Named "BridgeCreek" by its owner, this home was awarded Custom Home of the Year in 1999 by Custom Builder Magazine. This 10,063 sq. ft. Telluride retreat was designed for a family from New Jersey. They wanted a house that spoke of the local area, once rich with mining and ranching. This design concept resulted in a pair of buildings - a main house and bunkhouse - that look like they were built over time.
The buildings are set off from each other by ten degrees, and connected by a 40-ft. bridge. Differing materials distinguish the two buildings - gray windows and pitched dormers on the main house, clad in red barnwood; red windows and shed dormers on the bunkhouse, clad in brown barnwood.
A creek runs through the property, which you can see as you drive up the driveway. You drive across the creek as you go under the bridge. The creek historically had been an
old irrigation ditch, which was reclaimed during excavation and landscaping and turned into a spectacular water feature.
