Nestled in the heart of Golden Gate Canyon State Park, this secluded cabin on 2.5 acres was custom built and can be your dream home retreat! Only 27 minutes to Golden, 30 minutes to Eldora, 45 minutes to Denver, this private home is easily accessible year-round via paved / maintained roads, in between campgrounds and ranger stations. Expansive decks let you relate to nature, while the home's double apartments allow for guests, rental income and more! Enter through the garage or up the side to the main entrance off the patio, and you'll be greeted by a south-facing living room with vaulted ceilings, wood burning stone fireplace and hardwood floors (custom ash wood, refinished summer 2025). On your right, the north side of the home offers a quaint bedroom with bathroom, next to the main-level laundry. To the left, the kitchen opens up with an island, more than enough cabinetry and south-facing views to the park. An extra bedroom is off the back of the home, used as a dining room or office too. On the south side of the home, off the main kitchen, is a Gilpin County-permitted artists' studio / rec room with its own kitchen, wood burning fireplace, private patio and more! The bathroom is shared between this unit and the main home. Off the kitchen, doors lead to the backyard, opening to a private, wooded retreat with wood storage (for the fireplaces), partially fenced dog run and walking paths / hiking trails! On the north side of the home is a 150 square foot (approximate) shed, which is insulted, has heat and has 240v electrical. In the basement, two bays for cars are present, along with a third bay presently used as a workshop / home gym, along with an exterior carport! On the south side next to the garage, a second apartment / ADU has its own kitchen, bathroom and separate entrance! This home was custom built and has a lot of exquisite features, ready to be your secluded but accessible retreat for living, welcoming guests or income. Priced to sell, so see it today!
