374 Upper Ridge Road

Description

A Handcrafted Mountain Sanctuary in Alpine's Premier Setting. Poised high above the valley in Alpine's coveted Trail Ridge Subdivision, this remarkable mountain estate commands sweeping views of Palisades Reservoir, the Snake River Valley, and the dramatic sunsets that paint Black Mountain each evening. Surrounded by towering pines and thoughtfully designed to embrace its natural setting, this is more than a home--it's a private retreat crafted for those who appreciate exceptional quality, timeless design, and the beauty of the West. Encompassing over 3,900 square feet of meticulously finished living space, complemented by a charming guest cabin, every inch of this custom residence reflects master craftsmanship. Soaring cedar-lined ceilings, exposed timber accents, custom doors, rich walnut details, and solid oak flooring create a warm and sophisticated mountain aesthetic rarely found in today's market. The main level unfolds beneath vaulted ceilings reaching nearly 14 feet, where walls of windows frame the surrounding forest and distant mountain views. A wood-burning stove anchors the great room, creating an inviting gathering space, while the gourmet kitchen, appointed with Electrolux appliances, offers the perfect blend of function and elegance. The primary suite serves as a peaceful sanctuary, joined by a handsome executive office that easily doubles as a second main-level bedroom. The walk-out lower level continues the home's refined mountain character with two additional bedrooms, a full bath, dedicated office space, and a stunning cedar sauna designed for relaxation after a day spent exploring Wyoming's outdoors. Specialty spaces--including a piano room and secure steel-reinforced room--provide flexibility for hobbies, collections, and storage. Beneath the beauty lies a level of engineering seldom seen in residential construction. Hydronic in-floor heat, redundant mechanical systems, dual water heaters, reverse osmosis filtration, water softening, backup boiler systems, and extensive insulation deliver year-round comfort, efficiency, and peace of mind. Outside, the grounds are every bit as captivating as the home itself. Professional landscaping showcases mature trees, vibrant gardens, and more than sixty varieties of daylilies. Enjoy quiet mornings among the treetops from the redwood deck, gather around the firepit beneath ancient bristlecone pines, or watch the sunset unfold across the mountains from the Brazilian walnut front porch. Adding to the property's versatility is a beautifully appointed guest cabin offering over 300 square feet of private living space complete with its own garage, fireplace, and heating system--ideal for guests, extended family, or a secluded creative retreat. Rarely does a property combine this level of craftsmanship, privacy, infrastructure, and natural beauty. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered, creating a mountain home that feels equally suited for quiet reflection, grand entertaining, and generations of memories yet to be made.
