Welcome to your own Colorado mountain retreat! Nestled on 1.43 private acres, this raised ranch offers the perfect blend of peaceful mountain living, modern conveniences, and year-round accessibility. Soaring vaulted ceilings, abundant natural light, and a cozy wood-burning stove create a warm, inviting living room. French doors from the dining area open to an expansive wraparound deck overlooking towering pines, aspens, dramatic rock outcroppings, and abundant wildlife. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances and new carpet throughout the main level provides a fresh, move-in-ready feel. The updated primary suite includes a private four-piece bath, two closets including a walk-in, while two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and main-level laundry complete the upper level. The finished lower level offers a spacious rec room, three-quarter bath, and flexible space for a home office, gym, media room, or guest retreat. An oversized two-car garage provides exceptional storage for vehicles and outdoor gear. Buy with confidence knowing the home's biggest investments have already been completed, including durable, fire-resistant James Hardie® siding, hail-resistant roof (2022), furnace (2022), water softener (2022), water heater (2025), and a new 1,500-gallon septic system with oversized leach field. These significant upgrades allow the next owner to personalize the home instead of tackling costly infrastructure. Outside, enjoy flat, usable acreage, exceptional privacy, high-speed internet for remote work, and dependable year-round access on county-maintained roads. Ideally located just minutes from Golden Gate Canyon State Park and the historic town of Black Hawk, with easy access to hiking, fishing, camping, casinos, dining, and an easy commute to Golden, Boulder, and the Denver metro area. Mountain homes offering this combination of privacy, usable land, major system updates, and convenience rarely become available.
