Property Description
Modern Mountain Retreat | 3 Bed | 4 Bath | 9,600 Ft Elevation | Continental Divide Views
Experience modern mountain living reimagined - where architecture, sustainability, and Colorado's historic roots come together in harmony.
Designed and built by Vitruvius Properties, this home sits on historic mining acreage once part of Colorado's gold rush era. The builder transforms these storied sites into luxurious, energy-independent retreats - a fusion of past and future.
Nestled among aspens just three miles north of Idaho Springs, this 3-bedroom, 4-bath home offers quiet seclusion, year-round comfort, and energy independence, all within an hour of Denver.
Expansive windows frame panoramic views of Colorado's 14ers. A solar array with advanced lithium battery storage powers the home efficiently, while an optional grid connection adds flexibility.
Inside, enjoy radiant heat, high-end finishes, and thoughtful design throughout. With reliable high-speed internet, this retreat is ideal for remote work or creative pursuits surrounded by nature.
Step outside to explore National Forest access and scenic trails leading toward St. Mary's Glacier, Winter Park, and beyond.
With year-round recreation and strong demand for vacation rentals, homes in this area also appeal to buyers seeking a flexible mountain retreat - one that can serve as both a personal getaway and an income opportunity.
Location Highlights:
* 2 miles from Black Hawk's Artisan Point - distillery, scenic overlooks, and fresh air views
* Minutes to Virginia Canyon Mountain Bike Park + surrounded by National Forest
* Avoid the I-70 crunch - easy access to Loveland and Eldora without the bottleneck
* Less than an hour to downtown Denver for work or play
Luxury, sustainability, and serenity converge here. A true modern retreat built on Colorado's historic ground.
