Spectacular Lakefront Retreat This waterfront Bavarian chalet, situated on a double lot bordered by expansive recreational open space, features stunning views of Shadow Mountain Lake and Rocky Mountain National Park from every room. An architectural masterpiece, this ultra-private 6,557 SF home is offered with elegant custom finishes and furnishings, including 19th-century European antiques. Surprises abound: authentic Austrian murals and hand-painted elements inside and out, numerous window seat nooks with hidden storage and built-in bookcases, a spiral tree-trunk staircase leading to a charming loft, fairy tale-themed bunkroom and playroom, silver dollar bar, and slate-roofed kitchen cabinetry resembling a quaint alpine village. The primary bedroom is a haven of relaxation featuring a walk-in closet, covered balcony and luxurious bath with double shower and extra-deep, Japanese-style jacuzzi for two. Climb the unique spiral staircase to a private sitting room with fireplace. Adjacent, the second bedroom offers an ensuite bath. The walkout level hosts three additional bedrooms, two with ensuite baths. Entertain in style in the great room, which features a large HD TV, wet bar, billiard table and fireplace. Enjoy lake views from the office enclave, which also has a fireplace and half bath. An adjoining den can be converted to a home theater, "mancave," or wine room. An oversized 3-car garage allows for boat storage or larger vehicles, while the lower-level garage has ample room for snowmobiles, kayaks and canoes, and affords easy access to the lake and private dock. The large kitchen caters to every chef's desire with its abundant storage and luxury appliances and overlooks an elegant dining room. The adjoining breakfast nook doubles as a second office with built-in desk and cabinets. Step out onto the massive deck, perfect for hosting al fresco gatherings or watching moose graze in the backyard while osprey hover above the lake waters.
