新規上場および2019年発売：MVの高級スキーインシャレー5BR

Our mountain modern chalet was a project that took vision and a lot of hard work. In terms of the intangibles for us - It had the perfect location for us. It was close to the action yet not on top of it. It had ski-in access. It had all the convenience of Mountain Village. It had good bones - it was built using massive sized log beams which are much larger in diameter then others in the neighborhood. It was also big enough for hosting several families.

However, when we bought the house it perhaps could be called a cozy log cabin stuck in time. We embarked on a huge remodel which entailed gutting the main house. We added a new Great Room with new windows, new fireplace, and new kitchen. Bedrooms were added or expanded. New bathrooms were added. A new mudroom was added. New floors and new radiant heat was put-in. As we began construction, the pandemic hit. Construction was halted several times due to the pandemic. 2020 was truly a year to forget for the history books.

The remodel allowed it to be functional for us. It allows us to host multiple families for weeks of fun in the mountains. It a perfect size, big enough to host multiple families but not a silly-huge where it becomes a waste. The interior and furniture is new and has a modern aesthetic to it while still playing homage to its log roots. Being a tech geek, the technology was all refreshed and new wiring installed everywhere. With the pandemic raging, it was put to the test where we worked remotely for several months and days full of Zoom calls from the mountains.

In the end, the question is always asked - would you do a remodel again or build new? Its a tough question to answer. The result came out great and feels comfortable and modern - those words aren't often in the same sentence.

Their are a couple of obvious unique benefits. The house was gutted and renovated completed in Nov 2020, which means new and clean! All of the bedding was changed, most of the furniture and mattress are new. Most of the appliances are new. The tech and TVs are new. The double house setup in incredibly versatile when it comes to groups and multiple families. Also, most all of the 6BR houses in Mountain Village are ~10,000 sq ft with rental prices to match, this is unique in that its a very livable and approachable size. Many of our spaces are built to flex. Our downstairs den is a perfect example. It can be a TV getaway for the kids when the adults are upstairs. It can be a guy's getaway to watch the big game and enjoy a drink from the bar. It can be a sleeping bedroom when a 6BR is desired without sacrificing comfort. No pull-out couches here! It has a Murphy bed with a mattress quality found in all the other bedrooms.

However, their are some less-than-obvious benefits we've only discovered after living there for some time. Its one of the few houses that have both ski-in access as well as bike-in/bike-out access in the summer. Yep, we bike out to "Tommy-Knocker", which is one of the only green bike trails. Most houses with ski access do not have bike out access. The hiking in the summer has also surprised us. Their are plenty of trails our kids can do right from the back door, yet their are also 15 mile strenuous hiked that can be undertaken if that suites your taste. If interested, I'd be happen to give you all the little gems we've uncovered. I'm also available for any help with your trip of recommendations you need for your stay.
