Wildlife moves through at dawn and again in the evening, and after a while you start timing your coffee around it.

That coffee happens on the rear deck, looking out over 2.45 acres of unobstructed views. Sunrises here are the kind people photograph. At night, the city lights spread out below - and you catch all of it from the decks, the kitchen, and the upper level. Below the deck sits a big gravel fire pit ringed with drought-tolerant landscaping, where evenings tend to run long. A flat, usable area sits ready if a shop is on your list.

The property is fully fire mitigated while staying forested and private, and every road leading up to it is paved. No dirt, no gravel.

Inside, three bedrooms and two updated baths spread across two well-planned levels. The main level holds the primary suite, a 3/4 bath with a large shower, and a kitchen built for someone who actually cooks - soapstone counters, a Wolf range and hood, Bosch appliances, and new windows that frame the view while you work. A propane fireplace anchors the living room, adding warmth without the upkeep of wood. Upstairs, two more bedrooms and another 3/4 bath sit off a great room built around a wood-burning fireplace, with deck access on both sides.

Downstairs is finished flex space - guest room, office, or gear room - plus the mechanical systems, including 300 gallons of water storage. The big-ticket items are handled: new Hardy plank siding, a 50-year storm guard roof, and a whole-home Generac propane generator.

Conifer and Aspen Park are ten minutes out for groceries, restaurants, medical, and the gym. Walmart, Target, and Costco in town run about twenty-five. Hiking, biking, fishing, camping, and skiing are all close and easy to get to. The school bus stops at the bottom of the driveway, so this road gets priority plowing.

It's quiet out here. Genuinely quiet. And close enough to town that you're not giving anything up to have it.
