Situated on a tranquil cul-de-sac within a mature stand of towering aspen trees, this exquisite home borders the White River National Forest while offering convenience to Vail Golf Course/Nordic Center and Vail’s Golden Peak base area. From this highly desirable neighborhood, you can visit iconic amenities including Ford Amphitheater, Betty Ford Alpine Gardens, Vail Nature Center and Vail Village via the free in-town bus.
The home features an impressive natural stone and stucco exterior, oversized timber trusses, oak hardwoods and elegant tile with dozens of authentic imports throughout reminiscent of a European country estate. The main level is grand yet intimate with a mixture of ornate details and eclectic finishes that feel collected over time.
"1538 Spring Hill Lane was built by the current owners to entertain friends and family," says Tye Stockton, founder and global real estate advisor at The Stockton Group, Compass. "From its inspiring great room with a towering ceiling and a fully stocked old-world bar to the expansive exterior space, this home offers close proximity to Vail Village and the world-renowned ski slopes. The timeless architecture was created to welcome family and friends for years to come."
The layout allows for entertaining with ease, thanks to an octagonal-shaped great room with a stone fireplace, towering windows framing woodland views and unique copper/leather-topped bar. The kitchen and adjacent sitting room emanate a cozy farmhouse appeal with gourmet appliances, an elongated center island, a deep stone sink and a hearth-warming fireplace.
The main hall shares multiple opportunities to access the sprawling stone patio and expertly landscaped yard while connecting two large ensuite bedrooms each with outdoor entries. Half-spiral, wide-plank stairs lead to upper and lower levels with stately views of the surrounding forest.
"One of the great features of this timeless single-family home is the beautiful and private outdoor spaces which back up to National Forest Service, ensuring privacy and tranquility in perpetuity. The towering aspens and evergreens make for an idyllic setting for long summer evenings and winter wonderlands in the winter months," Tye says.
The upstairs offers a large loft office overlooking the kitchen sitting area and a secluded rooftop patio. At one end of the hall, a pair of whimsical wooden doors open to expose an indoor balcony above the great room below, while the opposite end leads to the primary suite featuring dual ensuite bathrooms, separate walk-in closets and a private balcony. The lower level provides a large guest suite with fireplace, kitchenette and quiet patio, in addition to a rec room, laundry/utility room, secondary kitchen for overflow entertaining, an oversized two-car garage and elevator.
