Steamboat Springs, Dream Farmhouse on 35 Acres

Full Description:

This historic 1912 farmhouse located in the beautiful Elk River Valley rests on 35 lush pasture and hay producing acres, with Smith Creek running the length of the property, it is surrounded by high mountain cattle ranches, but just a 20 minute scenic drive along the Elk River to Colorado's world renowned Steamboat Springs Ski Resort.

The home was built by a local German craftsman for a prominent Steamboat family and it had the distinction of being the first house in the valley to have indoor plumbing. The lady of the house served daily meals in the large dining room to the ranch hands working for the family. The house was moved in 1988, approximately 6 miles west to the 35 acre parcel on Smith Creek and seated on a new full concrete basement foundation. The location offers privacy and serenity, a wonderful getaway from the hustle and bustle of town.

The house has a total of 6 bedrooms and 2 baths. Living room with gas fireplace, large formal dining room, galley style kitchen with eating area, and one bedroom are on the first floor. The 2nd floor has 4 bedrooms, one of which could easily be converted to a large bathroom since the preliminary plumbing work has been done. The original 2 story floor plan is still intact, it is bright and open with stunning views to be enjoyed from the large windows in every room. The house has been completely restored and redecorated in a sophisticated country style, with rustic wide pine plank wood floors. The newly finished 900 sq.ft. basement can be used as guest quarters or kids' hangout, it has kitchenette, bath, bedroom and large living area with gas stove.

The beautiful circa 1898 barn on the property has a unique history, it was also moved from a location on a mountain just to the west, called Pilots Knob where it was used near a turn of the century sawmill. After being moved in 1938 it became home to the mare, Bonnie, who produced one of the first champions of the Quarterhorse breed in Colorado. The barn was awarded "Historical Barn" status by "Historical Routt County" in 1996 and remains intact with its bronze plaque over the entrance.

Steamboat Springs, Colorado - "Ski Town USA"
Elevation 6992 feet
Population 11,000

The historical significance of the area includes major coal mining facilities, moving coal by rail to the western and midwest states, sheep and cattle ranching, farming and skiing! The valley's rich history is exhibited throughout "The Tread Of Pioneers" museum located in downtown Steamboat Springs. It starts with the Ute Indians who populated the area before the first pioneers arrived in 1875 to settle in this beautiful valley. Summers were sublime in this rich and fertile valley, but in the winter, skiing was a way of life for children and adults with the valley blanketed in 3 to 4 feet of snow. Kids went to school on skis almost twice the size of conventional skis today. In 1913 Norwegian Carl Howelson came to Steamboat and introduced ski jumping and skiing as recreation. Skiing became so popular it drew crowds of people traveling by train to watch the events and also to enjoy the health benefits of the many hot springs, for which Steamboat was known. Today Steamboat is a destination for outdoor enthusiasts from all over the world. Besides the skiing, there are so many activities to enjoy year around, such as 6 week ProRodeo circuit in summer and 4 day Winter Carnival events in winter. The down to earth Steamboat, however, is still a ranching town with a charming western feel, with ranching activities a part of every day life.

