About this home
Welcome to a world where alpine elegance meets contemporary sophistication. Perched gracefully in the heart of West Vail, this exclusive mountain chalet offers a rare blend of architectural brilliance and serene natural beauty. Every angle of the home captures the grandeur of the Rockies—panoramic forest views, whispering pines, and the peaceful sound of Buffehr Creek just beyond the terrace. From the moment you arrive, you’ll feel the seamless harmony between the rugged landscape and the refined design that defines this exceptional retreat.
Step inside and discover an atmosphere of quiet luxury. Zinc panels, limestone blocks, and clear cedar siding come together to create a façade that is both striking and timeless. The living room opens effortlessly to a private courtyard, allowing light and mountain air to flow through every space. Whether you’re hosting an elegant dinner or simply enjoying a glass of wine by the fire, the open concept design ensures that every moment feels intimate yet grand. This is a home designed for connection—between guests, between nature and comfort, and between tranquility and celebration.
The kitchen, positioned thoughtfully between two living areas, is the heart of the home. Its layout invites conversation and creativity, with top-tier appliances and an inviting warmth that makes every meal a shared experience. Morning coffee becomes a ritual with sunlight spilling across polished countertops, while evenings invite laughter, stories, and the aroma of a home-cooked feast drifting through the air. It’s a space where families gather, friends reconnect, and the pleasures of mountain living are savored in full.
Upstairs, the sanctuary continues. Each bedroom has been designed as a private retreat, offering the perfect balance of comfort, elegance, and tranquility. The primary suite features a king bed, ensuite steam shower, and cozy seating area—a perfect refuge after a day on the slopes. Guest rooms open to patios that frame the natural beauty of Vail, where you can step outside to greet the morning mist or watch the stars emerge in the crisp mountain night. Every detail—from plush linens to bespoke furnishings—reflects a commitment to understated luxury.
Downstairs, the mood shifts from relaxation to recreation. The game room invites friendly competition with its pool table, darts, and wet bar—ideal for evenings spent in laughter and leisure. For those who wish to maintain their wellness routine, a private gym ensures that every workout comes with a view. The lower level’s in-law suite offers an additional layer of privacy and convenience, complete with its own kitchen, living area, and bedroom accommodations. It’s a thoughtful design that welcomes groups of all kinds—families, friends, or multi-generational gatherings seeking comfort and autonomy under one roof.
The outdoor spaces elevate the experience even further. The pool, available year-round, mirrors the sky above and offers a stunning place to unwind after a day of adventure. In winter, as snowflakes drift softly from the trees, the hot tub becomes a sanctuary of warmth and wonder—a moment of quiet luxury in nature’s embrace. Here, every season tells a story, and every stay becomes a memory.
This home isn’t just a place to stay—it’s an invitation to live beautifully. The surrounding forest provides privacy and peace, while the modern amenities ensure every desire is met with ease. Whether it’s the soft glow of sunset over the mountains or the gentle hum of conversation by the fire, every element has been curated to create a sense of belonging, relaxation, and indulgence.
At Emerald Kite hospitality is an art form. Every detail of your stay is anticipated and personalized, ensuring that your experience is as effortless as it is extraordinary. Our local team in Vail brings decades of expertise and passion to each guest interaction, crafting a standard of care that rivals the world’s finest resorts.
