Property Description
Welcome to 278 Overlook Dr, the mountain home you've been waiting for. An inspired blend of modern comforts and original charm, nestled on 2 beautiful, spacious, and usable acres. Thoughtful finishes and character in every room include original wood detailing, beautiful brick accents, and expansive picture windows framing sweeping mountain vistas + front-row sunset views over the Lost Creek Wilderness and Pike-San Isabel National Forest. Entertain effortlessly with the spacious kitchen featuring newer stainless appliances, gorgeously-kept real wood cabinetry, and a sink-side view to Staunton State Park. The adjoining dining and generously-sized main living areas flow into two oversized main floor bedrooms and 5 piece bath. The fully-finished, above-grade walkout offers two additional bedrooms, a home office, original gas stove, and a fully-functional wet bar with covered outdoor access to the expansive yard. Exceptional privacy and a true mountain escape are made possible by mature ponderosa pines, spruce and cedar trees, and a beautiful aspen grove. No homes are located behind so a serene backdrop as your own preserve is a daily luxury. Wildlife is your closest neighbor with frequent visits from deer, moose, birds, and horses. Easy year-round access just 0.3 miles from Highway 285 keeps you connected to grocery, schools, and amenities while remaining intentionally secluded. Practical peace of mind bonuses include: an oversized 3-car detached garage, 3 large outdoor sheds, newer windows, updated water systems (new filtration and softener; well head serviced; new sediment filter; and new reverse osmosis system), natural gas service (so no propane needed!), and thoughtful storage throughout. This is a truly rare mountain find with gently sloping, usable acreage framed by mature landscaping, bordering public land (so no future developments to obstruct views). This move-in-ready mountain gem is ready for its new owners. Schedule your showing today!
