Property Description

Nestled on three beautifully landscaped acres in prestigious Shenandoah Estates, this custom-crafted mountain home offers the perfect combination of luxury, privacy, and breathtaking Colorado scenery. Perched at approximately 7,650 feet, the property captures sweeping views of Lake Nighthorse, multiple mountain ranges, and abundant wildlife while bordering hundreds of acres of undeveloped state land. Located near the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, the setting is remarkably peaceful with minimal visibility of neighboring homes. Designed with timeless mountain architecture, the home showcases soaring cathedral ceilings accented by massive handcrafted beams, rich alder wood trim and cabinetry, solid alder doors, hardwood floors, and exceptional custom finishes throughout. Expansive Jeld-Wen casement windows fill the home with natural light while perfectly framing the spectacular views. The impressive great room serves as the heart of the home, featuring dramatic vaulted ceilings, an open balcony, a stunning floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace with a Heatalator wood-burning insert, spacious dining area, and French doors leading to a large covered deck. This outdoor living space provides an incredible setting for relaxing or entertaining while overlooking Lake Nighthorse and the surrounding mountain ranges.
