Set on 3 acres behind the gates of Cordillera Ranch, bordering a wildlife preserve, 140 Elk Woods Road sits on one of the most coveted lots in the community and dead center on the jagged Gore Range skyline. Elk bed down in the adjacent preserve. This is not a backdrop. It's a front-row seat. The home is built the way things used to be built with stone, chinking, heavy timber, five fireplaces, and a hearth room that earns the name. The chef's kitchen feeds a crowd. The west-facing deck and patio put the Gore Range right in front of you, morning coffee or evening cocktail. The main-level primary suite operates as its own wing with private office adjacent, spa and firepit on its own patio, separate from the guest hot tub. Five bedrooms, every one ensuite. Wine cellar, dog wash, three laundry hookups, smart home system. Fully furnished and turn-key. Recent updates: new roof, new carpet, fresh exterior paint, upgraded mechanicals. Move in and enjoy it. The long, lit driveway sets the tone before you reach the front door -- close to the gate, golf course, and TimberHearth Restaurant, but private enough that the world stays outside the fence. HOA dues include the Dave Pelz short course, tennis, a luxury fitness center, pools, private fly fishing, and hiking trails. Optional Club at Cordillera membership opens three championship courses by Jack Nicklaus, Hale Irwin, and Tom Fazio. Cordillera sits within one million acres of White River National Forest. Beaver Creek is 15 minutes. Vail is 25. Skiing, snowshoeing, sleigh rides, and the Cordillera Vail Gondola Club are right outside the gate. Legacy property. Legacy community. This lot position doesn't come around often.
