Endless opportunity meets elevated mountain living at 31551 Black Widow Dr, a rare Shadow Mountain retreat set on 2.8 flat, usable acres backing directly to thousands of acres of National Forest with access to the Maxwell Falls trailhead right from your backyard. This is the Colorado lifestyle buyers dream about—privacy, adventure, and exceptional flexibility—all just 10 minutes from 285.

The main residence offers 2,214 square feet with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, blending mountain character with thoughtful updates throughout. The refreshed kitchen is the heart of the home, featuring painted cabinetry, a new backsplash, upgraded stove, and an inviting eat-in area. Just off the kitchen, a cozy sitting room creates an open-concept feel for everyday living and entertaining. Since 2023, the current owner has completed extensive improvements including upgraded electrical, interior paint and carpet, a new well pump, and new roofs and gutters on all structures.

A standout feature is the 1,296 square foot, 2 bed, 1 bath carriage house (ADU)—ideal for multigenerational living, guest accommodations, a private office, or income potential. Historically rented for $2,100 per month, it now includes its own fenced yard and hot tub, making it an exceptional opportunity for long-term rental or a highly desirable airbnb.

The land is equally compelling. Zoned for horses, chickens, and small livestock, the property includes a barn and loft, loafing shed, paddocks, and a detached garage with a large workshop above. Expansive decks, breathtaking mountain views, and multiple outdoor living spaces invite you to fully embrace the peaceful surroundings.

Whether you are looking to house hack, create a multigenerational compound, or establish your own private mountain basecamp with direct trail access, this extraordinary property offers unmatched versatility and lifestyle appeal.

Total square footage includes the main house (2,214 SF) and carriage house (1,296 SF).
