Steamboat Homes

Steamboat weather has begun to warm. With the flowers beginning to bloom and everyone bringing their bikes out of storage, Steamboat is looking green and beautiful. One of the best places to fully enjoy the Steamboat summer is the newly finished Edgemont. Not only a luxury, ski-in/ski-out residence in the winter, but these condos give you unprecidented access to the hiking and biking trails on the mountain.

The views from the Edgemont pool are also some of the best views in Steamboat. Depending on which side of the pool you are sitting, you can watch the sun set over the Yampa Valley and past the Flattops or can look up at the mountain, anticipating the trails that you can tackle tomorrow. Check out a few pictures below of the landscaping and the view from the pool. If you have any questions about Edgemont or the hiking and biking trails in Steamboat, feel free to send us an email at JonW@thesteamboatgroup.com or check out the Steamboat Co MLS

One Steamboat Place, Trailhead Lodge and Edgemont have seen success in their sales in 2009, but are continuing to push forward looking to better their sales in 2010. ‘According to research compiled by Bruce Carta, of Land Title Guarantee Co., from Routt County Assessor’s records, Edgemont developer Atira Group has realized $30.28 million on sales of 13 condominiums, and Trailhead Lodge, developed by Resort Ventures West, has sold 32 condominiums for a combined value of $27.43 million. One Steamboat Place, which began closing sales late in 2009, has reached $71 million, including 11 whole-ownership condominiums accounting for $40.45 million and 73 Residence Club memberships, which add $30.65 million.’

The article in the Steamboat Pilot notes that one of the most encouraging signs is seeing resort lenders come back into the market. The sales director at Edgemont stated that he was ‘impressed and encouraged by the fact that four of Edgemont’s 13 buyers were able to arrange conventional financing for the condominium purchases.’ With financing becoming easier for people interested in one of these luxury developments this should, among other factors, help initiate a stronger interest in these communities.

The exterior beauty of Edgemont, while stunning, pales in comparison to the interior design of the common areas and individual units. The style remains consistent with each unit and, like the exterior, is designed with a urban contemporary, western feel. The black granite counter tops and finished wood, contrasts beautifully the dark wooden chairs and furniture. Check out a few of the pictures below, and if you are interested in seeing more of this new luxury condo, please send me an email at jon@mybrokers.com

Edgemont luxury condos have reached their completion and getting those in the community and others around the US excited. A new, ski-in/ski-out residency located 200 meters above the base of the gondola, Edgemont will add to the changing base area, giving people a beautiful home and place to rest their feet while staying in Steamboat. The exterior of the facility is well-designed, integrating many aspects of contemporary and western architecture. The pool, featured below was intentionally designed to capitalize on the stunning views of the mountain and the valley. Check back on Sunday for a few pictures of the individual units and the common areas in Edgemont. For more information, or if you are interested in taking a tour of the facility, feel free to give me a call at 970.819.6930.

A recent article in At Home in Steamboat Springs, One Steamboat Place, Edgemont and Wildhorse are commended for their successful efforts at increasing the luxury lodging available at the base of Mt. Werner. While similar in the quality of lodging and amenities offered, these three developments each have distinct qualities that distinguish one from another.

One Steamboat Place has designed the interior of the community to flow with a deep red motif. This theme begins ‘at the front door and continues through the kitchen to a dining room banquette and on into one of several individual bathrooms.” While Edgemont, on the other hand gives each individual owner the opportunity to to furnish and design the interior of their vacation home. Wildhorse Meadows allows owner to ‘choose from four different color palettes and fabric selections to suit [your] tastes.’

Despite the differences in interior design, the article’s author, Tom Ross, describes the change in style of developments, where instead of the ‘lodge look and cowboys-and-Indians motif’ these luxury communities exude an ‘understated Western look of reclaimed barn timbers married with sleek light fixtures and industrial steel [which] allows art enthusiasts to show off divergent art collections.’

Concluding the article, Tom Ross summarizes that  ‘taken as a group, Steamboat’s trio of new signature properties have put Steamboat well on the way to realizing its goal of reclaiming it stature as one of the most contemporary ski villages anywhere.’

Happy Thanksgiving! Hope everyone is quite full and enjoyed their holiday. I was fortunate enough to get back on the mountain for a few runs with the family. We had another great day on the mountain and tons of people were out enjoying the mountain and the weather. I thought it was great to see so many groups and families out together today, an awesome way to spend this holiday. I wanted to post a few more pictures of the beautiful day as well as a few of the new ski communities that are on the mountain. Edgemont and One Steamboat Place are nearing completion and look better with each passing day. Fun to see the progress as we are out skiing!

Beautiful Thanksgiving Day

I took a tour of Edgemont yesterday to see the sample unit and the current status of the construction around the development. The sample unit looks great, beautifully furnished with great attention to detail. A few unique features caught my eye. The door from the master bedroom to the master bath slides into place, featuring clear but opaque glass. The showers are all very spacious, featuring large rain shower heads and an area to sit. But even with unit’s beauty, the featured amenities are sure to be the best part of Edgemont. Located directly on the mountain, the gondola is a short ski down; this allows you to get warmed up for the day before your first gondola ride. After the day is done you will want to immediately jump in the pool. Providing fantastic views of the mountain and the valley, you can enjoy the sunset and the Alpenglow at the same time.  Sure to be a great location for any ski vacation.

A quick glimpse at the model Edgemont unit shows beauty and attention to detail that makes us excited to see the finished development. Demonstrating a chic, western-resort feel, the interior finishing at Edgemont is sure to make you feel at home. And while relaxing at night, the location of the pool will provide some of the best views of the slopes once the day is done!
