Welcome to River House, a masterpiece nestled on the San Miguel River, just a short ride to Telluride ski resort. Architectural Digest Worthy, it’s a haven seamlessly blending rustic charm with SE Asian antiquities. The living area, with the warmth of reclaimed wooden beams, is complimented with stunning Balinese art. Modern furnishings add a touch of contemporary luxury and harmonious balance, which define the home's unique character. NOTE: The brand new main deck was just renovated and enlarged. The space: The chef's kitchen opens into an open-plan living area with a great dining room that looks out over the river. The four well-sized bedrooms, each boasting en suite bathrooms and private decks, ensure that there's ample room for privacy and relaxation. The chef's kitchen, equipped with top-of-the-line appliances and finishes, invites culinary adventures, while a small coffee bar area adds a touch of sophistication to the living space.
The interior is bathed in natural light, thanks to cathedral ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows that frame breathtaking views of the red rock cliff face along the river. Step outside onto the expansive deck, where the tranquil sound of the river serenades you as you fish, take a leisurely walk, or simply lie back and stargaze. This area, designated as an official Dark Sky Area, promises an unobstructed view of the Milky Way and many constellations.
The outdoor beauty extends across the lawn, organic gardens and a greenhouse, creating a seamless connection between nature and architecture. With the two-acre lot offering ample space, events, weddings, and gatherings can be arranged with our assistance. Imagine celebrating against the backdrop of BLM land, where wildlife thrives, and the river invites you to fish while birds and animals gather to drink.
Parking is a breeze with a garage, covered parking, and space for 4 to 5 cars in the driveway. Whether you're seeking a luxurious retreat or planning a special event, The River House invites you to experience the magic of Telluride in unparalleled style. Let us make the arrangements, and let the enchantment begin.
The River House isn't just a home; it's an ideal environment for hosting transformative experiences like yoga or breathwork retreats. The expansive outdoor spaces, including the lush lawn overlooking the river, provide a perfect setting for rejuvenating practices. The serene sounds of the flowing river and the unobstructed views of nature create a tranquil atmosphere that enhances the mind-body connection.
Imagine starting your day with a sunrise yoga session on the deck or hosting guided breathwork exercises surrounded by the natural beauty of Telluride. The open-plan living area with its airy ambiance and connection to the outdoors makes it easy to flow from practice to relaxation seamlessly.
