Purchased the native land in 2014, design and construction took two years. Currently live Manalapan Point, Palm Beach FL. No expense spared in design and fixtures, completely over the top, and an inspired project that our family and clients adore.
We fell in love with the convenient neighborhood location and land due to its immense size (nearly an acre), privacy, stunning topography, ancient aspen groves and boulders, and tremendous Gore Range views.
Highcliffe is also the true log home built in Vail in the past 30 years. We chose enormous fully-scribed Engleman spruce and lodgepole pine logs from Montana and Wyoming with fascinating character features including cat eyes, burls, and other amazing 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 by a master. 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 authentic 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.
