Tucked away at the end of a private road and backing to over 1,700 acres of Arapaho National Forest, this stunning home offers the peace, beauty and adventure of Colorado. From the moment you arrive, it feels like checking into a charming mountain bed & breakfast-complete with incredible curb appeal, serene privacy, and the kind of setting that makes you exhale and smile. A gated community entrance adds peace of mind and exclusivity, so private showing appointments are required. Step inside the soaring great room where vaulted ceilings, a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, and a wall of windows frame the forest beyond. It's the perfect place to cozy up on snowy evenings or watch elk, moose, foxes, and hummingbirds wander by in warmer months. The kitchen is well-equipped for both daily living and entertaining, featuring a dual fuel oven-combining the precision of gas with the consistency of electric baking. The main floor primary suite opens directly onto the wraparound deck, making it easy to soak in the fresh mountain air. Inside, you'll find dual walk-in closets and a remodeled bath with a spa-like soaking tub. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and a loft overlooking the great room offer space for guests or family. The lower-level den is designed for fun, with a cozy fireplace, built-in bar, and room to entertain. The pool table and dart board are included, so it's ready for your next game night. A two-car attached garage is complemented by a new detached barn with space for two more vehicles and a bright, heated 20' x 24' upper-level room-perfect for a studio, office, or gym. Though you'll feel a world away, the home is equidistant to both Evergreen and Conifer, with quick access with a short 20 min drive to shopping, dining, and local amenities. Near the Upper Maxwell Falls trailhead, this is more than a home-it's a launch point for adventure, a peaceful escape, and where the mountain lifestyle becomes everyday life.
