2150 Daybreak Ridge Road

2150 Daybreak Ridge – Premier Beaver Creek Property and Views

This palatial alpine estate situated on the defining ridge between Beaver Creek and Bachelor Gulch features stunning westerly mountain views and authentic European interior refinements selectively curated over a decade’s time. Tucked into the mountainside, the ski accessible home overlooks Bachelor Gulch village and offers mountain trail entry/exit via the meandering neighborhood homeowner “skiways”.

With a deep respect for artesian design, this home elevates the purity of Craftsman-inspired architecture and an appreciation for nature with genuine materials thoughtfully selected for an exquisite representation. Highlights include reclaimed ash siding, milled and delivered from original east-coast structures, indigenous stone, a split shaker roof with copper flashing, and oversized eaves with distinctive elements. Multiple outdoor spaces encourage gathering and connection with the surrounding landscape featuring 2,000 square feet of heated exterior entertaining areas with two gas fireplaces, a large wood-burning fire pit, sunken hot tub, and an outdoor Viking kitchen. Central to this experience are an expansive main-level wrap around deck and secluded rooftop veranda, both with heated flagstone underfoot, situated intentionally for the enjoyment of glorious year-round mountaintop sunsets.

The impressive entrance celebrates the forested land with a grand bridge and pergola that cross over a stunning outdoor water feature flowing through native landscaping from the home’s upper level, wandering down and around to a terminus at the covered, outdoor dining area with heaters. On the main level, an open welcoming floorplan showcases panoramic mountain vistas with sophisticated floor-to-ceiling finishes that indicate the home’s impeccable quality. In particular, the intricate black walnut hand-crafted ceilings, created by an on-site master carpenter, are a marvel to behold. Newly refinished black walnut hardwood floors compliment the elegant Venetian Plaster walls and carefully curated antique lighting throughout.

The entry foyer makes an immediate impression with a custom-commissioned chandelier and two flanking exterior decks that overlook the cascading water feature. The subsequent great room showcases sweeping alpine views with access to the main level deck overlooking Bachelor Gulch, and a stately fireplace. The great room opens to a heated exterior dining terrace with wood burning fireplace for a more intimate and natural dining experience. While in the distinguished formal dining area, a magnificent chandelier acquired from a 17th century Roman mosque, hangs gracefully over an extraordinary dining table, crafted from one solid piece of Brazilian cherry wood. Providing gracious ambiance, a double-sided fireplace is shared with the adjoining gourmet kitchen, and a unique built-in-place buffet is a storage friendly, two-sided design that ascends to the living room below, further connecting the multi-level great room.

The sprawling double kitchen offers two complete professional spaces blended by design. Central to this epicurean delight is a traditional pizza oven crafted with authentic Chicago bricks surrounding a 2,500-year-old center brick acquired from the Roman Coliseum. Additional finishes include a 16-burner LA Cornue French stove and double oven, a refinished and repurposed antique French chicken coup marble-top center island, and two separate butler pantries for exceptional amounts of entertaining prep areas. An oversized 3-car garage with extensive built-in storage can be easily accessed from the kitchen and pantries for quick unloading and staging.

Follow the main level hallway with lofty up-lit barreled ceiling to the primary bedroom suite, guest rooms, map/sitting room, ski gear room, and an audacious library/office. The primary bedroom suite features inspiring views, coffered ceilings adorned with 72 layers of wood and intricate lighting, a pewter fireplace procured from New Orleans, circa 1850s, and a loft in the suite foyer. The opulent primary bath has a Parisian chandelier centerpiece surrounded by softly gathered fabric with a Carrera marble soaking tub, dual vanities, steam shower, and stackable washer and dryer. The map/sitting room is lined with build-in bookshelves and gazes over the cascading exterior water feature, pergola and bridge entrance. The amply sized ski room has its own entrance with an abundance of built-in hanging ski racks and seating around a warming fireplace with a charming rustic powder room. Located above the ski room is the light, bright library/study/office, adorned with a Chicago brick fireplace, vaulted ceilings, built-in bookshelves, and a flood of natural light. The guest suite adjacent to the library features cashmere tufted headboard wall, private deck with European patio set, and a handsome French Quarter New Orleans cabinet, circa 1700s. And an additional ensuite guest bedroom has a private balcony and antique European armoire.

From the great room, floating slab limestone stairs lead to a billiards room and well-appointed family room with a retractable screen and projector, wet bar, kitchenette, gas fireplace, and powder room accented with Moroccan tile. A climate-controlled wine cellar with Chicago brick and custom door holds up to 1,000 bottles. The lower-level exercise area with separate powder and steam rooms provides access to an exterior breezeway leading to the sunken hot tub, gas fireplace, and the central soothing water feature, all warmed by heat lamps and heated flagstone. Three additional ensuite guest rooms are also located on the lower level, each with private access to outdoor patios, along with the custom-built walnut bunk room to comfortably accommodate a lavish retreat.
