Located in the heart of the Eldora Valley, mere steps from the Indian Peaks Wilderness Area, this mountain cabin has been lovingly maintained & thoughtfully expanded over time, creating the ideal getaway cabin or comfortable year-round residence. Drive just 3 scenic, paved miles from the charming town of Nederland into this historic mining community, where natural beauty surrounds you in a glacial valley alive with summer wildflowers & the soothing sounds of Middle Boulder Creek. Remodeled & expanded in 2003, this rare gem gained over 1,100 SF of additional living space along with a spacious 530 SF 2-car attached garage - an evolution made even more special given today's building regulations, which no longer allow such extensive updates in the area. Tucked behind towering spruce & aspens, a private & sunny deck welcomes you into a sealed foyer that opens into a warm, open-concept design. Vaulted ceilings & wood accents elevate the spacious living area, anchored by a beautiful stone fireplace that adds both warmth & ambiance. Custom carpentry & built-ins add storage & character to the cozy cabin atmosphere. A generous dining area & adjoining sunroom provide ample space for entertaining or relaxing, while a 3/4 guest bath & large office/laundry room round out the main level. Upstairs, the 500 SF primary suite is a private retreat with vaulted & beamed ceilings, luxury bath, walk-in closet & incredible views. The flat, usable lot features stone pathways, natural boulders, a large storage shed & space for pets to roam. Whether you're exploring the nearby Hessie & 4th of July Trailheads, skiing at Eldora Mountain Resort or simply enjoying the peaceful mountain setting, this property offers a unique blend of seclusion, accessibility & adventure. Boulder is just 19 miles away & DIA only 1.2 hours-no need to travel the I-70 corridor to escape to this special mountain community that is a haven for nature lovers & recreational enthusiasts.
