About this property
Butterfly House - Unique Mountain Home with Waterfall!
The Butterfly House is a unique, contemporary Jim Fox design (similar to Frank Lloyd Wright's "Falling water" home) with long-range mountain views of Blue Valley. As soon as you arrive, you'll be greeted by the delightful melody of the waterfall beside the house. Entering the front door, take in the breathtaking views with the floor to ceiling windows. This home has 4 wood-burning fireplaces (several have gas starters). The living area has dual stone fireplaces that can be viewed and/or used from the indoor or deck area. The dining area seats 8 and there is an additional eating area next to the kitchen. The galley style kitchen features granite counter tops, a beverage cooler, Thermal range with a gas cook top/electric oven and pot warming racks. Open the doors to enjoy the mountain breeze and for easy access to the wrap-around decking. Off of the main level is the family room with a large flat-screen TV with VCR/DVD, iPhone docking station, small fridge, microwave, games and movies. There are also 2 guest bedrooms. The first with a Queen size bed and the second with 2 sets of twin bunk beds. The guest bedrooms share a full bathroom. The primary suite is upstairs and has a private balcony, a stone fireplace that can be seen from the private balcony, a built-in king platform bed, custom cabinetry, large walk-through closet, private bath featuring a dual vanity, towel warmer, and a shower with a special opaque window that "disappears". The bedroom overlooks the living area and the mountain view. The lower level offers a small nook, and has 2 fold-out chair beds (twin size), Satellite TV/DVD, iPhone docking station, games chest, half bath, fireplace "on the rocks" and 2 entrances to the deck with areas from the view to the waterfall side. Note: There is A/C on the main level, but by opening the doors/windows you get the cross breezes.
