This inviting home features an open-concept kitchen and living area, warmed by a wood-burning stove, creating a cozy and connected living space. With main-floor living, the layout includes a primary bedroom and full bath on the main level, a second bedroom for guests or office use, and an upper level with a third bedroom, a half bath, and a loft overlooking the living room—perfect for reading, creative work, or a quiet retreat.

POA members enjoy fishing and paddleboarding on two trout-stocked private lakes. Nearby are public snowshoeing trails in the winter, or hiking trails and whitewater rafting on Clear Creek in the summer. The home offers easy access to I-70, connecting you quickly to Denver, Loveland Ski Area, and countless trails, peaks, and lakes throughout Clear Creek County.
