, and a team of exceptionally skilled local artisans. Located in Colorado’s San Juan Mountains, the property enjoys year-round access, privacy, a sunny south-facing exposure, and most importantly, amazing views; including the unequalled view of majestic 14,150' Mount Sneffel’s imposing north face and its iconic couloir.  This dream property offers hiking and hunting, right from the doorstep.  Park Estates is an alpine mountain community composed entirely of 35-plus acre parcels, with private access to the National Forest and 13 miles of snow-plowed private roads.This extraordinary home pays homage to the rich mining heritage of Ouray County, seamlessly blending modern luxury with rustic charm.  Laid out across three levels amidst towering Ponderosa pine trees, the residence artfully frames Mount Sneffels, a constant presence in nearly every room, most notably in the soaring 22-foot great room. The home boasts two exceptionally private 5-piece master suites, one on the main floor and another on the lower level, along with a third ensuite on the lower level. Additionally, a fourth bedroom and bathroom, a kid's bedroom/playroom, and a loft on the third level provide ample space. Powder rooms are conveniently located on the main and lower levels, and the home comfortably accommodates 8 adults and 8 children. The exquisite materials used in the residence are the perfect blend of stone, steel, wood, and plaster.  Over 30,000 board feet of reclaimed barnwood from historic barns across the United States find a new purpose within the home. The antique oak circle-sawn flooring hails from Missouri, Ohio, and Kentucky, lending a timeless character to the interior.  Antique long-leaf pine is featured in most of the ceilings, wainscot, window, and door trim. A testament to local craftsmanship, the masonry work is a labor of love, brought to life by the skilled hands of stone mason Scott Taylor.  The awe-inspiring, over-sized Douglas-fir timbers were carefully sourced from Washington State and British Columbia. Inset doors are featured in all the cabinetry, including the exquisite antique white oak barnwood gourmet kitchen cabinets.  Throughout the residence, the warmth of barnwood beautifully contrasts with the clean, sophisticated lines of the easy-to-maintain, white Variance plaster.Beyond the main residence, the detached garage and studio, thoughtful landscaping, charming children's playhouse, and an inviting firepit all reflect the same unwavering commitment to artistry and care that define this exceptional property.Discover this remarkable achievement and make it a part of your own legacy.
