STAY

“The framing alone is wonderfully substantial. The walls are 8 inches thick and each of the common studs is literally timber. As we were putting the finishes in and the core started to disappear, I felt remorse that a buyer won’t be able to see it, but when you walk through the house you can feel it. It’s so quiet, and dense, and substantial,” Fischer says. “When the brokerage community confronts me to substantiate the value, I tell them they don’t even know what they’re selling because there’s no other house like it.”

Beneath all the old-world charm and style is top-of-the line modern technology and lighting. “The Swiss mountain modern style is so chic and so traditional, but it’s over-the-top modern in others,” says Jim Schlegel, Broker Associate, SSF. “Even something as simple as the canned lights are $800 a piece.”

On top of the value of the house is the location. “What’s special about Timber Trail is they have a private shuttle and access to all the amenities at One Ski Hill Place. It makes you feel like part of the resort area. It’s elite resort homeownership at its finest,” Schlegel says.

Currently under construction, the home is expected to be completed in summer 2022 but is currently listed as a spec house. “It is risky. We want it to be a showcase,” Vaudan says. “The price seems high, but the quality, authenticity and the typicity of this house make it unique, a real standout in the market.”

The one room that exemplifies the uniqueness of the house is the hammam, a Turkish-style steam room in the spa. “We build plenty of steam showers, but this is more like a spa you’d find in a resort. There’s a shower, sauna, steam room, bathroom, and lounge, but what’s really special is there’s a plastered ceiling we painted black and fiber optic LED lights that make it look like a night sky.”

This exquisite chalet showcases a modern interpretation of traditional Swiss alpine architecture and design. It is a masterpiece of light and space, wood and stone and the authentic feeling a mountain dwelling should bring to our mind and body - simple, exquisite luxury.
