From Vitruvius Properties

Vitruvius Properties was established in 2015 to create an exclusive Rocky Mountain experience rooted in Strength, Utility and Beauty. We do this by repurposing historic gold mining acreage patented by the U.S. government during the “pikes peak or bust” Colorado Gold Rush into stunning sites for sleek, modern homes, many of which employ grid-independent technologies.

This project, the “Bon Ton,” is a perfect example of such. The “Bon Ton” was designed to be a panoramic observation house, a quiet retreat, a vacation oasis, and contemplative mountaintop residence that embraces views from all directions. The cantilevered deck that wraps around the upper level provides unobstructed views, from the Denver metro 4000 ft below, to Mount Blue Sky, across the Continental Divide, then Alps Hill. Below the observation level is an aspen forest laced with pines and wild flowers. A vaulted ceiling commands a completely open, minimalist space. The large kitchen island is perfect for hosting cooking classes or an intimate evening with guests. The two bedrooms and 2 baths that occupy the middle level have exceptionally high ceilings and exposed structural members. The lower level is a flex space which might function as a gym, yoga studio, den, game room, bunk room, woodworkers shop, or storage space for cars and ATVs.. Out your front door and within minutes walk are horseback riding, miles of ATV trails, hiking, snowshoeing, mountain biking, and the ability to explore historic gold mining relics dotting the mountain..
