Butterfly House - Unique Mountain Home with Waterfall!

The Butterfly House is a truly one-of-a-kind mountain retreat designed by Jim Fox, inspired by the organic architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright's “Fallingwater.” Built directly into the side of the mountain overlooking Blue Valley, this remarkable home was designed to blur the line between indoors and out, creating a stay that feels completely immersed in nature.

From the moment you arrive, you're surrounded by the sights and sounds of the mountains. A waterfall cascades beside the home, filling the air with the soothing sound of rushing water, while floor-to-ceiling windows frame long-range mountain views in nearly every direction. Natural stone, wood, glass, and flowing outdoor spaces make the home feel like an extension of the landscape itself.

The main living area centers around dramatic dual stone fireplaces that can be enjoyed from both inside and the deck outside. Wraparound decks invite you to step into the cool mountain air, dine outdoors, or simply sit and listen to the waterfall echo through the trees. The galley-style kitchen features granite countertops, a gas cooktop, electric oven, beverage cooler, and easy access to the outdoor living spaces.

Butterfly House offers multiple gathering spaces, including a comfortable family room and lower-level sitting area tucked directly against the mountain itself. On the lower level, exposed rock walls covered with natural moss bring the mountain indoors, creating a space unlike anything you'll find in a traditional vacation home. With the waterfall nearby and the rock surrounding you, it feels as though the mountain is wrapping around the house.

The home sleeps guests comfortably with a queen guest room, a bunk room with two twin bunk beds, and a stunning upstairs primary suite featuring a king platform bed, private balcony, stone fireplace, walk-through closet, and private bath. The suite overlooks both the living space below and the surrounding mountains, adding to the home's open, connected feel.
With four wood-burning fireplaces, cool mountain breezes, and nature woven into every detail of the design, The Butterfly House offers a mountain experience that is peaceful, immersive, and unforgettable.
