Surrounded by aspen groves on a beautiful mountain setting, this stunning contemporary estate is situated on 8 acres on the edge of wilderness with spectacular views and gorgeous landscaping. Extensively remodeled in 2012, the ultra-luxury home is evocative of Frank Lloyd Wright's design influences with superior craftsmanship and premium materials. Originally designed by renowned architect Charles Cunniffe and constructed by premier builder Iglehart Construction, the exterior and circular entry drive with porte-cochere are dressed with stone, wood, copper, and glass which open to almost 14,000 square feet of heated living space. The grandeur of the magnificent great room is accentuated by 25 foot vaulted cherry ceilings, a massive stone fireplace, and floor-to-ceiling windows - it is a dramatic space that introduces incredible nuances of texture, light, and views. Family and guests will be comfortable in the 9 en suite bedrooms (including a caretaker apartment) of which three have gas fireplaces, five have his and her vanities, and two have soaring pyramid ceilings with exquisite detail lighting and an attached entertainment lounge with a 24 foot "L" couch, 65" Sony LCD HDTV with surround sound, gas fireplace, and refrigerator. A refined bar accented with leather and ebony provides a gathering place for both intimate and large-scale socializing, and French limestone floors lead outdoors to a cascading reflecting pond, 5 stone patios, two spas, enormous gas fire pit, and oversized built-in BBQ. Additional features include 3 half baths, a gourmet kitchen with attached family room with a 33 foot "L" couch and a 65" LCD HDTV, radiant heat, air conditioning, humidification system, comprehensive security system, entertainment system with surround sound, private elevator to the master suite, and a 3 car garage with generous storage space. Superlatives are simply inadequate to describe the sublime alchemy that occurs when high mountain grandeur meets an architecture that connects. This is a one of a kind peaceful haven with abundant wildlife, yet just 10 minutes to downtown Aspen! Located in the Eagle Pines subdivision, a private enclave of only ten estates resting 500 feet above the city with ski-in/out access to Buttermilk Mountain and the Owl Creek Nordic Trail. www.WestButtermilkHome.com Originally $19,900,000 Now $14,995,000 Furnished www.WestButtermilkHome.com
