Influenced by iconic Craftsman style homes, this dignified estate sits beneath the steep slope of Cheyenne Mountain. Set in this stunning geologic setting, the intent was to reflect that power in the home’s 22, 000 square feet. Using granite sourced from the mountain, a mass of boulder creates the foundation, which gives way to brick walls. The brick, hand-cast in wood forms, is one of many handmade materials used on the home to connect the setting’s raw beauty with human warmth and ingenuity.Completed in 2004, the home’s 7 bedrooms, 12 baths & 8 fireplaces showcase work of renowned craftsmen across the country and around the world. At the home’s entrance, one is greeted by a grand, redwood timber porte-cochere, designed to invite the mind into another world.
