The first home in Creek Ranch, designed by Ed Becker of Mountain Architecture and built by Dobell Contracting in 2001, takes full advantage of the views of Trout Creek below. The timeless design and quality craftsmanship are evident throughout the home.
Overlooking green pastures and surrounded by windows, beautiful timber beams soar overhead. A wood burning fireplace graces the living room, a cozy spot for an evening drink by the fire in the winter, and a sunlight strewn view of green in spring.
Intimate friends enjoy watching the sunset during dinner. In the winter, the room is ablaze with warmth from the gas fireplace in the corner; in the summer, watch the wildlife as they cross the meadow for a soothing sip of water in the cool evening breeze.
Simple lines and timeless design complement any style from vintage to modern. Updated with hand crafted solid cherry cabinetry, the heart of the home serves as the epicurean comfort zone. Pleasingly placed above the kitchen sink, the window above looks out into the branches of the mature trees, perfect for sheltering a hummingbird feeder.
The most discerning of chefs will love whipping up a savory souffle or rolling out a crusty gallette in the kitchen, sliding creations into the oversized double-oven Viking range.
An elegantly framed passageway leads to a large walk-in pantry and spacious laundry room.
Light dances through the morning room. Open to the kitchen, the welcoming space is perfect for sipping morning coffee while taking in the sunrise. In the evening, after dinner is put away, relax with your crossword or favorite show.
Leaves just starting to unfurl in early spring, the grove of aspens shelter the large deck during warmer months while sounds of the creek play all day long. During the winter, snow capped peaks to the north peer through the sleeping branches into the kitchen.
In an alcove under the stairs, perfectly situated between the dining and living rooms, a wet bar nestles under the open staircase.
Thoughtfully placed opposite the living room, your first view upon entering the house is of wide meadows, perfectly framed by an elegant array of windows.
A leather floor graces the reading room. Cozy and quiet, this space is a perfect hideaway where you can escape into the pages of a good book by the smoldering flames of the fireplace. (Fireplace not pictured here, located at lower right.)
Double doors lead into the gracious owner’s retreat. A large walk-in closet, ensuite bath, and attached writing room complete the space. Rejuvenate on your private deck, listening to the water rushing by while the birds sing, and you’ll be ready to climb a mountain.
This beautiful writing room is the crown of the owner’s retreat. Use it for a personal study, a meditation room, roll out a yoga mat, or write your memoir. The door opens onto your private outdoor space. Rustic yet elegant finishes will transport you back in time.
One of the luxuries of country living, soaking in front of a sunny window!
The elegantly designed owner’s lavatory is both spacious and efficient.
Designed in the style of an authentic old-west barn with a rusted metal roof cupola. Sliding doors on both ends open wide enough to pull a trailer through. Built in stalls adorn the ground floor, with a heated wash and tack room in the corner. Storage loft upstairs. The property is fenced, cross fenced, and includes a riding arena for training.
Surrounded by green meadows, overlooking the creek, 13.88 acres are a haven for wildlife. Birds fill the air with song, elk and deer cross for water. Grouse shelter under the shrubs, and foxes play in the sunshine, all in full view of the array of windows throughout the house.
