Perched above Boulder at the end of a private dead-end drive, this extraordinary octagon-shaped residence rises through four levels on 10.25 forested acres. Minutes from downtown Boulder and completely removed from it. No neighbors. No noise. Just wind, birdsong, and a horizon that commands your full attention. Longs Peak & the Indian Peaks Wilderness stretching west, Boulder's city lights scattered far below to the east. Green Mountain Trail begins steps from the back door.This is a property for people who have earned their quiet. Who want to wake up in the trees, step outside into real wilderness, and still be able to reach a world-class restaurant, entertainment & shopping within minutes. It works equally well as a full-time sanctuary or an elevated second home.Inside, each level reveals a new perspective. The main level great room opens with soaring vaulted ceilings, exposed timber beams, and walls of glass that pull the ridge indoors. A sunken conversation and dining area anchors the heart of the space. The chef's kitchen is built for serious cooking, with a Viking range, Thermador refrigerator, slate tile backsplash, and custom cabinetry. The primary suite opens to a southwest-facing Juliette deck, perfect for morning coffee while taking in the views. At the crown of the home sits the Birdsnest office. Wraparound windows frame unobstructed snow-capped peaks in every direction. A wraparound deck off the main level extends the living space deep into the trees.Outside, a detached 1,500 sq ft geothermal greenhouse makes year-round food production possible. A fully owned solar array powers the entire property, true energy independence with zero compromise. A gas fire pit, horseshoe pit, and 2 fenced acres round out a property that lives as well outside as in. For the buyer who wants a home that feels like an escape every single day.
