There are homes, and then there are sanctuaries. This Italianate-style villa, boasting three bedrooms plus a library and two bathrooms, nestled on 40 acres of pristine Colorado land, is a place where timeless European elegance meets the untamed beauty of the American West. Here, Needle Rock, the Grand Mesa and West Elk Mountains fill your horizon, and every sunset bathes the villa in a golden light worthy of a master's canvas. From the moment you drive in, passing through the wrought iron gate and parking in a bay of the three-car garage, a sense of arrival and belonging envelops you. The villa feels as though it has always been here, carved into the landscape, waiting for you. Step inside and you are greeted by soaring ceilings, painstakingly sourced fixtures and finishes, custom mosaics, and exotic woods that carry the touch of artisanship. The great dining hall rises to 22 feet, crowned with light, inviting grand dinners and intimate gatherings alike. A 60,000 BTU wood-burning fireplace anchors the great room, its mantel a stage for stories, laughter, and quiet moments of reflection. The gourmet kitchen is as much about beauty as it is about function, with cabinetry designed to display your finest crystal and china, and appliances by Sub-Zero, Fisher and Paykel and Aga. Here, cooking is elevated to an art form, and entertaining becomes effortless. This home is designed to embrace both solitude and celebration. Host evenings by the heated outdoor pool, where the terrace opens to the incredible vistas, and wildlife graze the pastures below. Share a glass of wine from your own cellar, or retreat to the library for quiet study. The villa's craftsmanship whispers of Old World traditions, yet its conveniences are wholly modern: in-floor heating, a five-speaker home theater system, central vacuum, fiber-based internet, security system, and separate boilers for domestic hot water and the heated pool keep the home grounded in today's luxuries. Beyond the walls, the property opens onto a living canvas of native pinyon pine, juniper, sage, and wildflowers. Agricultural zoning ensures your property taxes remain surprisingly low, and private trails beckon you on morning walks or meditative evening strolls. Wildlife are constant companionsdeer at the forest's edge, birdsong in the canopy, the rustle of life moving through untouched land. With 1,000 shares of Fruitland Irrigation water rights, the pastures are fertile and ready for horses, hay fields, or simply to preserve the open meadows that stretch toward the mountains. This is a landscape meant to be lived with, not just looked at. Touches of art, culture and history breathe life into this residencelike a nod to Pieter Bruegel's The Hunters in the Snow in the form of a range backdrop, Renaissance-inspired ceiling medallions and custom marble and tile throughout, evoking a sense of place that transcends time. The guest cottage/man cave, charming and versatile, offers extra space for friends, family, or a retreat of your own. As far removed as the villa seems, when you seek adventure, the North Rim of the Black Canyon lies just eight miles awayone of Colorado's most breathtaking wonders, practically in your backyard.
