Property Description
Recently featured by Dwell, 5280, and MSN, this 3-bed, 4-bath modern retreat offers energy independence, high-elevation living, and uninterrupted mountain views - all less than an hour from Denver.
Set among aspens at 9,600 feet, the home delivers seclusion without compromise. Floor-to-ceiling windows pull in 14er vistas, radiant heat and premium finishes ground the space in comfort, and the altitude appeals to those drawn to wellness, creative clarity, or high-performance conditioning. And with reliable 50 Mbps internet, you can work remotely just as easily as you can recharge or train.
Powered by a 30-year solar and lithium battery system with propane backup, the home is fully off-grid capable, with grid access available nearby. Pure well water is treated through UV, heavy-metal, and reverse-osmosis filtration (maintained by AquaServe), and a radon mitigation system is already in place.
Designed with future expansion in mind, the home is framed for a covered porch or addition and includes gas lines at the front and back for an outdoor kitchen. A 1/2-acre fenced area provides room for pets.
Outdoor + Lifestyle Highlights
* Hundreds of miles of off-road and ATV trails accessible from your doorstep
* Access to National Forest lands
* Explore routes toward St. Mary's Glacier, Winter Park, and beyond
* Ideal for hiking, mountain biking, backcountry fitness, and intentional solitude
With demand growing for design-forward mountain properties that prioritize wellness, sustainability, and escape, this home offers versatility - whether as a primary residence, performance retreat, or income-producing short-term rental. Sellers are open to negotiating a furnished sale for a seamless transition.
Luxury, sustainability, and high-altitude freedom converge here - a rare modern retreat on historic Colorado ground.
