Custom Scott Turnipseed Design in Eagle Ranch

Designed by architect Scott Turnipseed, this custom home offers a practical, modern take on Colorado living in Eagle Ranch—set on a quiet street on the valley floor with easy access around town. The exterior combines deep-toned siding with natural stone accents for a clean, low-profile look that fits the neighborhood. Inside, the layout is open without feeling oversized, and the home is filled with natural light from large windows placed to bring in sun throughout the day.

At the center of the home is a chef’s kitchen built for real cooking and real life. A white brick archway defines the space and frames a Wolf range and the waterfall-edge quartz counters give you continuous prep space that connects directly to the dining and living areas—easy for weeknights, holidays and everything in between. Finishes are consistent and thoughtful.

The main living area is open-concept with exposed timber beams and vaulted ceilings, which adds warmth without making the space feel heavy. It’s a comfortable room for day-to-day living—room for a full seating area, a large dining table and flexible furniture placement depending on how you use the home.

The primary suite is set apart in its own wing for privacy. The bedroom has vaulted ceilings and good natural light, and the bathroom is spa-style and functional—featuring a large soaking tub, rainfall shower and quality tilework. It’s the kind of setup that feels calm and easy at the end of the day, without trying too hard. Upstairs, the bedrooms are notably large, giving everyone enough space —ideal for families, frequent guests or anyone who wants rooms that don’t feel tight.

Above the garage, a fully independent lock-off apartment adds flexibility. It works well as a private guest suite, a space for extended family, or a separate living area that can support rental income depending on your goals. Because it’s independent, it gives occupants privacy while keeping the main house comfortable and uninterrupted. Outside, the covered patio and flat backyard are some of the home’s best features—usable space for summer dinners, games or gardening. The yard is designed to be enjoyed, not just maintained.

Eagle Ranch is a community built around access—access to trails, amenities and the daily rhythm of the valley. The golf course, pool and ice rink are close by, and there’s a strong network of biking and hiking options right from the neighborhood. Whether you’re fitting in a quick ride after work, walking the dog or heading out for a longer weekend hike, the trail access here makes it easy to stay active year-round.

New Town Eagle is only minutes away, with a growing mix of local restaurants, coffee spots and places to meet friends. When you want resort-town access, you have it—Beaver Creek is about 30 minutes away and Vail is under 40 minutes, making skiing, dining and summer events easy without living in the middle of the resort core. The Eagle County Airport adds another layer of convenience for travel, and the location works well whether you’re full-time, part-time or planning for a mix of personal use and hosting.

Overall a well-designed Eagle Ranch home with great light, large bedrooms, everyday functional spaces, a usable flat yard, and a flexible lock-off apartment—close to trails, community amenities, New Town Eagle, and Vail/Beaver Creek.
