Skip the summer heat and step into a move in ready mountain retreat where life naturally shifts outdoors. Set on a wooded parcel with dramatic rock outcroppings, this property invites you to spend your days on the patio, exploring your own private trail system, or simply enjoying the quiet with a little wildlife watching thrown in for good measure. Centrally located between downtown Black Hawk and Nederland with easy highway access, you get the best of both worlds, peaceful surroundings without feeling too far off the map. The detached garage adds flexibility for vehicles, gear, or that growing collection of mountain toys. Recent updates make this an easy choice for a buyer looking for comfort and peace of mind, including newer roof insulation, a finished laundry room, and a new wood stove that adds both warmth and character. Additional improvements include a french drain, new well pump, updated skylight that brings in great natural light, and grading work to improve drainage and usability. Road improvements have also made year round access smoother. Inside, the layout is functional and inviting with a bonus loft and comfortable living spaces that flow right out to the expansive patio. Whether it is morning coffee in the sun or evenings under the stars, this home makes it easy to enjoy the Colorado lifestyle from day one.
