Resort Living on the Prairie

Situated in the midst of an expansive prairie, the homeowners wanted to create a backyard oasis that offered some privacy from the rolling views. The feature-packed landscape has plenty of space for entertaining while still maintaining a sense of intimacy and coziness. The pool features a covered pavilion flanked by a water feature on one side and a waterslide on the other. The rectangular gunite pool has an automatic safety cover designed to withstand the weight of errant deer or other wildlife wandering through the property. Meanwhile, the pavilion features a full outdoor kitchen with bar seating. It includes gas heaters and a misting system mounted in the rafters so the homeowners can enjoy the space in a variety of weather conditions. A water feature is constructed on top of a bunker housing the mechanical room as well as a bathroom with shower. The bathroom is finished with stone wainscoting that echoes the mountains surrounding the prairie.
