Property Description
Achieving the unprecedented juxtaposition of remote alpine living and lavish modern comforts, Rifugio Monte Rosso is a 3,021 sf, off-grid luxury compound located high in the San Juan Mountains. Poised on a southern facing, 20-acre parcel with a setting reminiscent of the Italian Alps, it's hard to believe that the property is less than two hours from two regional airports. The home itself was completed in early 2018 by two outdoor enthusiasts and is appointed with rich interior finishes including cedar paneling and hickory flooring. Enjoy the 30-mile vistas outside the soaring windows and decks, hike endless trails or access powder conditions on virgin slopes right out the front door. The compound can comfortably accommodate 14+ adventure-seekers amongst its 3 bedrooms,

3.5 baths, and sleeping loft. Light pine, beige cedar and hickory finishes, along with wood burning fireplaces in the great room and bedrooms creates an unparalleled escape. Completely off the grid, this mountain refuge still enjoys satellite internet and is easily operated and accessed year-round by most vehicles in the summer and in the winter via skis or a tracked-ATV (which conveys with the property).
