Reflecting on life's most significant accomplishments, one might ponder career milestones, athletic achievements, or the rewarding task of nurturing a loving family. Similarly, across the globe, remarkable residences stand as feats of their own. Among these, atop the Skyline Drive Ridge, on 40 pristine acres nestled within the gated Park Estates community between Ouray and Ridgway, rests a Mountain-modern masterpiece—a testament to achievement. This extraordinary residence is the result of a collaborative effort by a dedicated couple, the visionary late architect Doug Macfarlane, master builder Dan Daley, and construction overseer Steve Bonnett. They assembled a team of highly skilled local craftsmen to turn their vision into reality. The journey began with the quest for the perfect Colorado land, offering year-round access, privacy, south-facing sun exposure, and breathtaking views, including the majestic 14,150' Mount Sneffel. Park Estates, with its private access to the National Forest and 13 miles of private roads, proved to be the ideal location. This exceptional home pays homage to Ouray County's rich mining heritage, harmoniously blending modern luxury with rustic charm. Surrounded by towering Ponderosa pines, the residence beautifully frames Mount Sneffels, prominently visible in the soaring 22-foot high great room. The house features two private 5-piece master suites, a third ensuite, a fourth bedroom, a kid's bedroom/playroom, a loft, and ample powder rooms, comfortably accommodating 8 adults and 8 children. The exquisite materials used in the residence combine stone, steel, wood, and plaster, with over 30,000 board feet of reclaimed barnwood from historic barns across the country, antique oak circle-sawn flooring, and antique long-leaf pine for the ceiling and door trim. The masonry is a testament to local craftsmanship, while the awe-inspiring Douglas-fir timbers were carefully sourced. Beyond the main residence, the detached garage and studio, meticulous landscaping, a charming children's playhouse, and an inviting firepit exemplify the commitment to artistry and thoughtfulness that define this remarkable property. This Mountain-modern masterpiece stands as a symbol of achievement, much like the personal accomplishments one holds dear, and offers an opportunity to become a part of one's legacy.
