This is the best value in the mountains. An updated 3 bedroom mountain home PLUS 2400 SF BARN/WORKSHOP outbuilding sits on FIVE ACRES of beautiful and usable land for less than $1,000,000. The picturesque site is walkable & alive with seasonal wildflowers and glows with color in autumn as the aspens turn. There are no visible or audible neighbors here. Just quiet, wildlife, and land where you can garden, hike and watch the butterflies. Inside, vaulted ceilings and open design and large windows open to the surrounding trees and sky. An upstairs loft provides additional flex space. The main level primary bedroom supports single-level living and includes a five-piece bath with a steam shower. Two additional bedrooms are inviting and spacious. The interior has been updated over time, with newer flooring upstairs, updated bathrooms featuring quartz counters, and a modern steel stair railing. The kitchen is anchored by slate floors, granite counters, and light wood cabinetry and generous culinary space. A wood-burning stove brings warmth to the heart of the home. Twelve-inch-thick walls, radiant in-floor heat, and a geothermal cooling system help regulate comfort year-round. A south-facing sunkissed patio creates outdoor living space, staying warm through much of the year with an outdoor kitchen with a built-in gas grill and smoker. Four raised garden beds are already in place. A gazebo offers a shaded place to daydream. A chicken coop and woodshed sit nearby. Designed to function in all seasons, from bluebird days to snow days with solar system + generator. Walk to a private trail with long back range views or head downhill to riverside hiking. National Forest access, skiing, and renowned recreation are close by. Boulder is an easy, scenic drive to shopping and other everyday services. RMNP and Estes Park are close enough for lunch or an afternoon hike. If this looks great on your screen, I promise it will be even better in person.
