A storybook hideaway designed for inspiration and retreat. Whether envisioned as a writer’s cabin, a weekend escape, or a place to host meaningful gatherings, this forested sanctuary offers a rare blend of timeless charm and natural beauty. Nestled on over two acres beneath towering spruce trees, the property feels worlds away — yet sits just 10 minutes from C-470 and the rhythm of the city.
A whimsical footbridge sets the tone for the experience to come — a home infused with character and wrapped in nature. Inside, a stone fireplace anchors the cozy living area, where rich textures and exposed beams evoke the warmth of a classic mountain cabin. Above, a light-filled kitchen and dining space with a built-in window seat invites lingering mornings and starlit dinners.
A dreamy library with custom shelving and a lofted nook opens to a private deck — a serene escape for reading, writing, or quiet reflection. Two upper-level bedrooms provide flexible space for hosting, creative pursuits, or everyday living.
Outside, the landscape tells its own story — a canvas of evergreens, soft breezes, and passing wildlife. Whether you're seeking solitude, artistic inspiration, or an income-generating retreat near Red Rocks, this mountain haven is a true convergence of seclusion and access — a place to reconnect, reflect, and recharge.
