         Perched high on a ridge with a 180-degree, 30-mile views of  the Vail Valley, this extraordinarily well-built custom home will give you years of easygoing, nearly effortless ownership.  Designed with careful attention to harsh mountain weather and built by the hands of the designer, this meticulously fussed-over home has too many thoughtful and useful features to begin listing.  Swooping free-form cast concrete retaining walls bring you up the 800 ft. curving driveway onto the ridgetop.  The airlock entry opens into an expansive Solarium/Office and short flight of curving stairs to the Great Room with wall-to-wall windows embracing 180 degree views of the Rockies.  The spacious walk-around kitchen with sleek custom cabinetry and acres of tile will make entertaining your guests delightful for everyone - even you!  A huge pantry has dozens of shelves and a bi-swing door - plus automatic lighting so you don't even need a free hand!  Bedrooms are zoned into a family areas on the main floor, with two elegant Master Suites at the top level.  All rooms feature indirect cove lighting in addition to direct reading lighting.  All closets are walk-in, spacious, and well-appointed.  The home has oodles of storage, zoned forced-air heating on two separate super-silent 90% efficient systems.   All mechanical functions are centralized in one basement room: landscape irrigation controls and valves; central vacuum;  96%-efficient waterheater with recirculating hot water at all taps; commercial-capacity Culligan water softener; Cable TV/modem with intranet firewall, even central Uninterruptible Power Supply.  Dozens of interior plants flourish effortlessly thanks to automatic watering and drains so they almost never require attention.  Over the years, the durable exterior finishes will require the very least in bothersome and costly upkeep - even the flat energy-conserving sod roofs are planted in a drought-tolerant dwarf grass variety that never needs mowing!  The high-tech thermal-break Win-Vent commercial-quality anodized aluminum window system has industry-leading impact-resistant tempered safety glass with world-renowned, extravagantly costly and patented "Heat Mirror" triple glazing for superior energy conservation.  Spacious patios with durable interlocking pavers invite outdoor entertaining and even wintertime sunning.  The entire 1/2 acre site is fully-landscaped, with low-maintenance indigenous varieties and more than 150 trees - each and every one with drip irrigation.  And perhaps the best part:  this home is completely finished... there is no more work to be done.  Move in and enjoy!  When you take immediate occupancy, you will be the original occupant, this home is virtually new.
