of Shadow Mountain area of homes, of which this home is a part.
Beyond there it continues for almost a mile towards Lake Granby. The water
level of Shadow Mountain Lake is always held within a few inches
of its fixed level. This is insured in part by the huge amount of water
that is pumped into the canal from the Lake Granby reservoir.

Located in the very special Shores
of Shadow Mountain, this home has pedestrian access to miles of
shoreline via a short walk down the path to the lake.
The beautiful covered porch opens up from the formal Living Room via
a 28' wall of accordion doors.
The mid-level 800 sq. ft. open deck with built-in fire pit is a favorite gathering space.
The owners' inspiration for the home
came from their childhood summers--being raised in the Midwest where
they spent summers on lakes,
enjoyed the mountains, and made lifelong
childhood memories. This family is making a new generation of those
same special memories,
this time in the year round resort of Grand
Lake.When they were looking, none of the
homes that were on the market offered the features
that were
important to the owner, so they set off to find a site and create the
dream themselves. The home is designed by the owner
to conform
to the contour of the hill top, to maximize the exposure
to the sun and the views, and to meet the demand for entertaining
large gatherings.
Features and
Inspiration
For groups as large as 20, the bedrooms
with on-suite and off-suite baths are set up to host different
families at the same time while affording each their privacy.
One
side of the hallway can be the primary family side and the guest
family can enjoy the private bedroom suite and gathering space on the
other side.
Instead of the antler-driven mountain
lodge look, the owners were inspired by the east coast ocean front
home with brighter, lighter finishes.
The floors of walnut are oriented to
point toward the lake. When the window wall is open, this
orientation gives the feel of endless space out towards the views.
This look was inspired by the Mondrian Hotel on South Beach in
Florida. It's our mountain version of having an "infinity pool".
The custom dining table was built extra tall for its tall
owner. With the upholstered window seating, the table can
comfortably seat 13 people.
The breakfast bar is designed for less
formal dining at the soapstone counter. Ask which furnishings in particular are included at the asking price.
The Wolf stove, farmer house
sink, double dishwashers, ice maker, pantry and cabinet storage for
large pots and pans, and surround sound wiring
are all designed for
entertaining large groups. The natural stone, large wood burning
fireplace gives warmth and light during long winter nights.
Many of
the bathroom sinks are constructed out of furniture lending a unique
built in look.
The 12 foot tall entry doors were custom made in
Arizona out of special wood and with dowel reinforcement so they
would not warp.
The windows are UV-coated, high end
Marvin with true divided lights and designer window coverings.
The whole home has in-floor heat and
humidity. There is a wine cellar with herringbone pattern brick
floor.
An exercise room with a rubberized gym floor is large enough
for yoga with friends.
The large garage doors protect three cars or
two cars plus a boat.
The home was constructed by American
West Homes, the builders who have done much of the construction at
Devils Thumb Ranch.
The stone and the siding and look of the
exterior is inspired by buildings recently built at Devils Thumb.
Owners and guests go on hikes from their front door to the lake, the
fishing canal, and beyond to the National Park, and through the
National Forest
and as far as Lake Granby via a hardly known yet amazing portion of the Colorado River Trail.
Click on the grand doorway and go out to the big and open deck.
