1452 Buffehr Creek Road, Vail, CO 81657 (MLS# 1012514)

Surrounded by towering aspens at the top of a private, gated drive, 1452 Buffehr Creek is the embodiment of elevated alpine living. Completed in 2001 and masterfully expanded in 2008, the nearly 14,000 sq ft estate rests on 1.15 sun-drenched acres with unobstructed vistas of Vail Village and the Gore Range. 10 bedrooms—including a secluded primary wing with fireside bedroom, view-filled office, and terrace—provide resort-level comfort for family and guests alike. Hand-hewn timber, dry-stack stone, and soaring trusses define the great room, where floor-to-ceiling glass blends seamlessly with the outdoors. A chef's kitchen with an oversized island, butler's pantry, and integrated wine storage anchors the main level, spilling onto south-facing decks ideal for summer entertaining. The lower level is pure indulgence: a nature inspired swimming pool, full spa with sauna and massage studio, state-of-the-art theater, and recreation lounge that opens to flagstone patios and a fire-pit terrace. Additional highlights include smart-home systems, central humidification and A/C, a heated oversized four-car garage with snow-melt motor court, and the option to purchase a prestigious full Arrabelle Club membership. Five minutes from Vail Village yet worlds away in privacy, 1452 Buffehr Creek balances serenity and convenience in one extraordinary mountain sanctuary.
