A Breckenridge, Colorado, home built with Swiss craftsmanshipand cabin parts
ByLISAKLEINEmerald-green slopes when it's warm; soaring, snow-capped peaks in winter; hikes past streams flowing through valleys or zooming on skis through the powdery snow; cozy cabins sprouting from the landscape,readyfor adventure IsthistheAlps or the Rocky Mountains? While the two ranges certainly have their differences, the European and North American counterparts are at least kindred spirits
It isno surprise, then, that an Alps-style cabin would feel right at home in Breckenridge, Colorado. Swiss firm Chalissima created just that with Le Mayen, a contemporary Colorado property with aSwisssouleven built with materials reclaimed from centuries-old cabins in Switzerland called mayen - in the exclusive, and aptly named, Timber Trail neighborhood
"The craftsmanship and attention to detail are on a whole new level - that's the Swiss influence you're seeing," says Michele Hart, broker associate with Slifer Smith &Frampton Real Estate,inavideo about theproperty,pointing out arepurposed ceilingbeam that hasthedate1709 intricatelycarved into it

Giving New Life to Le Mayen
Giving new life to the mayen that dot the countrysidein thealpineregion of Switzerland,Italy and Austria is a specialty of Chalissima's architects, designers and carpenters Generations have lived in these mountain cabins, many of which eventually fell vacant. Chalissima collects their ceiling beams, siding, shingles, doors, window frames and more, all with a 200- to 350-year history - and authentic patina. This special lumber forms the foundation of Chalissima's homes, whether traditional designs or modern interpretations like Le Mayen While the firm hasworked in itshome country for 60 years, it isgainingtractionelsewhere,especiallyinColorado Le Mayen's more than 7,500 square feet radiate the story of this reclaimed wood and maintain that cozy-cabinfeel,all withamodern,sleek style
The open main floor has walls of windows, perfect for the mountain views, with the living room, kitchen and dining room centered around a dramatic fireplace surrounded on all four sides by glass for the perfect inside views The lower level, an entertainer's dream, includes a game room, custom bar and wine cellar with a stone floor, access to the hot tub outside and a full hammam with a steam room and dry sauna to cure those after-ski aches. Skiing is, of course, a major attraction in Breckenridge, and can by done right from the front door despite being just five minutes fromtown.
FROM THEHISTORIC wood to the chic design and thecosmic connection between mountain townson two continents, Le Mayen is a truly special, one-of-a-kind home. "You can feel it assoon asyou walk through the front door," Ms. Hart says in the property video "There's nothing like this in the Colorado Rockies" IIP
