4515 Bighorn RD D Vail, CO 81657

From the moment you arrive, this home announces its character. A charming red front entry door welcomes you beneath a covered landing, nestled privately among massive granite boulders and mature evergreens. Inside, the great room commands attention with soaring vaulted ceilings, exposed dark wood beams, and warm tongue-and-groove pine planking evoking the finest mountain lodge aesthetic. A floor-to-ceiling stacked stone fireplace anchors the living space while large wood-framed windows flood the room with natural light. Open sightlines seamlessly connect the living room, dining area, and kitchen into one grand entertaining space. The gourmet kitchen features a professional-grade six-burner gas range, floor-to-ceiling knotty alder cabinetry, and a large central island with sage green painted base, built-in wine storage, and thick granite countertops. A dining area seating eight or more sits beneath a dramatic wrought-iron chandelier, framed by a wall of windows that brings the mountain forest to every meal. The primary suite is a true sanctuary with vaulted ceilings, panoramic mountain and aspen views, a jetted soaking tub, frameless glass walk-in shower with rain showerhead, and a custom walk-in closet. Three additional bedrooms are beautifully appointed with their own distinct character, served by two renovated bathrooms with spa-like finishes including decorative tile walk-in showers and quartz countertops. The outdoor living experience is extraordinary. An expansive upper deck hosts a hot tub and dining area surrounded by mature aspens and pines, with direct views of a cascading waterfall and dramatic rock face above. A lower rear yard offers a flat, grassy lawn enclosed by a split-rail fence, a rare find in Vail, ideal for pets or children. The home's south-facing orientation captures abundant sunlight throughout the day, delivering a mountain home of uncommon quality, warmth, and setting.
