This spectacular mountain estate is one of the most unique and extraordinary properties in all of Evergreen. Because its 19 acres of healthy, pristine forest are surrounded on three sides by O’Fallon Mountain Park, you’ll feel like you’re living in a very remote mountain area, but you’re less than 10 minutes from Evergreen, less than 25 minutes from the shopping, dining and theaters at either Southwest Plaza or Denver West, and it's only a 35-minute drive to downtown Denver.
The centerpiece of the gated, private estate is a classic Alpine log home crafted of huge handhewn logs, which has been lovingly renovated with all the latest upgrades, and boasts an open floor plan with vaulted ceilings and skylights. You'll find quality craftsmanship and hardwood flooring throughout, and an updated gourmet kitchen with slab granite, stainless appliances and knotty alder cabinetry. The main floor master suite has a charming notched-log stairway up to a loft with enough room for a home office, or just a cozy sitting area to listen to the sounds of silence. You will find almost too many features to mention here - a large cedar storage closet; multi-level, maintenance-free Trex decking; a grass yard with automatic sprinkler system; handcrafted quartz rock fireplaces (woodburning); a sunroom/home office with wood stove adjacent to the great room; jetted tub; ceramic tile oversize shower with seat; heated 2-car oversize garage with workshop area; bonus room perfect for exercise equipment or as hobby room; and much more!
The forested property has room to roam and includes three cozy guest cabins just a short walk into the woods. All of the cabins are fully insulated, with both heat and electricity. For horse lovers, there is a 2-stall barn with two outdoor corrals.
You will marvel at the constant stream of wildlife visitors - wild turkeys, foxes, deer and elk in abundance right out the windows! A birdwatcher's paradise.
Take in a Rockies game, or a play at The Denver Center for the Performing Arts, and pause for the elk to meander out of your way as you drive through O'Fallon Park on your way home. Watch the deer grazing on the grass as you eat dinner on your deck on a beautiful summer evening. The only sound that might possibly wake you at night is a bull elk bugling during the late summer breeding season.
You might decide to wander up “Grandfather's Trail” on a sunny summer afternoon and listen to the warm breeze blowing through the trees. Or, in the spring, take a book and go sit in the aspen grove by your own private spring-fed stream (and it really is yours – water rights are included).
This is a property that needs to be experienced in person to fully realize the quiet serenity and beauty of the nature that surrounds you, a place where you will take a deep breath and totally relax. Some have called it "magical." You will find it to be your Colorado dream come true!
