35 miles to the west of Denver on 285 - South as far as the signs go, because 285 starts moving south a bit later. First stoplight is at Pine Jct. Around 4 miles later to stoplight #2, which is Park County road #43. Turn right, follow it to a Y, #47, stay right and meander through the greenery until the pavement ends. You'll be at 9200 feet in the Colorado Rockies, and officially in Harris Park. Caveat? This small community is surrounded by National forest, and has an abundant supply of natural water, and from it's humble beginnings to present, no one has ever punched a bad well. In today's 'bottled water' and 'filtered faucet' society, that's big. A great escape from constant 'Ozone' warnings, and traffic jams. Many people up here have discovered this, and have 2nd homes and cabins in this area...a trend started long ago to escape the city's confines. This home is south face and positioned on the side of a hill, and overlooks a lake that's currently getting updated by the Harris Park water board, which owns a goodly amount of acre feet of the water. The hill on the opposite side of the lake is literally covered with trees from bottom to top. The house is designed with a city loft style in mind, with a large open main room, high ceilings, and oversized bedroom and bathroom. With 10 south face windows for a great view and the large sun room and plenty of natural sun warmth to the plumbing centered and situated far below the frost line depth, the home exudes a smile and sense of freedom. Planted on an 1800 sq. ft footprint that required an engineered foundation, along with an engineered septic system, the home was designed to give a relaxing breath of fresh air, whether sunning on the decks or hiking the many trails in the surrounding forests, or fishing in Harris Park lakes. Perfect setup for those who work from home and not have to drive back and forth to the city daily, for those who want a second home after retiring, or artists/musicians, etc.
