Description

Perched high above the front range on 39 private acres, this fully furnished custom mountain retreat captures breathtaking, unobstructed views stretching all the way to the Denver skyline. Layered mountain vistas, with seasonal aspen color across the valley, create a dynamic landscape that changes beautifully throughout the year. This home has a thoughtfully designed layout with one conforming bedroom, 1 and ½ baths and an expansive loft space currently used as additional sleeping quarters or office space. The Great Room is drenched in natural sunlight and features a vaulted ceiling, Hearthstone Soapstone wood burning stove and a rustic brick accent wall. The fully equipped kitchen offers hickory cabinets with under cabinet lighting, slab granite counters, a hammered copper farmhouse sink, kitchen island with storage and a stunning custom-made antler light fixture perched above the eat-in dining area. The stylish primary bedroom has authentic barnwood closet doors and accent wall and opens to a 8x32’ private porch. On the upper loft style level you’ll find a rustic cable railing overlooking the Great Room, 2 non-conforming sleeping areas, a full bath and mechanical/storage room with W/D hookups. Enjoy handsome distressed wood LVP flooring with radiant heat throughout and views from every room. The 14 KW Kohler Whole House backup Generator adds extra comfort and security. Outside you’ll find an 8x36’ south facing covered deck, as well as an east facing 2nd 12x32 deck. There’s also a Shipping Container, a Tuffshed and 5’ tall, 24x36’ crawl space for extra storage for all your recreational toys! This above the clouds, off-grid luxury retreat is one of a kind and designed to provide privacy and impeccable views. Escape the city chaos and enjoy your private retreat bordering 351 acres of State Land Board property. Build your own private compound! This is a one-of-a-kind opportunity you don’t want to miss! Only 45 minutes to Denver, your outdoor escape awaits you!
