Perched among the treetops, this Rocky Mountain Railroad water tower home sits on 10 private acres of serene mountain landscape. Whimsical, imaginative, and unlike anything else in the county, this one-of-a-kind retreat invites you to reconnect with your sense of wonder and adventure. Expansive windows frame the surrounding forest and fill the home with natural light. Every corner feels cozy, enchanting, and inviting. Step outside to discover countless spaces designed for rest and rejuvenation - unroll your yoga mat on the deck, sway gently in the hammocks beneath the pines, or wander peaceful trails through the forest. Wildflowers bloom in abundance, and local wildlife including moose, deer, bobcats, and even bears are frequent visitors. Perfectly situated for outdoor enthusiasts, the property offers easy access to Eldora Mountain Resort, Nederland's biking trails, National Forest hiking, and world-class climbing in Boulder Canyon and Eldorado Canyon State Park. Tucked away from the bustle of the city yet conveniently located between Boulder and Nederland, this mountain sanctuary feels worlds away while remaining just 25 minutes from Boulder and 10 minutes from Nederland.
