Since its inception, everyone that has visited this house has commented positively about the space. Owner designed, and built with the help of local craftsman, no detail was left untouched. With 15' high vaulted ceilings, south facing aspect, passive solar design, and filled with an abundance of windows, this house is flooded with light, color, and ample ventilation. When temperatures drop, in floor radiant heat takes over to provide warmth underfoot and an auxiliary gas stove provides instant heat. With an amazing view of Mount Thorodin, also know as the "sleeping giant", this 10'500 foot mountain is the focal centerpiece. Perched on top of a hill and surrounded by trees, one has the feeling of being in a "tree house".

The property is located in a rural mountain neighborhood and is very secluded as it backs up to National Forest service land, however, it is less than only one mile away from a major highway (Hwy 72) and has ample parking. It is very quiet consisting of only two other neighbors with ample spacing. Even though the property has a Black Hawk address, it is actually closer to the small but bustling mountain town of Nederland. The local area provides numerous summer and winter recreation activities and is flanked by the Continental Divide Mountain Range with protected Wilderness areas. Minutes away, Eldora Ski Resort provides world class Alpine skiing and a Nordic Center with over 40 kilometers of groomed trails.
