Featured across Dwell, 5280, MSN, and other design platforms, this modern mountain retreat combines architectural intention, full energy independence, and dramatic alpine views — all within an hour of Denver.
Set in an aspen grove at 9,600 feet, the home offers true privacy with all the amenities of modern living. Floor-to-ceiling windows capture sweeping 14er panoramas, radiant heat and thoughtful finishes create a grounded, serene interior, and the elevation naturally lends itself to wellness, creativity, and high-performance pursuits. With dependable 50 Mbps internet, remote work and retreat living coexist effortlessly.
A 30-year solar and lithium battery system powers the property, supported by a propane generator for backup and optional grid connection nearby. The well water is exceptionally clean and treated with UV, heavy-metal, and reverse-osmosis filtration maintained by AquaServe. A radon mitigation system is already installed.
The home was designed with growth in mind — already framed for a future back porch or additional square footage — and gas lines at the front and back allow for an outdoor kitchen or pizza oven. A ½-acre fenced area is ideal for pets, and the detached shed provides generous storage for tools, outdoor gear, or motorcycle equipment.

Sellers are open to negotiating a furnished sale for an effortless move-in.
