Metro Denver Luxury Homes For Sale

Property Description

Quiet River Refuge Tucked along the banks of the Cuchara River and just a stone’s throw from the village, this 1.4 acre retreat offers a rare chance to own true Colorado riverfront — with the river flowing through the property and ownership on both sides. Towering trees, open grassy stretches, and the sound of moving water create a peaceful, park like setting that feels worlds away.The 3 bed, 3 bath home is designed for comfort and connection to the outdoors, featuring a spacious great room under a 12 foot cathedral ceiling, hardwood floors throughout, and in floor heat in all three tiled baths. Large windows frame the surrounding landscape, while a massive wrap around deck offers mountain views, wildlife watching, and a perfect place to unwind surrounded by nature, mountain views and the soothing sounds of the river. Downstairs, a generous family room adds space for guests or quiet evenings in, and both living areas are warmed by efficient wood burning stoves. The detached garage, currently used as a recreation and hangout space, expands the home’s versatility. With Cuchara Mountain Park & Recreation Area now operating year round, you’re minutes from hiking, skiing, festivals, and cool summer escapes. Riverfront properties with this level of privacy and beauty rarely come to market -your chance to capture your own stretch of Colorado on the Cuchara River. It is time to experience mountain living at its most peaceful. Offered at $895,000 – Call for your your personal tour!
