776 hilltop

Secluded, gorgeous property with stunning views, nestled in the foothills of Palmer Lake. Originally built in 1965 as a 1 story flat roof house, the previous architect-owner poured a new foundation, framed, and roofed the house in 2012. The current owners purchased it and completed the build in 2018 - 2019. The 20-foot-tall windows offer gorgeous views of Mount Herman and the house was built to be passive solar, which means the house is incredibly efficient to both heat and cool. The owner is a woodworker and his work is throughout the house; the cabinets were hand-made with alder wood, the bar tops, trim, and baseboards were all made from wood from the Black Forest fire, and he made numerous barn doors, shelves, barnwood counter tops, built ins, and more throughout. The fireplace is a wood insert Xtrordinair that can heat the entire house and pumps out up to 66,000 BTU's with a 12-hour burn time. The master bedroom has a 7' by 12' closet, and the bathroom has a double vanity with copper sinks, and a nicely finished shower. Outside is a private oasis, with new landscaping, lively scrub oaks, 3 patios, and a brick walkway. Check out the views from the crow's nest! The deck out front is ready and wired for a hot tub. The oversized garage/workshop, is heated and insulated, with cabinets and shelves built in. The south edge of the property also features a large, flat clearing that can handle all your toys. This is a one-of-a-kind home in which everything is only 6-7 years old, but also rustic and unique. It needs to be seen to be appreciated!
