1184 Discovery Hill Drive
Builder: Apex Mountain Homes
DESCRIPTION:
High above the Swan River valley, near the pine-covered summit of Discovery Hill, stands a home as lofty and majestic as the Ten Mile Range it overlooks. This secluded retreat, built by Apex Mountain Homes, combines the best of grandeur and “green” building. Featuring richly colored moss rock, handhewn log siding, a rusted corrugated metal roof and three barn-style garage doors, the evocative exterior wraps around the home to feature a spacious westward-facing deck. The panoramic vista, ranging from Buffalo Mountain to Peak Ten, is simply breathtaking. The oversize custom Spanish cedar front door welcomes visitors into a space of beauty and elegance. This 7,900-square-foot Breckenridge home is served by a three-floor elevator and features a combination of flagstone and hand planed flooring. Heavily distressed trim runs throughout the home. Wire-brushed, burnt spruce plank ceilings provide rustic elegance. Granite counter tops and elegant faux finishes highlight the interior. From the great room, a flared staircase with curved, hand-peeled handrails descends to a basement recreation center featuring a full-service bar, wine room, fitness room and in-home theater with custom inset projection screen. The basement opens onto a covered, stamped concrete patio with oversize sandstone buttresses.The upper two fl oors feature a home library, an expansive master suite with privacy deck and multiple guest suites with oversize baths. The elegantly appointed kitchen includes a custom inset breakfast nook and massive stone arch framing the industrial grade range. Apex Mountain Breckenridge Homes always builds to the highest environmental standards. This home features spray foam insulation under the basement slab and in all walls and ceilings. The virtually airtight home utilizes a state-of-the-art heat recovery ventilator system to provide fresh air. A high-efficiency, modulating boiler coupled with in-floor heating tubes set in light weight concrete add efficiency. And of course, Pella triple-pane windows and EnergyStar appliances are featured throughout the home. It all adds up to certification as a Built Green Colorado home. Savor the alpine views as you drive up Discovery Hill, then experience the seclusion, serenity and superbly conceived elegance of this Apex Mountain Home.
