Perched on the hillside just above Old Town Basalt, this home is a first of its kind in the mid-valley—bringing Aspen-caliber design and craftsmanship to one of the Roaring Fork Valley’s most coveted settings. It is a study in balance: the precision of next-generation building technology paired with the timeless priorities of mountain living—gathering, hospitality, and a deep connection to the outdoors.
Energy performance shaped every decision. Fully electric and built to exacting efficiency standards, the home pairs high-performance products with materials chosen for their warmth and character, proving that sustainability and beauty are not competing goals. The front portion of the residence was realized using precision-engineered panels supplied by Phoenix Haus, while the balance was built using traditional methods—two construction philosophies, old and new, joined by a glass bridge that frames the landscape and keeps the home in constant dialogue with its site.
At its heart, the home is built for connection. Life centers on the kitchen, where cooking and conversation flow naturally into the living spaces and out to the patios beyond. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the gathering rooms with a sense of permanence and ritual, a deliberate nod to tradition in a thoroughly modern house. Expansive glass walls, generous outdoor terraces, and carefully composed sightlines dissolve the line between inside and out, drawing the surrounding valley into everyday life.
The experience culminates on the rooftop. Accessed directly off the primary suite, a private roof deck opens to sweeping, unobstructed views—Mt. Sopris commanding the horizon by day, an extraordinary canopy of stars overhead by night. It is the kind of vantage point that defines a home, and one that few in the valley can claim.
Here, innovation and tradition don’t compete—they elevate one another, creating a residence as forward-thinking as it is deeply rooted in place.
