Nestled atop Specie Mesa,''Quarter Mile Rim'' is an artisanal masterpiece perched on a dramatic escarpment, named by the developer for its stunning quarter mile frontage offering unobstructed panoramic views. This 40-acre private sanctuary, just 25 miles from Telluride, is set amid towering ponderosa pines with commanding views of the Sneffels Range, San Sophia Range, Sunshine Mountain, Wilson Range, Little Cone, and Dolores Peak. WOW! The log home is equally compelling. Handcrafted by Pioneer Log Homes of British Columbia from massive hand-peeled and hand-scribed Western Red Cedar with dramatic diamond corner notches, this custom 3-bedroom, 3-bath retreat exudes rustic elegance. The ''Telluride Gold'' stone basement level and moss rock wood-burning fireplace, quarried from the property, blend seamlessly with the landscape. Wide plank pine flooring, tongue-and-groove ceilings crafted from sustainably sourced beetle-kill blue pine, antique oak barn-doors, handcrafted mesquite vanities, hammered copper clawfoot tub, and artisan chandeliers elevate the interior. A 103" wide Panoramic Door system, featuring the innovative "Slide-Pivot-Stack" design, with retractable screen, seamlessly blends indoor and outdoor spaces, flooding the home with natural light and framing breathtaking mountain vistas. The gourmet kitchen boasts a Miele built-in coffee maker and dishwasher, Blue Star range top and wall oven, Blue Mare quartzite countertops, a Rachiele farmhouse copper workstation sink, and a custom Stronghold Forge vent hood. On the garapa Brazilian hardwood wraparound deck there is a Dimension One spa, which creates an inviting and relaxing respite along with sweeping views. Enjoy pure water with an Aquasana whole house filtration system featuring UV technology and a Genesis water softener. Two propane-fired Takagi on-demand hot water systems ensure endless hot water and energy savings - one powers hydronic in-floor heating and the washing machine, while the other serves the household. State of the art! Year round access is effortless, with Peninsula HOA snowplowing county and subdivision roads. In sum, an alluring mesa retreat that commands attention.
