Must SeeTop 10 Florida Condos For SaleWhen it comes to owning mansions, the super wealthy frequently pay out millions for size, drama, all the bells and whistles and a whopping electric bill to keep it all running. Nary a thought is given to trimming the bills or considering adding an old Hippie favorite: self-sustainability. But some of today’s billionaire intelligentsia are more aware and are building self-sustainability into their new mansions that have even more extravagant perks and take full advantage of new technology.
One of the very best examples of this advanced architecture is found in the Vail Valley of Colorado in one of the most popular ski areas in the country. Perched on a ridge overlooking Lake Creek and Squaw Creek Valleys, this stone and timber contemporary mountain estate has everything one would expect but with additional surprises. At 10,561-square-feet, the house contains six bedrooms and eight baths in two wings that are connected by a 50-foot glass-walled bridge walkway with stunning views. Included in the open floor plan are chef’s kitchen, dining, great room, office, and library. There are also a fully equipped guest apartment, three laundry rooms, multiple stone fireplaces and large capacity wine cellar. The surprise? A professional telescope observatory accessed three storeys above by an open-sided elevator with glass ceiling, making it possible for all wannabe astronomers to gaze at the moon, planets and objects that go zip through the night. Add to that a state-of-the-art indoor tropical greenhouse that provides year-round fruits and vegetables. With an array of solar panels with battery backup to run the home via an android device and a pond providing geothermal heating and cooling, this represents the best in elegant, responsible mansion habitation.