Villa Rockledge - A Handcrafted Masterpiece Rich in History

Full Description: Featured on the LUXURY PROPERTY BLOG. Generations of privileged guests have been enchanted by this astonishing villa, from its exquisite craftsmanship and astonishing views to its rare private beach. Charmed since it first took shape on the high cliffs of Laguna Beach nearly a century ago, the incomparable Villa Rockledge was the vision of Frank A. Miller and Arthur Benton, the developer and architect of Southern California's famous Mission Inn resort in Riverside. Built on a spectacular site Miller had owned since 1887, the estate was created as a gift to his wife, Marion. He called it Mariona. In late 1918, under the watchful eyes of Miller and Benton, the crews and artisans who built the Mission Inn began to craft this stunning residence by hand from the thick cement foundations and retaining walls to the rustic stone towers, large open oceanside porches and ornamental chimneys. Each leaded glass casement window, heavy beam, hand-sanded mahogany floor, wrought iron railing and masterpiece timework was handmade. The process took 4 years. As the movie industry emerged, the growing coastal resort and art colony of Laguna Beach became a getaway playground. An invitation to Villa Rockledge was a highly coveted prize. Hollywood luminaries like Clifton Webb, Robert Mitchum and Errol Flynn basked on its private beach. Bette Davis met her future husband, William Grant Sherry, on the mystical estate. In the same hands for 35 years, lovingly restored to its original grandeur, Villa Rockledge is on the National Registry of Historic Places. "Rarely do events of history so conspire to create a private place, privately owned, with a record that traces the life and times of a public place known and revered by countless thousands. Such a place is Villa Rockledge of Laguna Beach, California." Built in 1918 by builder Frank Miller builder of the Mission Inn or Riverside, this three bedroom three and a half bathroom historical landmark, sits built into the cliffs of Laguna Beach. This is a 5,500 square foot home with and office loft, huge great room with vaulted ceilings, two sitting rooms, two kitchens, and it's own private beach. This home is one of a kind! ONCE IN A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY Villa Rockledge is a rare jewel in one of the world's most desirable real estate locations, a once in a lifetime opportunity to own a piece of history. Stunning in location, and steeped in the best of California's early history, Villa Rockledge sits perfectly juxtaposed between beautiful coastline, world class climate, and Laguna Beach, one of California's most natural, artistic and desirable towns. "The overall quality is complex, dynamic and with a very pleasant sense of mystery. The villa is in excellent, well-maintained condition. One must see it from the ocean side to really appreciate its beauty." - State of California Historic Resources Inventory. In late 1918, under the watchful eyes of iconic historical developers Frank A. Miller and Arthur Benton, the same crews and artisans who built the famous Mission Inn, began to craft this stunning residence by hand - from the thick cement foundations and retaining walls to the rustic stone towers, large open ocean-side porches and ornamental chimneys. Each leaded glass casement window, heavy beam, hand-sanded mahogany floor, wrought iron railing and masterpiece timework was handmade. The process took four years. BREATHTAKINGLY UNIQUE - A LEGACY FOR GENERATIONS Miller and Benton filled Villa Rockledge with a dazzling array of "new" Mediterranean and Mission influences that captured the idealized beauty of Early California. Encouraged by Miller, the style would soon sweep Southern California, winning generations of hearts. Soon after, some of Hollywoods most famous movie celebrities came and stayed, an homage to the unique place and style that is still Villa Rockledge today. A true legacy house for generations to come, the views from every window are exquisite. The private beach is both rare and divine, and one of the last available private beaches in California.

The Molly Brown House Museum

Full Description: The Molly Brown House Museum stands as an enduring symbol of the Victorian era and the city of Denver. In the 1880s the lucky few who made millions in the mountains, the railroads, or trade moved to the prestigious Capitol Hill neighborhood. Margaret and J.J.s house at 1340 Pennsylvania Avenue was built in 1889 for Isaac and Mary Large, who made their fortune in silver mining. They commissioned the well-known architect William Lang to design the home. Lang combined the styles of Classic Queen Anne, Richardsonian Romanesque, and refined neoclassical to create a unique and eclectic home. Lang used rhyolite stone on the exterior to create a rugged façade; he then complimented this ruggedness with smooth red sandstone. Lang also incorporated stained glass windows, ornamental wood panels and curved brackets to create a lavish appearance. The house contained all the modern technology of the day including electricity, indoor plumbing, steam heat and telephone lines. Shortly after the completion of the house, the Sherman Silver Act was repealed and the Larges became victims of the silver crash that followed. On April 3, 1894 the Larges sold their home to James Joseph J.J. Brown. The Browns made changes to the house by adding a retaining wall to the front porch and enclosing the back porch. In 1898, J.J. transferred the titled of the house into Margarets name. Margaret owned the house until her death in 1932. When Margaret was traveling about she would often rent the house to various wealthy families. In 1902, while the Browns were on a world trip, the home became the Governors mansion for Governor James Orman and his family. Margaret continued to rent the house until the declining neighborhood and the Great Depression forced her to turn the home into a boarding house under the supervision of her housekeeper, Ella Grable. Upon Margaret's death in 1932, at the height of the Great Depression, the house was sold. Subsequent owners altered the house dramatically, creating twelve separate spaces for roomers. In 1958, Art Leisenring purchased the house and ran a gentlemen's boarding house. In 1960 Leisenring leased the house to the city, and it was utilized as a home for wayward girls. Leisenring knew of Margaret "Molly" Brown as she was being immortalized on stage and screen in the "Unsinkable Molly Brown." During the 1960s, Denver was in the process of undergoing "urban renewal," and bulldozers demolished many of the finest buildings to make room for high-rise apartments and parking lots. Concerned about what he was seeing happen in the neighborhood, Art Leisenring and a group of other concerned citizens appealed to the then-governor's wife, Ann Love, for help. On December 11, 1970, the group incorporated to form Historic Denver, Inc. and made a grass roots effort to save the Molly Brown House from demolition. Through massive media appeals and other fund raising efforts, Historic Denver, Inc. was able to purchase the house and begin restoration. Through microscopic paint analysis, architectural research, and studying original house photographs from 1910 the house was finally restored to its original splendor.
