8On the sun-drenched slopes of Ram’s Horn Mountain, Ascent rises like a glass-walled sculpture — a modern mountain masterpiece created through a rare collaboration between one of Colorado’s premier architects and the Chiappe family. This is not just a vacation home; it is a living work of art designed to bring you into harmony with the Rocky Mountains that surround it.
The Ascent Experience
Walls of glass lift your gaze to the horizon, where the Western Continental Divide cuts a bold line across the sky. From sunrise to twilight, the mountains themselves become part of the architecture — their shifting colors and shadows reflecting in steel, stone, and mahogany. Expansive decks and patios wrap around the home, extending your living space into the open air. Out here, you’ll trace the peaks, breathe in the alpine air, and feel as if you could step straight into the sky.Inside, the great room is a gallery of light and space. Soaring ceilings and sleek finishes frame a scene that is at once contemporary and deeply connected to the landscape. Gather by the gas fireplace, watch the flames dance across crushed glass, or curl into the sectional while the mountains perform their evening show beyond the windows.
A Kitchen with a View
Cooking becomes celebration in the chef’s kitchen, where concrete quartz and stainless steel shine against an endless backdrop of peaks. The breakfast bar and live-edge dining table both face the mountains, making every meal an occasion. Outside, a dining veranda with gas grill invites toasts to sunsets and long, laughter-filled dinners under Colorado skies.Spaces of Rest & Renewal
The home offers four bedrooms, each thoughtfully designed for rest and reflection:- Private Master Suite (Upper Level): A sanctuary worthy of a five-star retreat, with a California King bed facing the horizon, a spa-inspired bath with air massage tub, and a private cantilevered balcony where you can taste the wind, touch the sky, and linger in the company of eagles.
- Main-Level King Suite: Steps from the dining area, complete with ensuite bath, double vanity, and tiled shower.
- Two Lower-Level Bedrooms: One with a king bed, the other with twin beds, both with private vanities and a shared bath. Perfect for family or friends.
Wellness & Gathering
On the lower level, a private gym and wellness space awaits, stocked with free weights, cable machines, kettlebells, and more. Take your workout outside to the flagstone patio with pull-up bar — or skip straight to evening around the massive fire pit, where stories rise with the sparks and laughter carries across the mountain air. Indoors, a plush sectional and large HDTV make the perfect spot to wind down with a movie.The Ascent of a Lifetime
Though downtown Estes Park is just four minutes away, Ascent feels worlds apart — private, peaceful, and embraced by the 260-acre enclave of Windcliff Estates. Here, the forest and the peaks are your neighbors, and each day feels both grounding and elevating — an ascent of the spirit as much as the body.Amenities of the Ascent Vacation Home at Windcliff
