Vail Mountain Contemporary Retreat with Views, Outdoor living and Avant-Garden Design

Snow-capped peaks, pristine forests, and a storybook alpine village. Vail has a make-believe quality that has made it one of North America's most treasured ski destinations—and an idyllic backdrop for a residence with magical qualities of its own.

Perched on Vail's largest residential lot spanning 6.37 acres in the gated community of Spraddle Creek Estates lies "a diligently crafted" avant-garde mountain masterpiece. Completed in June 2024 by English and Associates, LLC, in collaboration with Denver-based Davis Urban Architects, the stunning contemporary split-level – all 11,260 square feet of it – "redefines modern living," according to listing agent Shawna Reddington.

Starting with its elevated position among only 14 other luxury estates that border 2.3 million acres of White River National Forest, the property ensures a level of privacy that is as rare as it is coveted. Amid these secluded surroundings, clear sightlines to Vail Village, Vail Mountain, and beyond to Beaver Creek Mountain take center stage. 

"Privacy is paramount in this estate," says Reddington. This is most readily seen in the office, set away from the rest of the home on the upper level of the east wing. One bedroom could serve as a dedicated space for a nanny or live-in caretaker, as it offers independent exterior access and is fully equipped with an efficiency-size convection cooktop, dishwasher, drawer-style refrigerator/freezer, and microwave. Private at-home wellness has been prioritized with features such as a multi-person steam room and a home gym. 

Every detail has been thoughtfully considered right down to the technology. In-floor heating ensures comfort throughout, complemented by full exterior snow melt capabilities for hassle-free winters. As a Savant Smart Home, the whole residence is equipped with state-of-the-art smart technology, including ''oxygenated rooms'' for both the main level primary suite and lower level family room, designed to enhance sleep quality and post-recreation recovery. 

A final perk awaiting the future homeowner is a top-tier family membership to The Arrabelle Club. As Reddington explains, "The Arrabelle Club is Vail's newest, private luxury club in the heart of Lionshead. It has amenities like 24/7 valet parking in the underground heated garage and slope-side ski valet, ski storage, fitness center and spa designated locker in the private locker room, rooftop pool/hot tub, Clubhouse and Great Room serving complimentary continental breakfast." 

It's a fantasy home made real in a mountain wonderland.
