This beautifully maintained mountain home is light, bright, and truly stunning - offering the best of both worlds: sweeping views, privacy, and an authentic Colorado high country lifestyle, all just an hour from the city. The exceptionally well designed open floor plan features striking architectural angles that frame the dramatic vistas into Pike National Forest, along with the surrounding trees and incfredible rock outcroppings. Quality construction and custom design by Forrest Welsh are evident throughout, with plentiful, custom light wood accents, detailed trim, and a remote controlled gas fireplace wrapped in dramatic tile and woodwork. The large wrap around deck on the main level invites outdoor living, while the private deck off the upstairs primary suite creates a serene, treehouse like retreat. The spacious primary en suite offers a wall of windows to capture the views, vaulted ceilings, three generous closets, and a comfortable seating area. Laundry is conveniently located upstairs near the three large bedrooms. Four hot water heating zones provide efficiency and flexibility, and the lower level utility room offers abundant storage. The attached garage is heated, finished, and includes a service door. A rare find - the 18' x 36' heated workshop/studio sits just steps from the home and includes both an overhead door and a service door. Perfect for projects, hobbies, or additional storage. The workshop benches are included. The gently sloping 2.6 acre lot features rock outcroppings, an aspen grove, meadow, mature trees, and frequent wildlife visitors. All of this is located just over a mile from Hwy 285, offering easy access and close proximity to the highly rated Platte Canyon Ambulance & Fire Protection District Station. Shhh...Hill & Dale neighborhood is a little known, small, quiet, relatively private gem community in the Bailey area!
