At the base of Vail Mountain just west of Lionshead Village, this residence is a quick five minutes from Vail Village on the bike path and the Cascade chairlift where you can get whisked away to world class skiing on Vail Mountain. Huge wooden beams, a massive stone fireplace and large windows invite you and your guests to relax and enjoy the mountains. Ascend to the upper level living spaces, filled with light from the huge panoramic windows. The chef's kitchen was designed with custom Thurston Kitchen cabinets, and a large island with leathered finished soap stone counters. Professional stainless-steel appliances, a butler's pantry and a huge AGA cast iron cooking range that will ensure that even the most discriminating culinary aficionado will be duly satisfied. The master suite acts like your own lavish treehouse with a sitting area where you can cozy up by a vintage gas fireplace. The master bathroom features custom cabinets and tile by Porcelanosa, Caesarstone counters and Italian-made faucets plus a steam shower, soaking tub, and his/hers walk-in California Closets. The sixth bedroom has been converted into a bar/library. The bar is uniquely designed with reclaimed wood counters from train box car floors and the front and sides are clad in reclaimed whiskey barrel staves, perfect for entertaining or enjoying the big game. Sit back and enjoy a spectacular waterfall with submerged lighting that creates a warm and soothing glow, drawing attention to the feature during the gorgeous mountain sunsets. Cross over the wooden bridge to your hot tub or meander up the waterfall's stepped walls of stone to the upper perch and enjoy surrounding mountain views. Entertain easily with a full backyard kitchen complete with large BBQ, cooktop, sink, wine fridge, dishwasher, and ice maker. The adjacent dining area sits under a shade setting pergola next to a beautiful outdoor fireplace. 1250westhaven.com/?mls
