One-of-a-kind near net-zero waterfront estate! Step outside your newly constructed custom home and cast a line into the Little Thompson River. This stunning residence in Pinewood Springs is a rare sanctuary that blends sustainable living, sophisticated design, and extraordinary privacy. Set on 1.5 acres with direct access to Roosevelt National Forest, the property also features meandering park-like trails for peaceful walks and wildlife encounters, all framed by sweeping mountain views from every window. Inside, hickory floors flow throughout the home, leading to a gourmet kitchen outfitted with alder cabinetry, dual ovens, a copper sink and hood, and abundant storage. The open-concept design connects seamlessly to the great room, where electronic blinds provide comfort and climate control, and a floor-to-ceiling moss rock fireplace creates a warm focal point. Designed as a near net-zero, fossil-fuel-free retreat, this home features a 24-panel PV solar system, passive solar orientation, a hydronic radiant heat system, and fire-resistant exterior contributing to energy efficiency, comfort, and long-term peace of mind. Indoor-outdoor living shines on the expansive, no-maintenance covered deck, ideal for al fresco dining and relaxation with the soothing soundtrack of the river. The upper-level primary suite offers breathtaking views, a private patio with a hot tub, and a spa-worthy bath with copper sinks, a large shower, and a generous walk-in closet. A secondary main-level bedroom features deck access and an ensuite bath, while the lower-level bedroom enjoys walk-out access to the river. Additional features include an oversized garage, a south-facing driveway, and a 120 sq ft greenhouse perfect for year-round gardening. Ideally located between Estes Park and Lyons-just 35 minutes to Boulder or Longmont-this eco-conscious luxury home offers unparalleled serenity, craftsmanship, and sustainability for the discerning buyer.
