A Mine Shaft is a magnificent Breckenridge chalet at the base of Peak 8, within walking distance of several slopes and lifts. Commissioned by the owners and designed by local architecture firm BHH Partners, the chalet was built in the style of a classic Colorado mining site, utilizing an extraordinary array of vintage reclaimed materials. The finished result—a 6,700-square-foot masterpiece at once historic, visionary, and utterly comfortable—won the Parade of Homes Prize in 2013. Six lovely bedrooms (including two master suites and a bunkroom) accommodate up to twenty guests, making it the perfect choice for multiple families. Superb modern amenities include a game room, home theater, gourmet kitchen, and outdoor hot tub.

The chalet's great room is full of light, with glass doors opening to the expansive deck and sweeping mountain views. The open-concept space includes a hearth-warmed lounge, a beautiful dining table for ten, and a luminous breakfast nook, while the deck boasts a barbeque grill and alfresco table. The superb kitchen is fully equipped with chef-grade appliances, a granite breakfast bar, and beautiful cabinetry. Reclaimed materials and custom décor include Wyoming snow fence, oak floors from a Kentucky barn, banisters made of ski lift cable, a dining table crafted in Patagonia—and much more.

The spacious game room includes a kitchenette and wet bar, while the lovely home theater features cinema-style seating and surround-sound. The hot tub is on the lower patio, welcoming soothing soaks amid the winter snowfall or summer evening light.

Each of the master suites features a king bed and ensuite bathroom with dual vanity, shower, and tub. One of the suites features a walk-in closet and fireplace, and its bathtub has hydro-massage jets. There are three queen guestrooms with ensuite bathrooms, while the kids' room includes four queen-size bunk beds and an ensuite bathroom. There is also an additional queen-size sofa bed in the upstairs den.

A Mine Shaft includes a heated three-car garage, an ample driveway, and convenient ski storage with boot warmers. You're just two minutes on foot from semi-private trails leading to Colorado Super Chair, Rocky Mountain Super Chair, and Claimjumper Trail. Main Street is a five-minute drive away.
