Cozy Fireside Spaces

In the great room of The Tipple House, reclaimed timber beams and floor-to-ceiling stone walls create a richly layered setting that frames a commanding fireplace, creating a gathering space that feels as timeless as it is inviting.

 

 

At 1251 Skyland Drive, fall is experienced through both architecture and ambiance. Throughout the home, multiple custom fireplaces— including an oversized stone fireplace which anchors the vaulted great room and a dramatic floating metal hearth in the media room—create intimate pockets of comfort, ideal for entertaining guests or savoring quiet evenings as temperatures drop.

 

 

The great room of 783 Forest Lane is the heart of the home, with soaring ceilings, reclaimed oak floors, and a natural stone fireplace that creates an inviting environment for the entire family. A custom wet bar ensures these gatherings never tire of conversation, wine (or hot chocolate!), and warmth.

 

Fall Foliage Views

 

 

The expansive west-facing balcony of 1251 Skyland Drive offers a front-row seat to the saturated hues of fall sunsets, where mountain silhouettes sharpen against vibrant skies. A double-sided fireplace provides warmth for the crisp evenings with an enclosed sunroom on the other side to enjoy the dramatic views when temperatures really drop.

 

 

 

The Tipple House is named after its tipple-inspired glass observatory offering a front-row seat to nature’s seasonal spectacle—360 degrees of mountains cloaked in vibrant gold aspen. Whether taking in the view over morning coffee or watching the evening alpenglow, the observatory makes every moment in fall feel cinematic.

 

 

 

In the sought-after Larkspur neighborhood, 330 Larkspur Loop combines contemporary mountain design with the serenity of its pond-side setting. Fall brings the property into its fullest expression: expansive windows frame views of Mt. Crested Butte, Whetstone, and Red Lady, their slopes alive with gold aspens reflected in Larkspur Pond below.

 

 

Nestled within an aspen grove in the Skyland community, 783 Forest Lane feels especially enchanting in fall as the golden hue of the season literally surrounds you. Vaulted spaces, large windows, and multiple balconies invite the outdoors in effortlessly.
