True mountain living with huge sweeping views of Coal Creek Canyon, sitting 25 minutes from Boulder and Golden.Thanks to owned solar panels, average utility bills run about $70/month. The hot water baseboard heating is solar powered with utility grid backup and the primary bathroom has radiant electric floor heating. That elevation isn't just for the views, at 8,400 feet no air conditioning is needed-open windows, feel the mountain breeze, and cool nights year-round. Wildlife, no light pollution-the night sky here is the real thing-the kind of star-blanketed dark you must drive hours from most cities to find. Add in the quiet... shhhh. Of course, the sunny southern orientation makes winter access easy.And then the house! For the benefit of the views, the living space is on the top floor, 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, an open living room awash in light, kitchen and dining areas are positioned to take full advantage of the views. The ground level houses the second living space: a recreation room, wet bar, bathroom, and a flex room.Meticulously maintained, the practical improvements that don't shout but quietly transform the experience of living, including extra insulation, new septic system in 2017, solar power installed in 2022.Enjoy the sunshine, fresh mountain air and a little piece of Colorado, elevated in every sense of the word. This home is ready for its next chapter.
