Property Description
Tucked against Red Deer Mountain on a beautifully treed lot, this fully remodeled 4-bedroom, 5-bathroom retreat lives like a private lodge - with views that never quit. Wake up to the Collegiate Peaks out one window and Buffalo Peaks out another, then take your morning coffee to the expansive third-level deck, where alfresco dining comes with a front-row seat to Colorado's high country. Inside, two large moss rock, wood-burning fireplaces anchor two generous family rooms - plenty of space to gather, spread out, or do both at once. Every detail of the remodel was chosen with intention: travertine tile in all five baths, custom alder doors and trim, granite surfaces, and rock accent pillars that carry the mountain character from the outside in. With a bathroom for every bedroom (and then some), nobody waits their turn. The lower-level walkout patio opens to a backyard that borders a whispering aspen grove and seasonal creek. Beyond your property line, the neighborhood backs to national forest and Red Deer Mountain with direct trail access. The location puts all four seasons within reach. Winter means snowmobiling on Cottonwood Pass, soaking in nearby hot springs, and skiing or snowshoeing at Monarch and Copper. Summer brings hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, 4-wheeling, and world-class rafting on the Arkansas - all just minutes from your door. This isn't just a home. It's basecamp for the life you moved to the mountains for.
