Ski-In/Ski-Out Splendor: A Remodeled Vail Chalet Wants $49.5M

Whether you’re an avid skier or snowboarder, all who love the slopes may agree that having a ski-in/ski-out pad is the ultimate experience. This spectacular estate in Vail Village sits right on the mountain and is considered one of the most spectacular ski-in/ski-out homes in Vail. Each morning if the powder is fresh, one can get right onto the low-populated blue trail called Bear Tree run and come back in time for lunch. That kind of convenience does come at a peak-steep price, with the posh Colorado property asking $49.5 million.

With architecture by Kyle Webb, interiors be Accetrics Interiors, and construction by George Shaeffer, the 12,447-square-foot manse looks like a modern chalet. Drawing on the typical cabin vibe, rich woods and stone carry throughout while being balanced by contemporary finishes like brass and marble. The double-height living room with a floor-to-ceiling fireplace is a prime spot to watch winter unfold whether you’re into skiing or not. It creates a snow globe-like atmosphere, which can also be felt in other parts of the home.

For hosting aprés-ski here, nothing’s better than cooking up a warm meal in the chef’s kitchen, mixing cocktails in the wood bar, and ending the afternoon on the outdoor deck. Take a dip in the lower level’s indoor hot tub, or even camp out for a movie night in the media room.

Recently meticulously remodeled, the home has only the most stylish and inviting accommodations for guests. There are eight bedrooms and seven bathrooms for hosting extended family and friends all ski season. The primary suite sits separately in its own enclave, boasting a lavish ensuite with dual shower heads and vanities and a spacious walk-in closet to fit as many clothes as possible.
