Tranquil, space, extraordinary views & off-of-the-grid describe this 8.86-acre retreat set atop the world at 9,800 ft in elevation. Panoramic views across the Continental Divide with 8 different 14,000 ft Colorado Mountain peaks in your view from the 51' long south-facing deck are the ultimate surroundings, if nature is your calling. Indoor/outdoor living is made easy with almost 4,000 sq ft of indoor living space & over 1,300 sq ft of outdoor living space between the deck, outdoor kitchen, hot tub & fire /water feature areas. A full remodel of the home in 2013/2014 brought a new Master Suite addition, granite countertops throughout the kitchen & bathrooms, high-end appliances & Anderson windows. The residence, workshop & barn are completely powered by solar with 8600 watts from Photovoltec panels & a 3000 watt Proven wind turbine. The power is stored in the battery system that has two back-up generators. If there are more than 3 days of no sun, the generator will efficiently charge the battery system. There are 5 propane tanks with a total capacity of over 4,000 gallons for back-up generators, radiant flooring heat in the 3,000 sq ft workshop, radiant heating & on-demand tankless hot water. All systems may be monitored via smart phone/computer. The equestrian life revolves around the 4-horse stall barn including a tack room, storage area for 200 bales of hay, tempered glass & tie-up just outside the barn. The round pen for horse training has rubberized footing mixed with sand & the pasture is approx. 3 acres. This home is just an 11-min drive to all of the conveniences of Idaho Springs, a 55-min drive to Downtown Denver or Cherry Creek for access to urban life, less than an hour drive to Arapahoe Basin & Keystone Ski Resorts, 85 min to Vail & 75 min to Breckenridge. Plus, there are hundreds of miles of trails for horseback riding, ATVs & hiking right across the road from your backyard. The quintessential Colorado living experience is waiting for you.
