Crescendo is a high-tech and environmentally friendly Smart home that would make Microsoft and Greenpeace smile, says listing agent Christa Frosch of Sotheby’s International Realty Canada. “Computer-integrated lighting, audio/visual and climate controls are at your command via touch panels in each room, and geothermal energy heats every surface, including the garage.”

The house, embedded into the mountain’s granite base, is designed to be an extension of the mountain, she says. “The design follows the mountain’s contours throughout its split-level design.

Indeed, it's almost impossible to tell which is a deeper shade of blue -- the endless sky overhead or the glittering lakes below.

Add the heady buzz from sampling merlot or pinot gris -- and you might think, "Wouldn't it be great to own a vineyard, sometime?"
