This gorgeous countryside estate is nearing completion. The use of stone both inside and out as well as incorporating organic soft shapes in the interior cased openings has given this home a warm inviting feel.
Since this residence encompasses an extensive entertainment basement which includes a 20’-0” tall under ground sports court as well as two accessory buildings and pool, it will make for the perfect retreat for entertaining and raising a family.

What goes into a modern mountain home?

Floor-to-ceiling windows that fill the home with natural light. Natural wood and stone that create timeless character. Earth-inspired colors that bring a sense of calm. Clean, functional furnishings that keep the space uncluttered while feeling warm and inviting.

Every one of these elements comes together in ESC's newest home, now featured on our website.
