Live your Colorado story in this meticulously maintained private mountain retreat backing directly to Arapaho National Forest. Starlink high-speed internet, a garage wired for EV charging, fire-mitigation with a defensible space permit through 2027, and a durable Class 4 impact resistant roof installed in 2025 for added protection and potential insurance savings. Inside, the bright, south-facing great room fills with natural light and features warm wood floors, a carefully designed fireplace, and an open flow into the kitchen and dining area, perfect for everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen offers stylish leathered granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, stone flooring and an inviting bar. The serene primary bedroom captures some of the best views in the home, with forest and mountainside scenery right from bed and a spa-like soaking tub that looks out to the trees and night sky. Nearby bedrooms keep everyone close, while the lower level offers flexible space for a media room, gym, and office/studio space. The expansive Trex deck extends your living space outdoors almost year-round, with room for a fire pit, dining, and stargazing under incredibly clear, dark skies. The land is usable and versatile: flat backyard space ideal for a hot tub, play set, or yard games, plus additional flat pads off the driveway for RV parking or extra play space.  Located on a quiet, non-HOA cul-de-sac, this home sits just about ten minutes from both downtown Evergreen and Conifer Town Center for easy access to shopping, dining, Evergreen Lake, and local concerts. Step outside and explore miles of outdoor adventure, winding trails through aspen groves, dramatic granite outcroppings, a seasonal stream, and secret local paths leading toward Cub Creek and Maxwell Falls. In winter, ski, sled, and snowshoe right behind the house, then return to your own cozy sanctuary. Frequent visits from deer, elk, fox, birds, + other wildlife complete the picture of a true Colorado haven.
