Perched above the breathtaking St. Mary’s Valley, The Valley Lookout lives up to its name with panoramic views framed by towering ponderosa pines and the surrounding Rocky Mountains. Nestled in the sought-after Forest Crowne community, this custom home strikes a bold yet natural presence—balancing contemporary mountain architecture with timeless materials and warm, grounding tones.
The exterior is defined by a striking contrast of deep charcoal siding and natural wood accents, designed to echo the texture and palette of the landscape. Timber details and large overhangs create both drama and shelter, welcoming you into a home where nature is always in view.
Inside, a thoughtful open-concept layout connects the kitchen, dining, and living areas, all oriented to capture the sweeping valley below. A mix of rich wood tones, creamy walls, and soft stone hues carry throughout the interior, creating a seamless, calming flow. Expansive windows and vaulted ceilings invite in natural light and mountain air, while select finishes—both modern and rustic—add texture and depth without distraction.
Whether soaking in the views from the covered deck or enjoying a quiet moment by the fireplace, The Valley Lookout is a home designed to slow you down and reconnect you with the landscape.

This spectacular Lookout Mtn. estate looks like it would fit equally well in the Cotswold region of England. We arrived at a landscape filled with mass plantings of generic shrubs, very few perennials, few blooming shrubs, and a lack of Winter interest. We completely reworked the gardens…Added many more Boxwoods, Azaleas, Laurels, Yews, Osmanthus, Magnolia to boost the structure needed and add year-round interest. Then we added loads of white blooming hydrangea, Nepeta, Veronica, Roses for long term color. Espaliered Fruit Trees, Topiary and Tree Formed Hydrangeas added the formality and interest needed to bring in needed “old world” charm. We added large boulders to an otherwise underwhelming Dry Creek Bed and added all Native Plants in that area including Clethera and Itea.
I envisioned a very formal parterre garden surrounding a fountain and added evergreen to soften the structure. Boxwood Topiary were placed in the center of each quadrant. I suggested formal planters with clipped evergreen boxwood to dress up the front of the large garage and the pool areas. Over- all this property exudes old world charm and elegance.

A magnificently placed home, The Lookout is configured to take advantage of panoramic views of the Elk Mountain Range and provide a pristine backdrop for the owner’s significant contemporary art collection. A strong central axis orients the flow of key interior spaces toward vistas and separates open public spaces from private living areas. A modern entry volume exposes the north side of the house to balance natural daylight for great art viewing. The cross axial relationship at the front door is perfectly aligned with a 10′-0″ wide glass pocket door that showcases the custom copper pool and mountain peaks beyond.
