Featured in Dwell Magazine for its innovative design and sustainability, this 3-bed, 4-bath mountain retreat blends modern architecture, energy independence, and panoramic views — all within an hour of Denver. Tucked among aspens at 9,600 feet, the home offers rare seclusion without isolation. Expansive windows frame sweeping views of Colorado’s 14ers, while radiant heat and high-end finishes create a calm, intentional living experience. A state-of-the-art solar array and lithium battery system (30-year lifespan) power the home efficiently, supported by a propane backup generator for seamless off-grid living. Grid power is also available at the end of the driveway for connection flexibility. Pure well water is treated with UV, heavy-metal, and reverse-osmosis filtration, serviced by AquaServe. A radon mitigation system adds peace of mind. Outside, enjoy a ½-acre fenced area for pets and reliable 50 Mbps internet — perfect for remote work or streaming. The home is framed for a future addition or covered porch, with gas lines plumbed front and back for an outdoor kitchen. Step directly into thousands of acres of National Forest, with trails leading toward St. Mary’s Glacier, Winter Park, and beyond. With year-round recreation and strong demand for design-forward mountain homes, this property appeals to buyers seeking a versatile retreat — full-time sanctuary, weekend escape, or short-term rental investment. Sellers are open to negotiating a furnished sale, making it easy to step right into your modern mountain lifestyle.
