Welcome to Haus Montane! This well thought out custom home features soaring ceilings in the great room with walls of glass to showcase Continental Divide views from its 5+ acre private setting. Only a hand-full of homes offer this stunning snowcap view without the impediment of neighbors, and it adjoins the world famous Bison enclosure operated by the city of Denver. The icing on the cake is an open main level living floor plan with expansive and private outdoor living areas! A copper front door with buffalo shaped door handle opens to the great room with Brazilian cherry flooring. From the glass block and stone wall accents to the specialty lighting from Urban Lights, to hand-troweled textured walls, this home provides enduring attention to all details. The central Thurston kitchen, featured in the August 2001 edition of Colorado Homes & Life Styles magazine, is finished with slab granite, stainless steel backsplash, cherry cabinetry with glass fronts and pull out drawers plus top-end appliances including a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Asko dishwasher, Dacor oven and Dacor 5-burner gas cooktop with hood.
