The same quality that is motivating an owner to sell a home in nearby Indian Hills is the exact reason somebody is going to want to buy it: its pristine seclusion. Keller Williams agent Taylor Wilson, who was chosen by the Colorado Association of Realtors as its 2017 Young Professional of the Year, will show you that home and its forested 10-acre site in the foothills, 45 minutes west of downtown Denver, on Sunday, April 22, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
At 5038 Cameyo Drive in gated Mt. Falcon Ranch, you’ll tour a six-bedroom custom of timber-frame construction — a centuries-old art where stout, structural timbers are left half-exposed as a decorative device. In this one, built in 2004, those heart-pine South Carolina timbers unify a wide-open entertaining area that unfolds to sublime parklands beyond.
With 5,333 square feet that includes a main-floor master and an inviting guest-suite level, each with gabled ceilings, it was too much house and too few neighbors for the seller, who has lived here eight years with a Shar-Pei and four horses (the max allowed by covenant). She is off to Lafayette.
The price is $1.925 million. You can walk the magnificent stands of pine and rock outcrops that border Jefferson County’s Mt. Falcon Park, fenced pasture, and an open meadow wide enough for a helicopter pad.
You’ll see an energy design thatap an updated timber-frame technique using SIP insulated panels between the timbers, combined with in-floor radiant heat, which the seller says keeps heating bills between $50 and $90.
There’s a bright kitchen in quartz and cherry over walnut floors, garage parking for four cars, and a secret chamber hidden behind a tack room.
My trip from the DTC was 35 minutes.
Head west on U.S. 285 past C-470 to Parmalee Gulch Road, then take it easy heading up Parmalee past its funky taverns and gallery to a right turn, 2.5 miles in, where you’ll follow the brown signs to Mt. Falcon Park. Cameyo Road into Mt. Falcon Ranch is just beyond a wide meadow (the gate’s open 11-to-1). Again, keep your speed down for a mile-long drive, with a number of turns, to the house.
Or Wilson can arrange a private showing at 303-912-8187.
