Listed well below lender's 2008 appraisal "Italian Country Living Under the Colorado Sun" Picture your dream vacation: golfing in balmy Tuscany, sleeping in Frances Mayes' "Under-the-Tuscan-Sun" restored farmhouse, visiting wineries by day, walking to dinner at night. If that's your idea of paradise, why not live it year-round? You can! Offering the charm of a Tuscan farmhouse- from reclaimed 12th century terra cotta pavers to the18th century gilt-wood chandelier- the home boasts an array of modern amenities. A 600 bottle wine cellar, for instance, supplies the restaurant-quality nitrogen wine bar, while the Master Suite's breakfast bar encourages breakfast in bed- daily! Entertaining for eight or 80 is simplified with the outdoor pizza oven, custom-made French Lacanche range and Sub-Zero appliances. The fire-pit veranda hosts sangria-sipping crowds on crisp evenings, while three indoor fireplaces- or the outdoor spa- offer more intimate warmth for fireside nightcaps. An hour's flight from Denver- and 20 minutes from the airport- the home encourages vacation visits for non-permanent owners seeking a frequent escape. With Telluride only a 90-minute drive and the scenic Colorado National Monument a short hike away, the "vacation" appeal of Casa Sollevare never fades. And those European-Reminiscent wineries? The French-chateau styled Two Rivers Winery is but a five minute drive. To see floor plans, furnishings, and an extensive virtual tour, visit: www.casasollevare.com
