1044 Alps Hill Road, Central City, CO 80452

Featured across Dwell, 5280, MSN, and other design platforms, this modern mountain retreat combines architectural intention, full energy independence, and dramatic alpine views — all within an hour of Denver. Set in an aspen grove at 9,600 feet, the home offers true privacy with all the amenities of modern living. Floor-to-ceiling windows capture sweeping 14er panoramas, radiant heat and thoughtful finishes create a grounded, serene interior, and the elevation naturally lends itself to wellness, creativity, and high-performance pursuits. With dependable 50 Mbps internet, remote work and retreat living coexist effortlessly. A 30-year solar and lithium battery system powers the property, supported by a propane generator for backup and optional grid connection nearby. The well water is exceptionally clean and treated with UV, heavy-metal, and reverse-osmosis filtration maintained by AquaServe. A radon mitigation system is already installed. The home was designed with growth in mind — already framed for a future back porch or additional square footage — and gas lines at the front and back allow for an outdoor kitchen or pizza oven. A ½-acre fenced area is ideal for pets, and the detached shed provides generous storage for tools, outdoor gear, or motorcycle equipment.
