Ask a questionAbout Adam Bersin
Highcliffe was designed and constructed over 3 years commencing in 2014. Our family fell in love with the land's drmatic topography, aspen groves, ancient boulders, and spectacular views of the Gore Range, all of which inspired us to create a luxurious, mountain-themed home, authentic, rich and in the style of old western design and feel, yet with all the modern amenities our family enjoys. Highcliffe is true destination lodging for Vail vacationers. created with passion and vision, and guests have cherished experiences while staying at the property. Our quality and ambiance is unmatched in Vail, and guests consistently comment they love to return Highcliffe each evening as their fantasy mountain home. Highcliffe has also been featured in Log Home Living and Log and Timber Home design magazines! Highcliffe is the last true log home built in Vail in the past 30 years. We chose enormous fully scribed spruce and pine logs from Montana and Wyoming with fabulous decorative features including cat eyes, burls and lovely imperfections, creating a massive, rich feel. Stone used in patios, flooring and fireplaces was quarried in Colorado and New Mexico and includes moss rock and limestone. Ironwork was custom designed, and forged in Craig, Colorado. The main furnishings were hand made in Buena Vista, CO and feature Ralph Lauren fabrics, buffalo hide, and various fine leathers and other furs. Navajo rugs throughout Highcliffe are vintage or antique and feature traditional Navajo design motifs, including yei, two grey hills, eye dazzler, germantown and teec nos pos. Tastefully incorporated taxidermy includes buck, moose, bobcat, raccoon and mallard, and antique design pieces are American Western, and European black forest. Highcliffe is iconic in its presence and ambiance, quality of finishes, attention to detail, and reputation, and we hope you will enjoy an amazing mountain adventure with us.
Adam Bersin purchased this house in 2014
Why Adam Bersin chose Vail
The beautiful acre of land beneath Highcliffe was one of the very last virgin parcels in Vail, and has outstanding views of the Gore Mountain Range and abuts the White Forest National Park to the rear. Most importantly, it sits on a charming residential street with Gore Creek only a one-minute walk away, offering nearby white water rafting trips, fly fishing, and nature hiking trails. Fantastic waterfall hike begins only 500 feet away. Special attention was paid to incorporate indigenous stone and artwork to represent the Rocky Mountains and its splendor. We love the hustle and Internationality of Vail Village and its restaurants and shops, its great skiing, fair and festivals. We sought a location offering easy and quick access to the Village, yet private and exclusive. It was important that the location allowed for our then early teenage children to be easily bike, walk or take the free bus into Vail Village.
What makes this house unique
Privacy, location and truly enchanting environment. Plenty of yard space for kids to run and play games, even has an antique wagon for kids of all ages to take an imaginery wagon train ride. Private mountain in back yard, with trails and observatory. Amazing views, and plenty of wildlife (eagles, hummingbirds, fox, racoon, marmot and tiny chipmunks). Plenty of decks and balconies to enjoy fresh air and al fresco dining. A Mountain lodge in Vail, luxuriously decorated and appointed in Ritz Carlton, Bachelor Gulch style, with its own state-of-the-art private movie theater and mountain!
