Of the 14 homes developed, designed and constructed by Vitruvius Properties on Alps Hill, the 'May' at 1044 Alps Hill Rd. is special. The fluid, serpentine approach into the home site was cut to embrace, while not disturb, the golden moss rock outcroppings and families of aspen. The land opened a path and a custom home emerged to capture sublime views and solitude from the road. The current owners started with a vacant, gallery-like space, and then with exceptional taste and a keen sense of placement, created a masterpiece symbiotic to the home's intent. This home is better than new. The May has three bedrooms, 3.5 baths, a large flex space and bonus room/gym that can also be used for vehicle storage. Generous window openings incite a truly remarkable indoor/outdoor experience in this otherworldly environment. Wildlife is abundant and healthy, as is the crisp, pine-infused air. This home exists in the epicenter of the historic Colorado Gold Rush (mineral rights included). Robust development activity in Central City and Black Hawk, Idaho Springs and the soon coming Mighty Argo Cable Car destination are minutes away. Located halfway between Denver/DIA and Summit County, there is no need to elaborate on recreation. This home is equipped with state of the art grid independent technology, nothing of the sort assumed by the stereotypes of the past. That said, there does exist an opportunity to run power to the home. What buyer's requirements the home doesn't meet, arrangements can be made to make the home fulfill your vision. This is a special home and is a good fit for the select few. The listing agent/builder encourages a discovery conversation with buyers agents or non represented buyers to share the initial vision, the current opportunity, and to imagine a meaningful and contemplative lifestyle in the clouds.
