Welcome to historic Cerise Ranch, originally founded by Italian immigrant ranchers who specialized in raising potatoes and cattle, as well as wine and grappa making. This Rocky Mountain development has been meticulously maintained as a preserve and conservation sanctuary, just as the Cerise family intended. Of the 300 acre ranch, each of the 68 home sites sit on a minimum of 2 acres, offering seclusion and quiet space, without isolation. This refined mountain home has lodge-like features including a floor to ceiling masonry fireplace hearth in the living room, vaulted ceilings and richly stained walnut floors. The kitchen has all stainless steel KitchenAid appliances including a 6 burner gas range and is offset by whimsically grained sand toned granite countertops. The laundry room is conveniently located on the main floor down the hall from the powder room and kitchen. The dining room table can comfortably accommodate 6-8 people in addition to the curved island seating area for 4-6 barstools. Directly off of the dining room and kitchen is a patio for al fresco dining and a gas grill, hard lined into the natural gas for continuous use. Just off the living room is another outdoor covered sitting area with an elegant gas fire pit for those avoiding the Colorado sun, or to dodge inclement weather on a rare rainy day. The oversized primary bedroom suite with a king bed, has its own private balcony, gas fireplace, and luxurious ensuite bathroom with a deep jetted soaking tub overlooking the Elk Mountain Range. All of the bedrooms have split unit A/C units to keep the home cool and comfortable on those occasional hot summer nights. Down the hall is a guest bedroom with a twin trundle and can equally serve as an office or private workout room. Bring your Peloton shoes, as there is a Peloton bike and collapsable treadmill at your disposal. (This is in addition to the Clubhouse fitness center by the HOA outdoor pool and 4 acre trout stocked pond!). Further down the hall are two full bathrooms, a guest King bedroom which can be split into two twins, and across the hall is another bedroom with two twin beds. Three of the upstairs bedrooms have gorgeous south facing views of the numerous walking, hiking and biking trails throughout the ranch and stunning mountain vistas from Aspen to Glenwood. On the lower level of the home is a 1,287 finished walk out media room with a common bathroom, game room, a gas fireplace with an enormous flat screen TV, sectional leather couch and additional deep leather chair with an ottoman. There is lastly, an additional guest suite on this level with an ensuite full bathroom. The lower level walks out to another covered patio and then out on to the sprawling and lush back yard. This stately home is perched on over 2 acres overlooking the Rockies, Blue Creek and walking trails which run throughout the entire HOA which backs up to BLM providing space for the indigenous wildlife to roam freely. (Mule deer, elk, coyotes, fox, and hundreds of species of birds). Cerise Ranch is only 23 miles from Aspen, Snowmass, Buttermilk and Highlands. Sunlight Mountain is 30 minutes away and numerous famous hot springs from Glenwood to Redstone are all also less than 30 minutes away. Just under 4 miles to Whole Foods, dozens of fabulous restaurants from Italian to Asian, Mexican, etc, TACAW, the Steadman Clinic, Crown Mountain State Park and dog park, & 5-25 minute drives to numerous golf courses (Roaring Fork Club, RVR,) tennis courts, mountain biking trails, fly fishing, and terrain parks, Cerise Ranch is equidistant to everything the Roaring Fork Valley has to offer! The beauty of Cerise Ranch is one can walk right outside their door and enjoy all of the rugged athletic challenges, dramatic views and wildlife, and the tranquility of being immersed in nature without driving anywhere! Stunning Larkspur Dr. is available mid June through mid-July. Spend your 4th of July embracing a Rocky Mountain high.
