This may just be the best homesite in all of Singletree! It is much larger than most and has long, expansive views across the lush Sonnenalp Golf Course, looking straight towards Beaver Creek’s ski slopes and all with zero highway impact. This 5-bedroom single-family home beacons for everyone to gather gives plenty of room to spread out, with a main living room, two family rooms, and other wonderful little reading nooks and spaces. It lives comfortably for only two people but then has all the room in the world for family and friends to gather. The extensive outdoor living spaces flow well throughout the property, and a dream backyard is ideal for dogs, kids, or adults alike.
Upon arriving at 170 Mesquite Drive you are greeted by a large 3-car garage and a whimsical garden entrance. Walk in the front door and be immediately pulled into the commanding south-facing views of the ski slopes and golf course. Descend the staircase gazing at the jaw-dropping views and the impressive great room with high ceilings and beams. The kitchen, living area, and dining space seamlessly connect with great flow from inside to outside. It becomes immediately apparent that this home is all about maximizing your enjoyment of the Colorado experience, from the chef’s kitchen with easy access right outside to the outdoor grilling area adjacent to a large deck with a spacious covered area for dining al fresco. Enjoy a drink and appetizer by the firepit while manning the grill for a summer BBQ. Take a deep breath and think to yourself how grateful you are that you made the choices that landed you right here at this moment.
When inside on late nights in the summer or cold nights in the winter, the double island chef’s kitchen draws everyone to gather while staying out of the way of whoever is in charge of cooking. Enjoy family and friends at the formal dining area with a bar that overlooks the same incredible views. Wind the night down with the family sitting in the living room with dramatic windows, the perfect evening alpenglow over the golf course, and a fire glimmering in the fireplace.
The main level master suite includes two large walk-in closets, a 5-piece bath with jetted tub, a huge master balcony, and a gas fireplace. Each of the 4 large guest bedrooms all have en-suite bathrooms, 2 enjoy walk-out sliding doors to the backyard, and 2 have bonus lofts for added storage or fun space for kiddos. One of the guest bedrooms is near the master suite, so it is perfect if you need a close bedroom or is a great location for doubling as an office. Two guest suites are next to the home’s cozy and comfortable main-level family room, perfect for private downtime away from the main living space. Although the residence lives almost entirely on two levels once in the home, when you have a full house or a guest that prefers a high level of privacy, there is one lower-level guest bedroom off the second family room with a bar area that is perfect for people that seek high-level privacy. It boasts it’s own quick access to the lower deck and hot tub.
This house has an easy driveway and an envious 3-car garage with epoxy floors and natural light. There is an additional bonus heated finished space over the garage with plumbing available for an additional bathroom, and it is waiting for the next owner to reimagine. There is also bonus storage space not included in the square footage that is perfect for storing outdoor furniture in the winter and gear that you don’t want to clutter up your garage. You even have a great outdoor shed for your tools and landscaping items.
In a property with such incredible indoor/outdoor living space and envious ski slope views, it may be tempting to stay home and hang out rather than enjoy all that the Vail Valley has to offer yet, there is a reason that this Singletree home speaks to both primary and second homeowners alike – great sun, epic views, and convenience to all that the Vail Valley has to offer. Just minutes to downtown Edwards to enjoy shopping and dining or to take in a movie. Singletree is a hiker's haven boasting 4 of Edwards’ most popular trails.
At the heart of Singletree is the Sonnenalp Club (memberships available), where friends and family can enjoy the incredible golf course, a state-of-the-art fitness center, two outdoor pools, tennis courts, and Harvest Restaurant. The club is known for having one of the best decks in the Vail Valley, with its own breathtaking views of the golf course and ski slopes. In the winter, on days you don’t take advantage of being only 7 minutes from Beaver Creek skiing via Arrowhead, you can also purchase a ski shuttle pass and get dropped off right at the Vail slopes without the hassle of parking. Singletree has a Community Center with various amenities, including a large, grassy field perfect for soccer, frisbee, or a doggie playdate.
