An architecturally striking mountain home on Alps Hill, this fully fenced, horse-friendly retreat pairs an unforgettable aspen-lined approach with the modern infrastructure today’s mountain buyers are looking for.

Includes underground power, a dedicated backup generator connection with emergency subpanel, commercial-grade whole-house reverse osmosis water filtration with remineralization, reliable line-of-sight internet, and Starlink availability. The southwest-facing shed roof fills the home with natural light while capturing spectacular Colorado sunsets.

The professionally landscaped grounds feature moss rock, peaceful sitting areas, an automated entry gate, dedicated dog run with dog door, and custom residential-style storage structures. The final photo showcases the portion of the property across the road, where the sellers once hosted a private outdoor wedding with breathtaking mountain views!

Inside, the upper level offers three bedrooms and two bathrooms, while the lower level provides flexible space for a gym, workshop, office, den, or vehicle storage.

Warm tongue-and-groove cedar accents and standing-seam metal siding create a striking exterior with exceptional durability and low-maintenance ownership.

Wildlife is abundant on Alps Hill, yet you’re only 45 minutes from Denver and minutes from Idaho Springs, historic Black Hawk and Central City, the Mighty Argo Cable Car, world-class skiing, and the ongoing Floyd Hill improvements that will further enhance mountain access.

Adding to its unique history, the property conveys patented mineral rights associated with the historic 1901 Monte Cristo Lode #15019.

Whether you’re searching for a full-time residence, a weekend escape, or a property with potential income opportunities (buyer to verify short-term rental regulations), this home offers a rare blend of modern design, mountain infrastructure, and year-round access to Colorado’s premier outdoor recreation.
