Metro Denver Luxury Homes For Sale

Property Description

Some properties are rare. Others are unforgettable. This 84.84-acre wilderness retreat is both. Bordering the Indian Peaks Wilderness, this extraordinary property offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a private sanctuary in one of Colorado’s most protected & scenic landscapes. Whether you envision building a legacy mountain estate overlooking the meadow & surrounding peaks or embracing a simpler off-grid lifestyle, the possibilities are exceptional. Listing agent must accompany showings. Perched atop a rocky knoll overlooking a pristine alpine meadow, the existing cabin enjoys sweeping views of the Continental Divide, with Mount Audubon serving as the breathtaking centerpiece of the valley, alongside Sawtooth Mountain, Pawnee Peak, and numerous surrounding summits. Originally built in 1974 and extensively remodeled in 2021, the cabin features one bedroom, one bathroom, a kitchen with breakfast nook, a spacious living room with a wood-burning fireplace, & expansive windows framing the mountain landscape. Modern off-grid infrastructure includes a high-producing well, two-bedroom septic system, 3.15 kW solar array, 9.4 kWh lithium battery storage, generator backup capability, on-demand hot water, new windows, & new siding. More than 600 square feet of new decking, including a gathering area with built-in bench seating, provides the perfect setting to relax, entertain, and enjoy panoramic views. Bordering two National Forests and two Wilderness Areas, the property creates a continuous 400,000-acre backyard of protected mountains, forests, and alpine basins to explore and enjoy. A nearly 1,000-acre conservation easement preserves the surrounding basin, ensuring lasting privacy, protected views, and abundant wildlife. Moose, elk, deer, bear, & other native species are frequent visitors. Located along Colorado’s Peak to Peak Scenic Byway between Central City and Estes Park, this is a rare opportunity to own an irreplaceable piece of Colorado wilderness heritage.
