Positioned on a gently sloping and usable acre along a county maintained road, this long held mountain home offers a chance to step away from city life and create something truly your own in a setting that is getting harder to find. Owned by the same family for nearly 40 years, the property carries a sense of history with a solid foundation for its next chapter. With direct western exposure, the home takes full advantage of expansive views across the Continental Divide and toward the James Peak Wilderness. Evenings bring wide open skies and shifting light across the ridgeline, the kind of backdrop that reminds you why people trade the city for the mountains. The main level features an open kitchen and living area centered around a wood burning stove, creating a warm and functional space to gather after a day outside. A full bath includes a jetted tub, separate shower, and a dedicated vanity area that could serve as a dressing or prep space. A laundry and utility room completes the main floor. Upstairs, a loft accessed by a spiral staircase has been used for sleeping and storage. Skylights bring in natural light, and the unfinished character presents a clear opportunity to update and make it your own. Outside, the land opens up with ample parking and a well built stone fire pit area, perfect for evenings under the stars after long days exploring. The setting encourages an active lifestyle with nearby trails, public lands, and endless opportunities for hiking, biking, and backcountry adventures. With a durable metal roof and year round access, the property works well as a full time residence or a weekend escape from Denver. For those looking to invest in a scenic location with real potential, this is a chance to create a mountain retreat centered around views, privacy, and a lifestyle that prioritizes the outdoors.
