Welcome to your private mountain sanctuary in Elk Valley Estates—a 1,125-acre gated nature conservancy with just 33 estate homes, protected by covenants and a Colorado Division of Wildlife easement. Set on 35 acres of pristine forest, this custom 3,800+ sq ft retreat offers unmatched serenity, seclusion, seasonal wildflowers, and a meandering stream. The main level opens with double glass doors into a soaring great room anchored by a stone fireplace. A wall of windows floods the space with light and frames serene mountain and forest views. The adjoining dining area walks out to an expansive deck—ideal for entertaining or quiet mornings. The gourmet kitchen features a gas cooktop, stone countertops, custom cabinetry, and upgraded stainless appliances. Upstairs, a sunlit loft with built-ins offers stunning views, while the private master suite includes a fully renovated five-piece bath with soaking tub, dual vanities, oversized shower, water closet, and walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath complete the main floor. Downstairs, the walk-out basement includes a family room and gaming area, a three-quarter bath, and access to a covered composite deck. The previously unfinished room has been transformed into a custom bunk retreat featuring built-in quadruple bunk beds, a queen sleeping area, private exterior access, and ample guest space. Radiant heat throughout uses ethylene glycol for freeze protection during outages. *See 3D Walk The home also features a four-car garage with RV bay, 220V power, and workshop space; a newer roof, windows, and doors; and seven acres of fire mitigation. Outdoor living spaces include three decks: 16x16 (covered), 16x16 (open), and 22x8. A circular gravel driveway provides easy access. Streams run through the property. Ponderosa Pine, Colorado Blue Spruce, Douglas Fir, and Aspen line the hillsides. Wildlife—including elk and deer—frequently pass through. This is more than a home—it’s a legacy mountain property.
