This custom-built home is one of the most desirable homes in Estes Park. Sitting up on the mountain overlooking the lush Estes Valley to the Continental Divide beyond, this home is set in a most exquisite setting. The 5161 square-foot home is nestled into 10 acres of pristine mountain property.

The custom details of this home are just as ideal. Featuring a stone base and pillars, timbers, and generous covered decks on the exterior. The entire home is directed toward the breath-taking views of the Continental Divide and pastoral valley below.
views from the living room
The interior features a granite counter top in the gourmet kitchen, a large pantry, laundry and breakfast nook. A moss-rock fireplace is central in the great room but cannot compete with the wall of windows which look out to the expansive views.

The master suite is located on the main level boasting a 5-piece bathroom with all the luxuries. The upper floor includes a family-size bath, two bedrooms and a studio, as well as a reading area with breath-taking views.

The home has radiant in-floor heat, as well as an impressive wood-burning boiler which is capable of heating the radiant in-floor heating system. The entire home was built with a conscious effort toward green-building, efficiency, and high quality.

Secluded and private, yet only 7 minutes to downtown Estes Park, this home is situated in the perfect location. Moss bedrock and fire-mitigated forest surround the home. There is an abundance of wildlife. Wildlife seen in the area or on the property include: mountain lion, black bear, bobcat, red fox, badger, elk, mule deer, coyote, red-tail hawk, rabbit, chipmunk, and several varieties of birds. This acreage is next door to the MacGregor Ranch property, where they graze their cattle several months out of the year, and it's also neighboring the original homestead of Shep Husted, a famous mountain guide in the later part of the 19th century.

This property is almost too wonderful to believe, so you'll just have to come see it for yourself!
