Set on 17+ acres just minutes from downtown Boulder, this legacy estate is far more than a home-it's an immersive mountain retreat with endless possibilities, especially with the coming of the Sundance Film Festival for the next 10 years. VERY insurable due to natural mitigation of Sunshine Canyon. Thoughtfully constructed with massive timber beams, hand-selected stone, and architecture designed to blend seamlessly with its natural surroundings. From the moment you pass through the electronic gate, the setting makes an impression. Towering pines, striking granite formations, and sweeping VIEWS stretching from Boulder toward Denver create a landscape of quiet grandeur. Wildlife is part of daily life here-deer, foxes, and hummingbirds regularly pass through-making it clear that you're not just near nature, you're living within it. Peaceful hiking trails begin just beyond the back door.The home itself reflects exceptional craftsmanship and refined rustic style, reminiscent of classic Aspen and Ralph Lauren mountain estates. Inside, soaring vaulted ceilings, substantial wood beams, and expansive walls of glass frame breathtaking mountain views while filling the interior with natural light. An elevator conveniently connects the main residence with a private guest studio apartment on another level.The open-concept living space is anchored by an impressive stone fireplace, creating a warm and welcoming setting perfect for quiet nights or entertaining friends and family. Outside, a generous wraparound deck provides multiple areas for dining, lounging, and taking in the scenery. The main terrace features an outdoor stone fireplace-an ideal gathering place beneath the stars, surrounded by the scent of pine and the peaceful stillness of the mountains.This property is more than a residence-it's a rare, once-in-a-generation opportunity. A place to embrace the beauty of the land, unwind in complete privacy, and create a legacy that will endure for years to come.
