Behind a private gate and on over 50 acres, this Golden Gate Canyon estate offers seclusion, natural beauty, and elevated Colorado living. Designed by renowned architect Sears Barrett and built in 2009, the home captures sweeping views of rolling meadows and snow capped peaks through floor-to-ceiling windows, blurring the line between indoors and out. Inside, an open-concept layout is filled with natural light, soaring ceilings, and refined finishes including rich mahogany hardwood floors with radiant heat and 8ft doors throughout. The spacious living area flows into a gourmet kitchen with high-end stainless steel appliances, quartzite countertops, abundant cabinetry, and seamless access to both the dining area and outdoor patios. The main floor primary suite is a peaceful sanctuary featuring a fireplace, dual walk-in closets, private deck, and a 5 piece bath with a jetted soaking tub and oversized shower. Upstairs, 3 guest bedrooms offer comfort and privacy, while a beautifully finished ADU above the heated 3 car garage includes a full kitchen, bathroom, and flexible living space, ideal for guests, extended family, or a creative studio. Outside, enjoy private trails, open skies perfect for stargazing, abundant wildlife, and total tranquility. Horse-friendly and zoned under the Colorado State Forestry Service’s Ag program, the land offers both use flexibility and low utility costs. The property is also off-grid capable with solar and wind power, propane, a private well, and full wiring for security, cameras, internet, and whole-home audio. Zoned for subdivision, the land also presents a unique opportunity for development, investment, or multigenerational living. Despite its seclusion, you're just 20 minutes from Downtown Golden and 45 minutes from Denver, Boulder, and world class skiing. Plus, with rare back road access to I-70 via Idaho Springs, you can bypass ski traffic on Floyd Hill. This property is truly where luxury meets nature, and the mountains meet home.
