There's a quiet rhythm to this place - tucked into the foothills just outside Lyons, where rock outcroppings rise like sculptures and old trees cast long shadows across open pasture. Located only 15 minutes from town and about 35 minutes to Boulder, this gorgeous 7+ acre property feels far from it all, but never out of reach. Spread across gently rolling land, the acreage is cross-fenced and ready for animals, with two seasonal springs and a spring-fed pond keeping the landscape green. A solid well provides water, and thoughtful contemporary updates throughout the home make daily living feel both comfortable and intentional. At the heart of the property sits a one-of-a-kind stone cottage, it's exterior crafted from locally quarried Lyons sandstone. Inside, a dramatic living room draws you in with vaulted ceilings, a round Edison bulb chandelier, and a classic wood-burning stove that brings both charm and warmth. The kitchen is designed for both form and function, featuring granite counters, luxury built-in appliances, and heated tile flooring. Two of the three bedrooms open onto hand-built decks, inviting quiet mornings or starlit evenings surrounded by trees. There is plenty of storage in the easily accessible attic on the second floor. Beyond the home, you'll find a heated barn with running water, a workshop, and an additional studio space that includes a sauna - perfect for creative pursuits or a little solitude. Pasture fencing and an additional barn make this a welcoming home for your horses. Less than an eighth of a mile down the road, you'll connect directly to miles of Roosevelt National Forest trails - ideal for riding, hiking, or simply wandering. And yes, you'll stay connected. Reliable 100Mbps broadband internet can be provided by StarLink and by locally owned XBar7 Communications. This isn't just a home - it's a place to live differently. Intentionally. Quietly. And completely surrounded by the beauty of Spring Gulch.
