Tucked in a valley between Colorado’s towering mountains, this bohemian mountain retreat is ideally located for the slopes of Breckenridge (a seven-minute drive away) and myriad trailheads around alpine lakes and through gulches. This home’s woodland plot stretches over half an acre, and dining on the patio beneath the trees is a delight. Inside, the main living room is a vision of bobo-chic, with faux furs adorning the sofas and a basket egg chair at the centre. There’s a fireplace in here to keep things cosy too. Raw timber still in the shape of logs is on display for that cabin-in-the-woods feel, but there’s nothing but sleek modernity in the hedonistic den, where black leather sofas surround a huge flatscreen TV, and there’s a retro arcade table. The solid-wood dining table enjoys a sunny spot by floor-to-ceiling windows and breakfasting here while looking out at the trees is the optimum way to start the day. This home’s got some serious eco-credentials as well, from the straw bale insulation to the reclaimed pine ceilings.
