Property Description

Featured across Dwell, 5280, MSN, and other design platforms, this modern mountain retreat combines architectural intention, full energy independence, and dramatic alpine views — all within an hour of Denver. Set in an aspen grove at 9,600 feet, the home offers true privacy with all the amenities of modern living. Floor-to-ceiling windows capture sweeping 14er panoramas, radiant heat and thoughtful finishes create a grounded, serene interior, and the elevation naturally lends itself to wellness, creativity, and high-performance pursuits. With dependable 50 Mbps internet, remote work and retreat living coexist effortlessly. A 30-year solar and lithium battery system powers the property, supported by a propane generator for backup and optional grid connection nearby. The well water is exceptionally clean and treated with UV, heavy-metal, and reverse-osmosis filtration maintained by AquaServe. A radon mitigation system is already installed. The home was designed with growth in mind — already framed for a future back porch or additional square footage — and gas lines at the front and back allow for an outdoor kitchen or pizza oven. A ½-acre fenced area is ideal for pets, and the detached shed provides generous storage for tools, outdoor gear, or motorcycle equipment. Outdoor + Lifestyle Highlights • Hundreds of miles of ATV and off-road trails right from the property • Direct access to National Forest lands • Explore peaceful routes toward St. Mary’s Glacier, Winter Park, and beyond • Perfect terrain for hiking, biking, backcountry training, and restorative solitude With strong demand for high-design mountain homes that emphasize sustainability, privacy, and intentional living, this property offers exceptional versatility — a luxury primary residence, second-home retreat, or short-term rental opportunity. Sellers are open to negotiating a furnished sale for an effortless move-in.
