Wide-open private views of mountains and valleys make this stunning home a resort-like entertainer's paradise. Hike trails that begin in your own backyard, the Bergen Peak Wildlife Area. A beautiful 3.5 mile round trip up the mountain takes you through cliff areas, forest, and meadows. Pack a lunch and eat on a sunny boulder. You'll own 2 acres and back up to hundreds more. Living next to Mt. Evans Elk Preserve is like having your own private retreat without the hassle of maintaining it. Each season has its own special activity at this home. In summer, coffee and breakfast on the east deck is like being in the Alps, with warm sun on your face and peaceful silence. At night, switch to the west deck and grill dinner with wine. Invite guests for drinks and conversation, gazing at the valley views below. In winter, watch the animals that travel by from the safety of the elevated decks. You won't believe the varied sizes of footprints in the snow after a new snowfall. You think: how did I miss all this activity? Inside, luxury wood and stone finishes are everywhere. An open floor plan allows options for entertaining, on the decks or in the spacious, warm family room lined with bookcases and built-ins. Newly refinished real oak hardwood floors and 20-foot great-room ceilings are special details that give warmth and space. Sunset gives an earthy, dramatic rich texture to the floor-to-ceiling stack stone wall; adjustable light from the included elk antler ceiling lamp combines delightfully with the pellet stove to illuminate the room in winter. Upstairs, skylights flood the house with natural light, and every room has magnificent sunny views of the mountains. The finished walkout lower level has a covered deck and spectacular views to the south and west. Guest parking is hassle-free, with 3 parking pull-offs along the driveway, which allows for storing trailers or campers. Easy ride from the Parkway and only 10min to the grocery store. Clear Creek taxes are cheaper!
