4530 GOVERNORS POINT COLORADO SPRINGS CO 80906 7... BEDROOMS, 12 BATHROOMS, 8 FIREPLACES, 6 GARAGE SPACES 4 ACRES, 22,000 SQ FT Influenced by iconic Greene and Greene craftsman style homes, this dignified estate sits beneath the The steep slopes of Cheyenne Mountain. The distinctive and timeless details architect Clifford Taylor chose for the Residence at Governors Point embody the legacy of craftsman homes: architecture as fine Art. Set in the stunning geologic setting of the triple-peaked mountain, the intent was to reflect the power in the 22,000 square foot home. Using granite sourced from Cheyenne Mountain, a mass of boulder creates the foundation, which gives way to brick walls. The brick, hand cast in wood forms, is one of many handmade materials used on the home to connect the setting's raw beauty with human warmth and ingenuity. Completed in 2004, the home showcases the work of renowned craftsman from across the country and around the world in both the exterior and interior detailing. Art glass created by Santa Barbara artisan, Brian McNally, adorns the interior, while decorative glass, molded for iridescence, can be found on the home's exterior. The home also features the last major architectural use of Van Briggle tile, once widely used in mansions in Colorado Springs' Old North End. Albertini windows are featured throughout the home, the finest wood windows made in Europe. At the home's entrance, the visitor is greeted by a grand redwood timber Porte-cohere, designed to invite the mind into another world. Spanning a natural ravine, the house is seamlessly split into two areas, the private north wing and the social south wing. With its own entrance the north wing opens into the home's guest/business/library area. Here, the workspace is complemented by two bedrooms, a kitchenette, and two baths bathroom. Underneath the office/library, an apartment with full amenities is perfect for staff, guests or clientele, serving as link between this environment and the social area of the house is an exercise room and a sauna. The north wing of the home shines with marble underfoot and intricate ceiling finishes overhead. Mahogany is used extensively throughout with doors unique to each room and wrought bronze hardware. Quarter sawn white oak cut from the slopes of the Appalachian Mountains is used throughout the home and originates from the same mill that provided floors for the National Observatory in DC, the Vice-President's home. The floor is detailed and bordered with intricate, custom patterning, including herringbone in the bar and pool table area. For those who love to entertain, the bar, game room, projection television, wine cellar, and commercial pizza oven tucked in the kitchen boast plentiful opportunity to enjoy company. Stepping outside, several terraces made from natural Colorado stone, offer extensive views. A pathway leads up to an in-ground Jacuzzi, which looks back down on the house from above. Relax in front of the fire pit or set out on the trail that is at the back kitchen door and leads up into National forest. Bordered by more than 500 acres of trails and open space, the home is but an extension of its natural surroundings. Lost within the wonders of the spruce-laden residence, it's hard to conceive that the heart of Colorado Springs lies just five miles below. The Broadmoor Hotel is down the hill, with award winning restaurants, and with a membership world class golf course, spa, fitness center, off-site lodging, fishing camps and horse expeditions. The Broadmoor Resort Community has on-site security and a 24-hour manned gate. The Residence at Governors Point is expansive, yet intimately scaled. The home was awarded the 2005 AIA Design of the Year, which the judges praised as. capturing the spirit- embodying the myth-of Colorado. Indeed, the residence's warmth of textures and fine craft invite one into the long awaited dream of being at home in the woods.
