Meadow House is a private 70-acre estate located within Storm Mountain Ranch, a gated, shared ranch community of just 14 homesites on 1,100 private acres, 3 miles from the base of Steamboat Resort. Designed by Aspen-based architect Michael Ernemann, the residence sits where open ranch meadows meet aspen groves, with 5 ensuite bedrooms, 7 baths, valley-to-mountain views and an extraordinary level of craftsmanship. A 30-foot entry hall opens to a great room with vaulted wood-beamed ceilings, a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, and glass doors to covered patios on both sides. The chef’s kitchen includes Sub-Zero and Thermador appliances, double ovens, Colorado Buff sandstone countertops, breakfast nook, and butler’s pantry. A media room/library, dedicated office, mudroom, powder room, and 2-car garage complete the main level. A private guest suite above the garage has its own entrance. On the upper level, 4 ensuite bedrooms, including dual primary suites at opposite ends, feature custom built-ins, soaking tubs, and landscape views. The exterior combines natural stone, barnwood, and steeply pitched rooflines, while inside, reclaimed chestnut floors (no longer available) cherry cabinetry and railings run throughout. Outdoor spaces include covered patios, grass lawns, and a heated spa beneath the trees. Systems include radiant in-floor heat, new HVAC, Lutron lighting, whole-house generator, humidifier, water softener, private well, and irrigation. The 70-acre parcel, maintained by the ranch community, provides a setting for all four seasons, and the Phillips Ditch Trail runs immediately behind the home, connecting directly to the Storm Mountain Ranch trail system. Here, 793 acres are protected under three permanent easements, and everything the ranch offers--stocked fishing ponds, Orvis-approved streams, private lodge, dedicated ranch staff, and five private cabins, including one at the base of a waterfall--is reserved solely for owners and their guests.
