About this property
The Cantilever Lodge - Purg's Finest Luxury Home- Unreal Views, Firepit
Our 5 bedroom, 4 bathroom, 4,300 sq. ft. luxury home is absolutely breathtaking! Perched high above the valley floor and just a short walk to the slopes, it has unobstructed views of the nearly 14,000 foot peaks of the Needles Mountains, the signature range that inspired Jean Claude Killy to describe Purgatory as “the most beautiful scenery this side of the Italian Alps."
Inside the home you will find a 1,200 square foot master retreat on the lower level that includes incredible views of the Needles Mountains from the King bed, two person Jacuzzi tub and shower. The master retreat also includes a two-sided gas fireplace between the bedroom and the Jacuzzi tub, “RO” water, “instant-hot” water, sink and refrigerator. The adjacent bedroom features a queen pull out sofa and work desk. The dressing /vanity area has heated floors and the walk in closet and laundry is the size of the garage bay above. The entry level of the home has two bedrooms (Queen Bed in one and Bunk Beds in the other (single over single) and a full bath (Japanese soaker tub).
The main level offers an enviable gourmet Kitchen with top-of-the-line appliances and amazing mountain views. The massive wood burning stone fireplace (firewood provided) extends 25’ to the spectacular structural beams and honed tongue and grove wood ceiling (illuminated for night ambiance). Perfect for entertaining, the great room, dining room and kitchen are all open to a wall of windows and spacious deck to enjoy the amazing alpenglow when the sun hits the peaks of the Needles range. There is a private deck on each of three floors of this incredible home and the deck off the Main Living Space features a BBQ Grill and gas firepit. Take the spiral stair case up to the extraordinary loft which is the 2nd living space which includes a full bathroom, full bar (wine cooler, refrigerator, and dishwasher), TV and a game/ puzzle table and sleeping space.
Bed Configuration:
Main Bedroom - King Bed (Basement Floor)
2nd Bedroom - Queen Pull Out Sofa (Basement Floor) - access thru the Master
3rd Bedroom - Queen Bed (Second Floor)
4th Bedroom - Bunk Bed (Single over Single) (Second Floor)
