Set amongst a peaceful mix of aspen, spruce, and pine, this private mountain retreat captures sweeping views of Buffalo Peaks, Antero Reservoir, Pikes Peak, and the vast South Park Valley. Situated on 3.5 fully fenced acres in the quiet community of Ranch of the Rockies, this thoughtfully crafted home offers a rare blend of privacy, comfort, craftsmanship, and year-round accessibility. Inside, warm mountain character is evident throughout, from the vaulted tongue-and-groove beetle-kill pine ceilings to the quality woodwork and solid pine doors that create an inviting, timeless feel. The sunny kitchen features knotty pine cabinetry, stainless steel GE appliances, a gas range, dishwasher, and a layout designed for everyday functionality. A spacious front deck provides an incredible vantage point to take in expansive mountain views and dramatic Colorado skies, while the covered grilling area with recessed lighting creates a comfortable outdoor gathering space with convenient access to the home. Designed for year-round comfort and efficiency, the home features radiant in-floor heat, passive solar design and thoughtful construction throughout. The attached heated approximately 1,000 sq. ft. garage offers ample room for vehicles, hobbies, storage, and workspace with built-in workbenches and additional utility space. Located just 4 minutes from the entrance of Ranch of the Rockies at Highway 24/285, on maintained roads with low HOA dues and year-round access, this property offers a peaceful mountain lifestyle without sacrificing convenience. Downtown Buena Vista is a short 20 minutes away. Whether hiking, skiing, climbing, biking, hunting, fishing, rafting the Arkansas River, or soaking in hot springs, this is the perfect home base.
