Impeccably updated and artfully crafted, this stunning River Valley Ranch home offers a rare blend of character, comfort, and mountain magic—all framed by lush landscaping, mature trees, and postcard-worthy views of Mount Sopris over open space and ponds.
Enter to find an architectural masterpiece, where soaring ceilings and solid maple hardwood floors lead into a breathtaking great room anchored by a custom quartzite fireplace and hand-hewn reclaimed wood mantle. The chef's kitchen is both functional and beautiful, featuring Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances—including double ovens, grill, griddle, and microwave speed oven—alongside quartzite counters, a center island, and custom-paneled refrigerator and dishwasher. Reclaimed barn timber, a one-of-a-kind owner-built over-island light fixture, and rich cherry cabinetry add warmth and soul.
The main-level primary suite lives like a luxury retreat, with French doors opening to the patio and hot tub, a cozy gas fireplace, dual walk-in closets, and a spa-style bath with a jetted tub, steam shower with river rock flooring, smart toilet, and striking vessel sinks carved from a single split boulder.
A French-doored office (or conforming sixth bedroom) with a full granite-appointed bath offers quiet flexibility on the main floor—plus direct access to a shaded front patio for peaceful coffee breaks or private calls.
Upstairs, an open catwalk walkway and loft area overlook the great room below, enhancing the sense of space and light. Two vaulted bedrooms share a large bath and boast sweeping Sopris views from oversized picture windows.
The expansive walk-out lower level includes a sprawling rec room, kitchenette, 700+ bottle temperature-controlled wine cellar, two additional bedrooms, a full bath, multiple oversized storage rooms, and flexible space for a gym, studio, or future suite with rough-in plumbing already in place.
Outdoors, enjoy evenings on the flagstone patio with a built-in propane fire pit, garden beds, and direct access to neighborhood open space and seasonal skating or paddleboarding on the adjacent pond. In winter, cross-country ski right out your back door across the River Valley Ranch golf course.
The oversized heated garage includes ski and boot storage, a built-in workbench, and generous cabinetry. A high-efficiency boiler and mini-split A/C units in key rooms ensure comfort year-round. HOA amenities include pool, pickleball and tennis courts, a fitness center with optional classes, trails, and the award-winning River Valley Ranch Golf Course—ranked among Colorado's top 10.
