Situated in the Rocky Mountains on a plot of land with stunning views, a grand mountain residence is a rustic yet luxurious getaway home, made for relaxing.

Designed by Pearson Design Group, it’s perfectly conceived for enjoying all the area has to offer.

Calling Pointe on Andesite a cabin is a bit inaccurate because while it does have a decidedly rustic log construction style, it does not lack for any creature comforts. It was designed to accommodate not just family but also visiting friends. The entire structure is centered around relaxation and a feeling of home. This type of construction works with the location and the rugged geography, helping the structure successfully fit in with its surroundings.

Immediately upon entering, you get a sense of the rustic and casual nature of the three-level home. Interior designer Carole Young used traditional pieces to create a timeless, fuss-free look. The exposed natural logs that greet visitors are found throughout the house on both the walls and the ceilings. Most of the flooring is wood too, with the exception of some tile in one bathroom and stone in a few other areas.

All elements of the home are functional and are located to make the most of the space and the views. Speaking of the magnificent views, the house has a large number of windows that not only bring in plenty of natural light, but also give every room sweeping views of the mountains or the forest. The living room features a two-story, natural stone fireplace that dominates the space, however, the indoor balcony overhead, which is crafted from logs and branches, also commands attention.

The dining room may be a bit more on the formal side with regard to the arrangement, but the surroundings make it casual and perfect for entertaining or a family board game night. A substantial, traditional dining set has the visual weight to match the rugged walls and natural stone floor. The heavier design is also durable for many years of family wear.

Not surprisingly, the kitchen creatively combines the rustic construction and modern kitchen elements into one very chic and functional space. An industrial ventilation hood still has a refined edge and is the focal point of the kitchen, which has everything the home chef could ask for, including a super convenient pot faucet by the cooktop. With so much wood and a preponderance of neutral tones in the home, the red woven bistro style barstools lend the perfect pop of color that brightens the room.

The master bedroom plays up the rustic vibe with its one-of-a-kind bedframe made from natural timbers. The closet doors in this room are the ideal place to add some textural design with the more intricate construction of the front panels. In the adjacent master bath, a freestanding tub is more than inviting after a day of hiking or snow sports. The bathroom is roomy and has the added design feature of the natural stone wall that extends into a handy seating area, complete with fluffy sheepskin cushions.
