    What's special

    Three impressive fireplacesSoaring vaulted ceilingsExpansive wraparound decksRich wood finishesTowering log beams
    Luxury Without Limits. Independence Without Compromise. Perched above the crystal-clear waters of Gold Lake, this extraordinary 41-ACRE mountain estate offers one of the most spectacular settings in all of Colorado. Wake to the first light over the Front Range, watch alpenglow settle across the peaks of Rocky Mountain National Park, and end each evening beneath a sky filled with stars. Every view is unforgettable. Just 40 minutes from Boulder, Estes Park, Nederland, and Eldora Mountain Resort, this secluded sanctuary offers an exceptional balance of privacy and accessibility. The 4,188-square-foot residence was handcrafted by the renowned M&H Log Homes of Alberta, Canada, and thoughtfully positioned to capture breathtaking 360-degree mountain views. Towering log beams, soaring vaulted ceilings, rich wood finishes, and three impressive fireplaces create a home that is both timeless and welcoming.Expansive wraparound decks provide front-row seats to Colorado's ever-changing landscape, seamlessly blending indoor comfort with the beauty of the outdoors.A detached 720-square-foot garage includes a private guest apartment with its own fireplace, ideal for hosting family and friends, extended stays, or a peaceful retreat. Designed for true independence, the estate is fully off-grid with a solar power system, backup generator, private well, and septic-offering modern luxury without reliance on public utilities. Below the home, a tranquil meadow provides space for recreation, wildlife viewing, or simply enjoying the serenity of your own alpine sanctuary. Properties of this caliber are exceptionally rare. Combining unmatched privacy, handcrafted craftsmanship, complete self-sufficiency, and 41 pristine acres overlooking Gold Lake, this is more than a home-it's a legacy estate built for generations.
