Which Luxury Telluride Ski House Would You Choose: The Sleek Townhouse Splurge or Log Mansion Steal?
Share News:
Telluride, Colorado is no longer a well-kept secret. For the past decade, it seems to have topped just about every notable list of America’s best ski towns. However, despite its newfound notoriety, the town’s soul remains surprisingly the same. Nestled in a box canyon in the San Juan mountain range, Telluride doesn’t have much geographical room to spread out. Plus, it takes a lot more determination (and funds) to arrive in the tucked-away town than say Vail or Aspen.
As a result, the real estate in Telluride, and in neighboring Mountain Village, is a hot commodity. This week’s Splurge vs. Steal pits together two homes with similar square footage and level of luxury, but different locations and styles.
Do you fancy the chic, modern home in the heart of Telluride for a Splurge? Or the sprawling log mansion in Mountain Village with ski access for a Steal?
Splurge: Sleek Townhouse with Prime Location for $29.5 Million
This drool-worthy townhouse is a rare gem. I would say that this home’s location on the town main street in the heart of Telluride with quick access to the gondola and ski lifts is its top feature. But then, once you look inside, the chic design is all you can think about. Or maybe that’s just me?
The clean lines. The sleek, black metal hardware. The hip, funky light fixtures. The unbelievable rooftop patio with 360-degree mountain views. It’s 8,300 square feet of modern luxury. Unlike many townhouses in the town of Telluride, this home is a stand-alone structure.
From the listing:
“There will never be another residence of this size and caliber located this close to the Gondola, ski lifts and Main St. Every detail has been curated to exceed your wildest dreams with huge rooftop decks, soundproof windows, and oxygen in every bedroom. Fully furnished and completely turnkey, experience the unparalleled lifestyle above it all.”
Steal: Grand Log Mansion With Ski Access for $7.495 Million
Just take a free gondola ride over to Mountain Village to find this sprawling beauty of a log cabin. Cabin really isn’t the right word… it’s more than 7,000 square feet of trailside luxury.
Every detail creates an atmosphere that screams cozy holiday ski house. There’s a grand stone fireplace, high vaulted ceilings and even a custom outdoor waterfall. It’s the ideal family house with lots of room for everyone with six bedrooms. The full bar, movie theater, wine room and spacious living spaces make it the perfect place to entertain– possibly for a cozy Christmas holiday?
From the listing:
“The epic trailside mountain lifestyle of your dreams awaits you and your family at this custom log ski home on one of Mountain Village’s most sought after streets. Situated on over one acre directly across from Double Cabins ski trail on Lift 10 for seamless access to skiing in the winter and biking on Prospect Trail in the summer months, this stunning residence makes the most of Telluride’s sweeping views and 300 days of sunshine with expansive outdoor living spaces, accessible from numerous rooms within the residence.”
