    Welcome to a bold expression of Colorado independence, elegance, and mountain spirit. Architect-designed and custom-engineered, this 3-bedroom, 3-bath retreat spans 35+ private acres with no HOA, refined craftsmanship, and a lifestyle reserved for the truly discerning. From the moment you arrive, the setting speaks volumes—total privacy, crisp alpine air, and the thrill of discovering something truly exceptional. Inside, the home unfolds with purpose: soaring vaulted ceilings, rich hardwood floors, and a striking floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace define the main living space with bold luxury. At the heart of the home is a gourmet kitchen designed for both form and function—featuring granite countertops, premium stainless appliances, a Wolf range, and a built-in dumbwaiter that makes moving supplies from the attached 2-car garage effortless. The primary suite is a luxurious escape, complete with a private en suite bathroom, custom finishes, tranquil views, and direct access to the outdoors. The walk-out lower level is made for entertaining, with a spacious family room and wet bar, a third bedroom, a steam shower, and access to a covered patio featuring an outdoor Kiva fireplace. Whether it's morning coffee, twilight cocktails, or stargazing under Westcliffe’s world-renowned Dark Skies, this is Colorado living at its most enchanting. Modern efficiency meets timeless design with a 32-panel grid-tied solar array, whole-house water filtration, reverse osmosis system, and quiet cove heating for clean, consistent year-round comfort. A detached 2-car garage and dedicated workshop add space for hobbies, tools, or gear. And when it’s time to explore, you’re less than an hour from Gold Medal fishing and whitewater rafting on the Arkansas River, and about an hour and a half from Monarch Ski Area. This is more than a home—it’s your Colorado legacy in the making. Live boldly. Breathe deeply. Schedule your private showing today.
