The transformation of this property represents a remarkable evolution from a grand French colonial-style home to a premier year-round mountain retreat. Originally characterized by its stately architecture, the home has been meticulously renovated to blend luxury with a contemporary mountain-lakeside aesthetic.

The extensive renovation involved reshaping the original structure, including the removal of many internal structural walls and the introduction of steel moment frames. This bold redesign allowed for a stunning open-concept layout, featuring a grand entry and an impressive dining space, while modern finishes seamlessly integrate with the home’s new, refined character.

Spanning 10,000 square feet, the retreat features four bedrooms—three of which have fireplaces—along with four ensuites, two additional bathrooms, and two powder rooms.

Designed for relaxation and entertainment, the interior includes an infrared sauna with lake views, a theatre room with a custom 14-foot sunken lounge, and a fully loaded entertainment room featuring a gym, bar, and pool table, with large sliding exterior pocket doors equipped with motorized bug screens.

The exterior of the home underwent a complete rebuild at the back, with significant structural and engineering efforts to excavate down 2.5 levels and add a new foundation. This allowed for the creation of a two-level indoor/outdoor space, featuring over 3,000 square feet of heated patio with two custom firepits, a fully covered pergola, and a stainless steel hot tub. The lower level boasts an entertainment space complete with a pizza oven. Retractable sliding doors open onto Alta Lake, creating a seamless connection to the natural surroundings, further enhancing the luxurious lakeside living experience.

Handmade furniture from Portugal and thoughtful details throughout make this home a true masterpiece of mountain retreat living, where modern comfort and nature blend effortlessly.
