Custom homes built for mountain views, ski season, and real life.
Craigleith is known for its ski culture, stunning escarpment views, and a growing community of homeowners building modern chalets and four-season homes. Whether it’s a new build or a major renovation, design here needs to balance function, warmth, and a sense of laid-back sophistication.
At Aspen & Ivy, we work closely with clients to create interiors that feel relaxed but elevated, built around how the home will be lived in. From smart layouts for hosting après-ski gatherings to finishes that work for both summer and winter living, we help homeowners make the most of Craigleith life.
We’re currently finishing a new project in Craigleith — Mountainview Retreat — a custom home designed for year-round use, with a strong connection to the outdoors and a clean, modern aesthetic.
While full details are coming soon, this home is a great reflection of how we approach design in the Blue Mountains: natural materials, smart planning, and a timeless feel that fits both the landscape and the lifestyle.
We’ll share more soon — but if you’re working on your own project in the area, this is a great time to connect.
Working Across the Blue Mountains
We’ve helped clients bring their vision to life in:
Craigleith, Georgian Peaks, Camperdown, Thornbury, Clarksburg, and Ravenna
Whether it’s a ski-side retreat or a forever home, we design interiors that are rooted in lifestyle, built to last, and tailored to each family’s needs.
