This extraordinary river-front is on the market for the first time in a quarter century. It comes complete with award-winning landscaping and has been featured in the Rocky Mountain News. Situated on 1.89 acres, the area feels like hundreds due to the seclusion and privacy offered by the centuries old, mature cottonwood trees, the surrounding 855 acres of protected Douglas County Open Space and Plum Creek which borders the property.
Set in the heart of prestigious Plum Creek Valley, with the only visible neighbors being the wild life including elk, deer, nesting eagles, blue herons and other assorted water fowl. Yest the city is still close enough for an easy commute, shopping or a night on the town. The property is located 25 minutes from downtown Denver, 20 minutes from Park Meadows shopping mall, 10 minutes from the Outlets at Castle Rock, 10 minutes from the Mineral Light Rail station and C-470, and only 50 minutes from Denver International Airport. Both Chatfield and Roxborough State Parks are within a 15 minute drive as well, in case you feel the need for even more wildlife, open space or for water recreation.
The house itself is a custom five bedroom, five bath spread across three floors including a finished, walk-out basement. Wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling windows give the rooms an airy, light feel while providing panoramic views of the mountains. Top floor skylight throughout allow for natural lighting all year long. With southwestern exposure, the inside climate is continuously comfortable but during the cooler seasons can be assisted with radiant floors and forced natural gas heat. The three-story fireplace (two gas, one wood-burning) give additional heat and ambiance.
The kitchen is a central area of the house but also acts as a natural divider, separating off the secondary master bedroom, making it perfect for offering your guests more privacy or for using the area as a home office.
Featuring a contemporary, wide-open floor plan, the basement and living areas, along with the rest of the home have built-in, professional sound systems that extend patios and lawn for enjoying award-winning landscaping to your favorite music.
The cascading waterfalls culminate into a koi pond that readily lends itself to winter ice skating parties with a huge outdoor fire pit to enjoy hot cocoa and watch the kids.
Central vacuum, laundry chute, huge walk-in attic storage space, fifty-year composite roofing, hardwood and stone floors, Berber carpeting, attached 2 car garage and over-sized 6 car, two-story barn (a perfect place to store motorized toys, an RV or boat) make this property perfect for a family or couple who enjoy the outdoors but still need to be close to the city.
