Property Description
Experience modern mountain living reimagined - where contemporary 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 is known for transforming these storied sites into luxurious, energy-independent retreats - each one a fusion of past and future.
Nestled among aspen trees just three miles north of Idaho Springs, this 3-bedroom, 4-bath contemporary home offers quiet seclusion, year-round comfort, and effortless energy independence - all within an hour of Denver.
Expansive windows frame panoramic views of Colorado's 14ers, filling the home with light and connection to the surrounding landscape. A solar array paired with advanced lithium battery storage powers the home efficiently, while an optional grid connection provides flexibility for every lifestyle.
Inside, enjoy radiant heat, high-end finishes, and thoughtful design details 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 trail networks leading toward St. Mary's Glacier, Winter Park, and beyond.
