Tucked into the trees just outside Blackhawk, this moss rock and wood chalet delivers the kind of mountain living that's hard to find and harder to leave. Far enough up in the hills that the world slows down. Close enough to drive down for dinner in town. A large covered front deck perches above the neighborhood lakes, stocked for fishing, grand and cozy all at once. The vaulted great room is the heart of this home. A wall of windows pulls the outside in, framing the surrounding pines and filling the space with light. Room for a generous seating area and a dining table without negotiating space. A wood-burning stove anchors it all. Practical on cold winter nights. Exactly right for the setting the rest of the time. The kitchen opens fully to this space, with an island, granite counters, and plenty of cabinet space. Built-ins throughout add the storage and organization that makes a mountain home actually livable. Two sizable bedrooms and a full bath sit on the main level, along with a dedicated laundry room. Upstairs, the lofted primary suite is its own retreat. Skylights bring light in from above and on a clear night, an invitation to admire the sky. Walk-in shower, double sinks, and a genuinely large walk-in closet. Real separation from the rest of the home. Outside, a new hot tub sits tucked into the trees on a lot over two acres. Mature trees and natural buffer create privacy that feels genuinely protected. Multiple decks connect inside to out throughout the home. Below the main level, this home packs a surprising and valuable punch. A professionally excavated walkout basement adds 1,500 square feet of unfinished space. Pre-plumbed for a bath, with a framed & drywalled studio room with its own exterior door and plans to finish it all. Apartment, Airbnb, or expand the existing space. A detached two-car garage rounds it out. Nederland, Golden, Boulder, Idaho Springs and more, all within easy reach. The trails start out your door
