Set on 35 acres with sweeping views of Telluride’s Wilson Peak and the San Juan Mountains, 1068 Wilson Way is a striking modernist estate. Designed by the late, renowned architect Hugh Newell Jacobsen, widely recognized for his modern pavilion-based residences, the home features 10 large, intimately scaled joint buildings, reminiscent of the barns and the outbuildings of rural America. Spanning 6,561 square feet and encompassing 4 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms, the streamlined main home is intentionally illuminated by natural light through expansive glass panes that also showcase the grand Colorado mountain vistas beyond.
Situated within the exclusive Gray Head enclave, 1068 Wilson Way offers unrivaled access to private trails for hiking, mountain biking, and snowshoeing, as well as tennis courts and a trout-stocked fishing pond. The home’s design makes a dramatic departure from typical mountain architecture, utilizing quarried limestone, steel, and glass to set itself apart while maintaining connection to the surrounding landscape.
Inside, the home pays homage to the Jacobsen design philosophy, which states, “Architecture is order, and this order carries throughout the building down to the smallest corner…Our detailing is deliberately sparse and linear in order to enhance the spaces within and without.”
A gabled ceiling in the great room frames a massive limestone fireplace, while whitewashed walls and large windows provide room for relaxation and interpretation. Dark gray tile runs throughout the connected spaces, which are each housed in pavilions that provide uninterrupted views.
The home is listed by The Agency Telluride’s Stewart Seeligson and Kristen Muller, who noted that, “Every line, every material, creates a seamless connection between structure and setting. It is not just a residence, but an experience, one that enchants from the very first glimpse, and lingers long after you’ve arrived.”
In addition to the four spacious bedrooms, the home boasts a 7-person theater ideal for private showings ahead of the Telluride Film Festival and a bright office with capacious storage throughout its built-in shelves. An in-ground hot tub outside the primary suite offers après-ski relief while overlooking the snow-capped peaks, while each pavilion opens to a semi-private terrace.
