Located above Snowmass Village, there are only 4 estates on Pinon Drive in the prestigious Divide, and black diamond skiers can ski out the back door down the Slott run down to campground lift, above the famous Krabloonicks dog sledding location and restaurant. There is no house below or in front of this home and it is very quiet and peaceful.Stately elegance emanates from all rooms of this home, with an old world ambiance. The curved stone entry and rotunda lend formality, arched doors evoke the Italian countryside. There are high ceilings and large windows and trusses, but the furnishings are designed for elegant comfort without the oversized lodge type pieces. The beddings are premier and the bathrooms opulent. There is a large wood burning stone fireplace in the Great Room and windows that frame the mountain’s view.
