Picture this: After a pristine morning on the slopes, you get back to the comfort of home in minutes and peel off steaming jackets without worrying about space to store them, because there's plenty of room for everything. You breath in oxygenated air in the comfort of home. No fights over who showers first because there are enough bathrooms for everyone, no cold bathroom floors because they're heated, and when everyone's cleaned up, you relax a living room with views of nature, cozy and warm from the snow. You all easily recharge for another day of skiing tomorrow — and ask the private chef what's for dinner. This is your life in a luxury ski town home.
I sourced two fantastic housing options from top real estate companies in the ski destinations of Steamboat Springs and Telluride in Colorado, where "luxury" is no exaggeration. These fantasy listings will let you get to the pow in style and extreme comfort.
This is part of Kiplinger's new series "Listed." Be aware that due to the nature of real estate, property statuses may have changed by the time you read this.
