Foothills living at it's finest. This open plan mountain contemporary offers a rare combination of seclusion, immersion in nature, and modern living all with easy access to Golden, Boulder, & Denver. Anchored by the double-sided river rock wood-burning fireplace, the living, kitchen, and dining areas live large but feel warm centered between wood floors and vaulted TNG ceilings. The adjacent master suite hosts a walk-in closet and a bonus sitting area as well as an ensuite bath with dual sinks and an oversized shower. The opposite wing is home to 2 additional beds plus an office with custom built-in shelving and workspace as well as a full bath. The nearly 3-acre lot is ideally situated between Golden Gate State Park with direct access to trails across the street and your private stocked lake perfect for summertime fishing and non-motorized boating. The oversized garage is heated, insulated, and perfect for a workshop or man cave. A bonus cabin was built by hand by the Seller with logs milled from trees on the lot. Newly installed fiber internet access provides a truly perfect setting with the connectivity you need to work remotely or just stay connected to the outside world when necessary.
