417 Bear Wallow Way, Silverthorne 3 Bed Home (Sold)

Take advantage of this rare opportunity to own an eco-friendly residence on a premier homesite in Acorn Creek Ranch. Upon arrival, the mountains make an impressive introduction. It soon comes as no surprise that this is where one of the West's most prominent nature photographers chose to construct his personal refuge. Designed to blend in with nature, the exterior is comprised of recycled barn wood and weathered metals.

A detached free standing solar array disguised in the trees, provides for all the current owners electrical needs. The residence is attractively sited on the 20 acre parcel near the ridge at the edge of the spruce and aspen forest, well above the valley floor, with jaw-dropping views directly into the Gore Range and beyond. Here, you will be inspired by the grandeur of the Rocky Mountains while contemplating your day, being simultaneously inspired about the next, simply by your everyday surroundings. Designed by Suzanne Allen-Guerra Architecture to resemble abandoned "nature consumed" mining structures that the photographer had often run across during his work.

Original ideas were formed from a cardboard model mock-up resembling a 19th century ore-stamp mill the owner had come across while cross country skiing outside of Breckenridge. Constructed by BASE Building Solutions out of Breckenridge. Finish highlights include a hundreds year old custom heart of pine front door, patinaed metal baseboards, polished exposed concrete floors, a custom 6 piece his/hers bath and more.
