115 Tristan

115 Tristan makes Telluride ski days unusually easy. Set in the Tristant community above Mountain Village, this 3,800-square-foot home has a private community funicular that stops right at the front door, carries up to 8 guests, and takes you directly to the slopes for true ski-in/ski-out convenience. Add sweeping San Sophia Ridge views, four bedrooms, four and a half baths, a private hot tub, and a full fitness room, and the home is set up for groups of eight who want mountain access without giving up space or comfort.

Log walls, timber beams, and a stone fireplace set the tone in the main living area, where a wall of windows frames the peaks. The gas fireplace anchors the seating, and after a day on the mountain it's the natural spot to land for a movie or to watch the ridge go pink at dusk. The open-concept layout keeps the kitchen in the conversation, with a wide range, plenty of counter to work on, a breakfast bar for slow mornings, and a dining table that seats eight for the long-dinner nights. In warmer months, the deck off the living area takes over: grill on the Big Green Egg and eat outside with the ridgeline as your backdrop.

Upstairs, the primary suite is a retreat of its own, with a king bed, mountain views, a flat-screen TV, and an ensuite that pairs a jetted soaking tub set beneath a window with a steam shower. A second king bedroom shares the floor, with a full bath just across the hall. Down on the lower level, two more bedrooms each hold a pair of twin beds and a flat-screen TV, one with its own ensuite and the other with a full bath steps away, and both open onto a shared balcony that looks straight out at the mountains.

Also on the lower level is a fitness room that goes well beyond the token treadmill: cardio machines, strength equipment, free weights, and open floor space for stretching or yoga. A full laundry room and a mudroom with gear cubbies round out the floor, so wet boots and skis have somewhere to live.

Then there's the hot tub, sunk into the lower deck and angled squarely at the San Sophia Ridgeline. Alpenglow hits the peaks in the evening, and this is where you'll want to be when it does.

The location keeps Telluride easy from the moment you step outside. The Tristant funicular makes getting onto the mountain simple, while Mountain Village is close by for restaurants, shops, groceries, and après-ski stops. The Village Market is about a quarter mile away, and a nearby free gondola takes you to downtown Telluride and Colorado Avenue in about 15 minutes for dinner, shopping, festivals, and nights out. When the snow melts, hiking and mountain-bike trails take over the surrounding terrain; Telluride Golf Club is about half a mile away, and summer events keep the area lively well beyond ski season.

Telluride, once Colorado's best-kept secret, is now the most sought-after destination for its stunning landscapes and endless outdoor activities. If you're visiting during the winter, prepare to spend the majority of your time on-mountain, where a lift pass gives you access to more than 2,000 acres of skiable terrain. The summer attracts climbers and mountain bikers, plus fans of the iconic cultural events hosted in town: the Telluride Film Festival and the Telluride Bluegrass Festival.
