A rare 160-acre mountain retreat high above the Estes Valley, with the Continental Divide on the horizon and Lake Estes in the valley below. You wind up through the trees and the house opens to walls of glass, where the mountains fill every window and the afternoon light pours across the whole valley before the sun drops behind the peaks.Designed and built by a local architect ahead of his time, the home is full of craftsmanship you cannot reproduce. Salvaged and reclaimed woodwork gives the great room its warmth: trusses built from a century-old railroad trestle, doors and trim milled from standing-dead hardwoods. A stone fireplace anchors the living room, the kitchen is built for someone who really cooks, and the primary suite sits high enough to feel like a treehouse.The lower level holds an indoor lap pool and gym with the mountains right outside the glass, plus flexible space that adapts to however you live. A private deck off the primary opens to a wood-fired hot tub under a sky full of stars. A detached carriage house adds a four-car garage, stable space, and finished quarters above.This is also a property built to stand on its own. It runs on owned solar with battery storage and propane backup, off the grid without giving up any comfort. The land is protected by a conservation easement, so the views stay exactly as you found them and nothing will be built around you. Set up for horses if you want them, with pasture and a barn ready to go. [The property also qualifies for the Colorado Parks andWildlife Landowner Preference Program, a meaningful draw for the sporting buyer.] Just minutes from town, a world away from everything else. Reach out for a private showing.
