Extraordinary Colorado Retreat
Discover a truly remarkable property just 35 minutes to downtown Boulder or Longmont, Colorado
Nestled on a gated 50-acre expanse of pastoral hills that feel like your own private park, this 4,200+ sf mountain modern custom home enjoys unparalleled vistas that just can't be captured by a camera lens. Backs to hundreds of acres of privately-held land. Hike up to the highest part of the property to enjoy views of Longs Peak at the city. The fully custom Westover home is built next to a dramatic geographical cliff, with more trees than what is typical of the surrounding geography. A small seasonal stream is close to the home. The year-round spring has a dedicated cistern for livestock watering.

The amenities are unique for this location: a private hiking/biking trail, a natural underground spring, RV parking with hook-ups, and captivating outdoor areas. With a keen focus on sustainability, the home is equipped with an efficient solar PV system and constructed with materials prioritized for low toxicity.
The level of thoughtful construction details are evident from the paver stone driveway to the rock stone exterior and fireplace that was curated and picked by hand from the property. Rich cedar board and batten siding, cedar garage doors and walls of glass compliment the mountain modern exterior of the home. The home was designed and built by a funcional medicine Doctor who has dedicated his life and practice around non-toxic living. Because indoor air can be 5-10 times more toxic than outdoor air, the seller invested exceptional care in choosing materials and construction techniques while building the home. This home represents one of the most advanced, chemical-free "healthy homes" you will find on the market or in the region. All building materials are VOC and formaldehyde free. All cabinets are custom solid wood with no particle board. All building materials are from the Green Design Center.
The interior exudes elegance and warmth: a gourmet island kitchen adorned with granite, Bosch stainless appliances, solid copper kitchen hood and warm alder cabinets, seamlessly blending into the hickory hardwood floors. The primary suite sits on its own level and offers a lavish bath with dual vanities, a soaking tub, glass shower, and unmatched westward views of the foothills. Vast picture windows, especially a stunning wall on the main level, flood the space with natural light and scenic beauty. Experience main floor living that comprises a primary bedroom, exquisite kitchen, mudroom, and a 500-square foot sunroom, perfect for fitness or relaxation, complete with an endless lap pool. A dual-zoned central A/C system keeps the space comfortable and cool.
A fully finished walkout basement hosts an office, guest bedroom, and spacious recreational game area. Outdoors, enjoy serene spaces, a garden, a "Catio", horseshoe pits, 3 fire pits, a place to garden and entertain or just witness sunsets that take your breath away.
There is no HOA and road maintenance is minimal thanks to a local tax district and lots of sun in the winter months. The charming town of Lyons is just a short drive where you can do your local shopping, enjoy dinners at inventive restaurants or world-class music festivals during the summer. This is an exceptional property with end-of-the-road privacy yet it's within a short drive to employers, services and recreation.
This property is a slice of paradise waiting to be called home.
