As long summer nights slowly begin
to fade into crisp autumn afternoons, Colorado flaunts its natural
splendor with a vibrant display of fall foliage and clear blue
skies. Magnificent shades of red, yellow, and orange consume the
expansive Rocky Mountain terrain, marking a beautiful beginning to
the season. Locals embrace the change, as the milder temperatures
provide perfect conditions to venture outdoors. In Colorado, fall
is the time to experience some of the the worlds best hiking,
climbing, rafting, mountaineering, and fly-fishing. In a state
where year-round outdoor adventures are at your fingertips, the
town of Telluride isall
encompassing.
Surrounded by the mastadon peaks of the Rocky Mountains,
Telluride sits in a box canyon, nestled quietly away from the
hustle and bustle of the outside world. A former Victorian mining
town, today it is known for its world-famous festivals and highly
regarded ski resort. In the warmer months, people flock from all
over the world for festival fun, and in the winter they come
itching to experience endless powder runs, scenic mountain views,
and remarkable back-country terrain.
Remotely located with a small
population, this historic mountain town is thriving with energy.
Home to the Telluride Film Festival, it has become a destination
for the arts and a low-key Hollywood hot-spot. Its unrelenting
natural beauty and vibrant culture have inspired many well-known
names to adopt it as the ideal spot for a second home.
Situated among towering spruce trees
on the trailside of the Telluride Ski Resort, this beautiful,
custom-crafted residence creates a dramatic yet tranquil mountain
retreat. Designed by architect Michael Fuller, the home was
Inspired by traditional Japanese farmhouse architecture. Immaculate
details crafted with hand tools give shape to various rare and
rugged materials throughout the house, and the open layout employs
the calming principles of Feng Shui.
Directly sourced from a Japanese
temple, hand-hewn fir timbers are positioned to frame awe-inspiring
views of the surrounding mountain peaks. Clean interior lines
throughout the home have been created with rich hardwoods, plaster,
limestone, and quarried rock from China. Its distinctive woodwork,
massive signature beams, and sliding shoji doors display
exceptional levels of detail and timeless craftsmanship. A truly
serene mountain hideaway, this Telluride home is a combination of
sheer elegance and expert artistry.
