The year is 2025 and with that brings some very unique designs when it comes to Luxury Homes, especially in the resort area of Garden Valley. We are going to do our best in ranking the top features every luxury home needs in 2025. At Silverado Pines, we don’t just build luxury homes, we have the opportunity to build luxury homes in some of the most breathtaking landscapes Idaho has to offer. Here are the top features we believe every luxury mountain home needs in 2025.
Floor-to-Ceiling Windows with Panoramic Views
When you build a custom luxury mountain home, you want to take full advantage of the scenery, the fresh air, and even the nearby wildlife. Our Silverado Pines community is nestled in Garden Valley, ID in the middle of the Boise National Forest. With floor-to-ceiling windows, you have the opportunity to flood your home with natural light while enjoying a beautiful backdrop of some incredible mountain views and local wildlife. Picture yourself sitting down, looking out your floor-to-ceiling window, watching the sun rise and shine through the trees in your beautiful brand new luxury mountain home.
If you want to take your floor-to-ceiling window space to the next level, we recommend a set of tall panoramic accordion sliding glass doors, as shown above. This brings you the same luxury as a large window, but with the option to open the sliding glass door and enjoy the beautiful smell of pine in the air. Picture yourself waking up and listening to the birds chirp and the elk bugle.
Grand Fireplace & Cozy Gathering Spaces
Any luxury mountain home isn’t complete without a grand fireplace. A grand fireplace isn’t a short luxury trend or fad, it is something that will make a statement in your home, no matter what decade you are living in. One trend we are seeing many of our customers request in 2025 is a real, wood burning fireplace instead of gas. This is sure to set a warm, inviting atmosphere to anyone in your home. Perfect for cozying up on a chilly mountain night, while listening to the crackling of a real wood fire.
Every grand fireplace should be paired with a spacious and inviting gathering area, perfect for hosting family and friends. Some popular features include large vaulted ceilings or a large conversion pit in the center of the room. These encourage relaxation and connection, and are sure to be a main staple for your luxury mountain home for years to come.
Expansive Outdoor Living Areas
Building any luxury home in 2025 is all about embracing the nature you are surrounded by. It is especially important when you are surrounded by some of the best mountains Idaho has to offer. You should want your outdoor space to be just as inviting and luxurious as the inside. Because of this, we encourage you to consider incorporating the following in your outdoor living areas:
Large Decks & Patios – Perfect for morning coffee, watching the sun rise/set, & taking in the ambiance of nature.
Fire Pit & Outdoor Fireplace – Give yourself an outdoor spot to enjoy with friends and family. Nothing beats the memories shared over a fire.
Hot Tub with a View – This is a must have for any adventurer looking to build their luxury mountain home. After a long day on the ski hill nothing beats warming up in your hot tub.
Outdoor Kitchen & Dining Area – Create a space that accommodates all your outdoor cooking gear while providing a comfortable spot to enjoy your meals.
Well designed outdoor spaces have the ability to allow homeowners and their guests to fully immerse themselves in the natural beauty of their surroundings. We might be biased, but we believe that Silverado Pines in Garden Valley, ID is one of the best places to take your outdoor living area to the next level.
Unique to this home is a skywalk. This is a great addition to the house. It creates a space that puts you out there in the middle of it all.
Spa-Like Primary Suite & Bathrooms
According to the Oxford Language Dictionary, luxury means “the state of great comfort and extravagant living.” We believe that no luxury mountain home is complete without exactly that. The best way to boost your luxury home in the most extravagant way possible, is by doing it through a spa-like primary suite. Features to consider include:
A Private Balcony – A private balcony off the master suite is a great way to enjoy the luxury of mountain living.
A Fireplace in the Bedroom – Add warmth and ambiance into your home with a fireplace in the master suite.
A Spa-Style Bathroom – A deep soaking tub, steam shower, heated floors, and even a natural stone finish creates an extravagant and luxurious touch to any bathroom.
A well-designed primary suite transforms a mountain retreat into a personal sanctuary. Any homeowner building a luxury home in 2025 deserves their very own personal sanctuary. A place to either unwind or start their day—a place to relax, recharge, and soak in the moments that matter.
High-End Materials & Smart Home Technology
Luxury is in the details. With any luxury mountain home, we believe that premium materials help set the tone of the home as a whole. Here are some of the high end materials we recommend every luxury home needs in 2025.
Reclaimed Wood & Natural Stone – To create a rustic yet refined aesthetic.
Custom Metalwork & Glass – For a modern touch.
Heated Flooring & Driveways – Essential for winter comfort and convenience.
With any luxury home in 2025, smart home technology is a must have. These features enhance convenience and security, to make owning and securing your home a breeze. Some of the top smart home technologies of 2025 include smart thermostats, remote-controlled lighting, and automated window treatments. These improvements make managing the home effortless, whether you’re on-site or away.
