Only minutes from downtown Ketchum, there is located a one of a kind estate, offering both intimacy and luxury for the perfect Idaho escape. The main house is voluminous in scale, offering 15,000 square feet of opulently appointed living space, yet its sumptuous selection of building materials and surfaces ensures that every room maintains a sense of intimacy and approachable luxury.
The centerpiece of the house is a grand living room flanked by a formal dining room and custom wet bar. This dramatic space is defined by a finely crafted log structure that supports a two-story vaulted ceiling with a stone fireplace rising through its center. Massive windows frame views of the surrounding Boulder Mountains, Griffin Butte and the Bigwood River. The transition flows easily between entertaining spaces that open to the expansive outdoor patio to take in the breathtaking vistas.
Four bedrooms and six baths are discreetly spread over two stories, with meticulously hand-carved woodwork providing a counterpoint of European refinement. Six fireplaces provide warmth throughout the interior, with a central river rock mantel and chimney serving as the foyer focal point.
Situated on almost 12 acres of groomed open land, this majestic estate represents the epitome of gracious Sun Valley living. There is plenty of space for a putting green, pool, or an equestrian facility.
The entire timber frame structure is a testament to the builder's art, and on a scale seldom seen in contemporary or historic buildings. Locally sourced river rock clads the house achieving a perfect blend of color, scale, and texture. According to Associate Broker, Darlene Young “The detail is unparalleled. The level of care in the design emanates throughout the estate to create a sense of warmth rarely found in a property of this scale.” To preview additional photos and learn more visit DarleneYoung.evRealEstate.com
