Marmol Radziner has designed this contemporary house nestled on a hillside to take advantage of the sprawling mountain views in Sun Valley, Idaho. The design of this state-of-the-art home was inspired by the rustic beauty of its surroundings, combining superb design with texture-rich interiors and regionally sourced materials to achieve an organic integration with the natural landscape.

The property is terraced on three levels, capturing unique views from all locations. Dramatic views, abundant natural light, and mountain breezes imbue the 8,700 square foot, seven-bedroom, six-and-a-half bathroom house with a sense of tranquility and a connection to the natural world.

What We Love: The decks, patios, and glass throughout this hillside contemporary home create a seamless indoor/outdoor environment and facilitate entertaining, be it an intimate gathering or a large affair. The house is a place of balanced energy softly nestled within an aspen grove on a gentle slope covered with grasses, sagebrush, and wildflowers; the views open dynamically to mountain horizons and ever-changing Idaho skies.

The main floor features a formal living room and dining room, with a common stone fireplace and glass walls that open to surrounding balconies facing Bald Mountain. The gourmet kitchen and great room provides a warm family environment, with fireplace, media and a glass enclosed dining area that spills onto a spacious terrace with spectacular views, stone spa, outdoor kitchen and lounge areas.

The four-suite guest wing extends beyond the great room. A large media/recreation room is located on the first level, which also boasts a bright indoor/outdoor exercise studio, a steam shower bath and a Zen courtyard that connects the spaces. This level includes a temperature controlled wine room, ski boot room, and a heated and finished garage.

The third floor master suite with stone fireplace, private deck, meditation room, dressing rooms, and marble steam master bath feels like a luxury spa. Sharing the master level are two large offices and a full bath. One is nestled in an aspen grove and the other captures a spectacular view of Baldy Mountain. Both offices feature private decks, and can be converted to bedrooms.

How were the builders able to skirt Ketchum’s strict ordinance that prohibits húillside development?

the easiest entry point for corruption in any municipal government is typically the building commission. building commissions often grant “favors” (called “variances”) to the well connected.

Sadly I don’t like the ceilings instead would have preferred high wood beam ceilings. Also river rock would have made the fire places warmer.

I disagree, there’s enough warmth and wood in every room, wooded ceilings would have drowned out the space.
