Property Description
Welcome to the North Star, a stellar mountain-town family lodge, executive home, natural garden, and private suburban retreat. This extraordinary custom-built sanctuary is set within rolling natural terrain, surrounded by towering pines, majestic firs, and ancient rock outcroppings. Here, nature's rhythm sets the pace for a life well-lived, where each sunrise and sunset paints the sky with amber and gold, and the breeze carries the scent of pine and earth. Step through the oversized, hand-tooled alder door into a radiant light tower that embraces you with warmth and tranquility. The great room, anchored by a moss-rock arched wood-burning fireplace, features floor-to-ceiling picture windows framing Prospect Mountain's south-facing ridge. Privacy and uninterrupted views abound. The open-concept kitchen and dining areas flow onto a spacious deck overlooking private parkland and wandering wildlife. The kitchen boasts black stainless steel appliances, leathered granite countertops, hickory cabinets, and durable tile floors. Every detail, from the rough-sawn cedar tongue and groove siding to the four-panel wooden, pocket, and French doors, reflects artisan craftsmanship. An executive corner office with a private entrance and a serene primary suite are located on the main level. The lower level reveals a family/media room, hobby nook, quiet study, and generous storage spaces, designed to support a life of balance and fulfillment. Step outside and follow a private pathway to the HOA green space and ascend to the summit of Arapaho Peak. Panoramic views of Estes Valley stretch before you, a reminder that this home is more than a place to reside-it's a gateway to adventure and profound peace. The North Star is a place where the best days are not reserved for vacations but are woven into the fabric of everyday living. May all who pass through this door find solace, inspiration, and the enduring joy of a life lived in harmony with the mountains.
