Be one of the fortunate few to own a piece of Deer Creek Valley with this 27-acre mountain retreat, destined to become the legacy property you've always imagined. A private, gated entrance off Deer Creek Road welcomes you into this storybook setting, complete with a tranquil pond and over 600 feet of creek frontage. The half-mile of paved driveway winds through a meadow lush with grass and willows, crossing a newly constructed concrete bridge before ascending a gentle saddle lined with towering pines, vibrant aspen trees, and sweeping mountain vistas-an idyllic sanctuary amid Colorado's most breathtaking scenery. At the heart of this remarkable estate stands a 5,000-square-foot home*, accompanied by a recently renovated two-bedroom, one-bath guest house and multiple outbuildings-perfect for storage, workshops, or stables. With no HOA and no covenants, you'll have the freedom to explore private trails for hiking, biking, or horseback riding, all against a postcard-perfect backdrop. Anglers and wildlife enthusiasts alike will delight in brook trout gliding through the creek and regular visits from elk, deer, and migratory waterfowl. Zoning allows for countless additional uses, ranging from a private sporting retreat or equestrian facility to a boutique bed & breakfast or secluded family compound. Modern conveniences blend seamlessly with the alpine landscape, thanks to natural gas, grid-tied solar panels, and a well permitted for up to three single-family homes. Despite its pristine seclusion, this haven is just 40 miles from Denver and 65 miles from Breckenridge, placing both cosmopolitan amenities and world-class skiing within easy reach. * The Main residence has sustained interior and partial exterior fire damage. With much of the structural groundwork intact, the home offers an exceptional opportunity to customize every finish to your exact taste. Architectural drawings are available to spark inspiration. Financing is likely not available.
