About the Property

Modern Mountain Design. Iconic Views. Seamless Luxury Living.

Perched above the treetops in the gated resort enclave of Bachelor Gulch, 76 Elkhorn masterfully blends timeless architecture with today’s most coveted design sensibilities. Built in 2012—making it one of the newer homes in the area—this residence was thoughtfully designed with a more modern, open-concept layout and superior indoor-outdoor flow, setting it apart from earlier-built homes that follow more traditional, compartmentalized designs. A significant remodel further refined its mountain modern aesthetic, introducing curated interior upgrades and the addition of luxury Weiland glass wall systems that open the home to its stunning alpine surroundings with effortless grace.

Unmatched Access in Every Season

Set in one of the most convenient and easily accessible pockets of Bachelor Gulch, the location delivers the ideal blend of privacy, panoramic views, and seamless access—whether you're arriving for the weekend, skiing out to catch first tracks, or heading to dinner in Beaver Creek, Edwards, or Avon.

Ski access is remarkably convenient—while not true door-to-door ski-in/ski-out, you can ski out with a short 265-yard walk to click in near the Lower Beaver Creek Express Lift, and ski in via the scenic Second Chance run, then click off just 170 yards from the home. If you prefer, the Dial-A-Ride service can whisk you directly to The Ritz-Carlton Bachelor Gulch in just minutes, where après-ski, fine dining, and spa amenities await—without ever stepping into your bindings. For added ease…you can store all your gear at the Bachelor Gulch Club, located inside the Ritz, where memberships are available for owners seeking slope-side convenience and luxury. As a homeowner in Bachelor Gulch, you’ll also enjoy exclusive access to The Ritz-Carlton’s heated outdoor pool—perfect for relaxing after a day on the mountain.

In the warmer months, this location becomes a golfer’s paradise, with ten world-class golf courses within ten miles, including Red Sky Ranch, Sonnenalp, Beaver Creek Golf Club, and more. Whether your perfect day includes skiing, teeing off, or lounging poolside, 76 Elkhorn delivers year-round alpine living at its finest.

A Home That Lives Like a Retreat

Framing the Gore Range and Game Creek Bowl in Vail at every turn, the home lives like a true single-level residence. The main floor features an oversized three-car garage, expansive great room, remodeled William Ohs kitchen, hearth room, primary suite, and dedicated power office—all intentionally oriented to maximize sunlight and capture the dramatic views.

The great room centers around a newly reimagined gas fireplace and opens to a spacious, view-filled deck through multiple Weiland doors. The deck itself is an extension of the living space, complete with a built-in gas fire pit, outdoor television lounge, built-in grill, and retractable awning—a true outdoor entertaining space that’s both luxurious and livable.

Timeless Craftsmanship, Thoughtful Updates

The kitchen retains the original craftsmanship of its William Ohs design, refreshed with new countertops, backsplash, painted cabinetry, and premium appliances including Sub-Zero and Wolf. The hearth room, connected directly to the deck via a new Weiland door, reinforces the seamless indoor-outdoor connection. A butler’s pantry with wine cooler and secondary refrigerator makes both entertaining and everyday living effortless.

The primary suite is a sanctuary of its own—featuring direct deck access, a gas fireplace, and uninterrupted views. The fully reimagined primary bathroom includes dual walk-in closets and refined finishes, while preserving the original layout’s thoughtful dual water closets. A secondary laundry area enhances main-level function, while a dedicated office with its own Weiland door opens directly to the deck—perfect for inspiring views and private calls.

Entertain, Unwind & Indulge Below

The lower level offers a secondary living area with fireplace and access to a hot tub–ready stone patio, along with a full wet bar, temperature-controlled wine room, junior suite, twin bunk room, second laundry room, and a dual-function sauna with both infrared and traditional heat. The mechanical room is accessed from outside, allowing for easy service without disturbing interior spaces.

Smart Technology. Seamless Comfort.

This home is a fully integrated Savant smart home, with centralized in-wall control for lighting, window shades, security, and climate. Radiant in-floor heating runs throughout, while air conditioning on the top two levels ensures comfort year-round. Other upgrades include wide-plank oak flooring, new carpet, full interior repaint, hardwired electric shades, updated thermostats, restained exterior, replaced garage door openers, and a snowmelt system for the driveway and all stone surfaces.

A Rare Opportunity

This is more than a residence—it’s a rare opportunity to own a modernized mountain retreat in Bachelor Gulch, where every detail has been curated for comfort, convenience, and elevated living. Whether you’re spending ski season on the slopes, summers on the course, or simply soaking in the views from your private deck, 76 Elkhorn delivers a lifestyle that’s as refined as it is relaxed.

BACHELOR GULCH

z BG_RitzCarlton_Exterior

Founded in 1996, Bachelor Gulch stands as a leading ski-in, ski-out resort gated community. Situated on Beaver Creek Mountain, it offers 85% of its residences direct ski-in, ski-out access, linking together the Arrowhead Village, Bachelor Gulch Village, and Beaver Creek Village. The homes and mountain lodges within Bachelor Gulch are seamlessly integrated into the surrounding meadows, trails, and forests, offering stunning views of the Gore Range, Vail Mountain, and Castle Peak. Its architectural design draws inspiration from the essence of national and state parks across the country, aiming for structures that harmoniously coexist with the natural environment. The community is committed to privacy and exclusivity, providing residents with a true sense of retreat. The neighborhood’s ski lift, originating at the Ritz Carlton, is at the heart of the area, with the Ritz Carlton Club offering a 5-star experience for residents and boasts my favorite apres ski scene in the wintertime featuring live music, an ice bar, BBQ, and cozy warmth with overhead heaters on the gorgeous patio. The village-to-village ski trail system seamlessly connects Beaver Creek to Bachelor Gulch to Arrowhead, while a convenient “dial-a-ride” system ensures easy transportation within the community. During the summer and fall months, the ski trails transform into excellent hiking and biking paths, complemented by the neighboring Beaver Creek Golf Course and additional shopping, cuisine and culture. Bachelor Gulch is also located where it is easy to zip to Beaver Creek, Edwards or Avon depending upon what you are up for on any given day. For those seeking privacy and luxury and premiere ski-in ski-out access, Bachelor Gulch offers high-end single-family homes, luxurious condominiums, and fractional units through the Ritz-Carlton® Bachelor Gulch Timbers Resort.
