Arbor Vitae - experience the Tree of Life!

About this home

Experience the perfect blend of natural beauty and architectural elegance at Arbor Vitae, a breathtaking Frank Lloyd Wright inspired home and matching guest house, nestled among the trees on a large private lot. With enormous walls of glass on all levels, this enchanting mountain home invites the outside in -- enjoy the changing fall foliage, the night's sky, gently falling snow and the playful dance of wildlife right from the living space! This property was designed by Donald Chandler, a devotee of Frank Lloyd Wright's philosophy of “organic” principles: physical and aesthetic harmony with nature. Chandler's architectural expertise was highly sought and he completed more than 600 commissions throughout the United States. Please review the listing photos carefully. Arbor Vitae is a one-of-a-kind property with comforts you'd expect of a high-end private, quiet retreat in the mountains. It's an exceptional home for families and small groups looking for a quiet location where nature provides both serenity and entertainment.

The center of this home (brick fireplace) represents the trunk, its roof represents the canopy with huge eaves, and its three levels represent branches. The grand covered entry breezeway delivers guests to custom stained glass french doors, which open into wide-open spaces and soaring vaulted ceilings. This airy, open atmosphere is perfect for entertaining and quiet evenings spent curled up with a book and wine by the central gas logs fireplace. The oversize side deck, accessible through two sets of french doors off the dining room, is ideal for grilling meals and gathering around the Solo Stove fire pit on crisp fall, winter, and spring nights under the stars. The main floor is entirely for living, entertaining, relaxing and eating! Please note: this home has an elevator but it is inoperable. A handcrafted oak spiral staircase transports guest
