Tucked within the majestic San Juan Mountains, this luxury vacation home in Telluride is a refined mountain retreat designed by DawnElise of DawnElise Interiors International.
The exterior’s mix of timber, steel, and local stone makes a bold yet organic statement, blending seamlessly with the alpine surroundings. Step inside and you’re greeted by soaring ceilings, curated finishes, and breathtaking views at every turn. A custom-designed fireplace anchors the great room, where soft textures and warm tones create a sense of relaxed sophistication.
At the heart of the home is a chef’s kitchen designed for both function and beauty. Outfitted with premium appliances, a generous island, and clean architectural lines, the space invites casual mornings, après-ski gatherings, and lively dinners alike—all set against a backdrop of snow-dusted peaks or golden summer sunsets. The kitchen flows effortlessly into the dining area, where natural light pours in and the scenery becomes part of every shared meal. A custom wine cellar adds a luxurious touch, offering the perfect pairing of fine design and fine vintages.
For those blending work with leisure, a dedicated office offers inspiration in every direction., the workspace captures mountain views that shift with the seasons—creating a serene, light-filled environment where focus comes naturally.
Massive sliding glass doors lead to an outdoor terrace, where a fire pit, and lounge seating offer an ideal space for stargazing or unwinding after a day on the slopes. A sanctuary designed for stillness, celebration, and everything in between, it redefines luxury as an experience deeply rooted in place.
