Escape to a private mountain retreat where adventure begins outside your back door. This beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 2-bath home backs directly to Pike National Forest, offering immediate access to miles of hiking, snowshoeing, and mountain biking trails. A private trail connects to Meridian Trail, providing access to Mount Rosedale, Blue Sky wilderness areas, and endless outdoor recreation. Explore for hours without getting in your car, with trails leading directly into National Forest. Wildlife lovers will feel right at home. Nestled between two seasonal stream beds, the property enjoys frequent visits from deer, moose, foxes, and birds of prey. Moose sightings are common, creating a true Colorado mountain-living experience. After a day outdoors, relax in the pristine 6-person hot tub or let your dogs enjoy the large dog run. Lovingly maintained and extensively improved, the home features a remodeled kitchen and primary bath, new floors, new windows and doors, updated mechanical systems, and thoughtful upgrades throughout. The open floor plan with bright kitchen features picture windows, mountain views, and a premium five-burner gas range. Stay comfortable year-round with a newer furnace, natural gas stove, wood-burning stove, and whole-house generator with hot tub backup. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the oversized 10×20 gear shed, two-car garage with overhead storage, and expansive upper deck surrounded by pines. High-speed internet makes remote work easy. A rare paved, level driveway provides easy year-round access and the perfect balance of seclusion and convenience. A voluntary Property Owners Association ($100/year) provides access to 20 acres of open space, a fishing and skating pond, clubhouse, and horse area. Hike directly into National Forest, watch moose and deer from your deck, and enjoy a meticulously maintained home with modern upgrades surrounded by nature. This is the mountain lifestyle you’ve been waiting for.
