Set across 40 acres just 1 miles from downtown Oak Creek, this property offers the utmost flexibility, tucked behind double gates with sweeping views to Thorpe Mountain, Woodchuck Hill and the northern snow-capped peaks. Surrounded by a network of aspen groves, fenced yard, and a rising ridge line that climbs roughly 400 feet from the back of the home, the property has no HOA, ideal for a private family compound, equestrian estate, or a base for year-round recreation. A network of informal trails and natural terrain supports hiking, snowshoeing, and exploration, while a private drive is shared and maintained by just three other properties. The residence is ideally positioned along the hillside, welcoming by way of a new, expansive wrap-around deck for outdoor living and entertaining. Inside, the light-filled great room features high ceilings and picture windows capturing multi-directional views. The farmhouse-style kitchen features radiant in-floor heating, newer stainless steel appliances, reverse osmosis, dual-fuel range with gas cooktop and electric double oven with air fryer, and a walk-in pantry. Completing the main level is a primary bedroom with work space, ensuite bath and walk-in closet, plus a powder room for guests. Upstairs are two spacious bedrooms with vaulted, beamed ceilings, a full bath, and storage area. On the lower level, find a huge mudroom that can serve as a workspace or second living area. The new deck provides adjacent covered parking for two cars, while the second flat envelope below has a 60’x40’ garage. Freshly painted with a new roof, new boiler, water heater, propane tank, and fiber-wired internet, the property feels remote, yet remains connected, just a 3-minute drive to Oak Creek, moments to nordic skiing, 29 miles to Yampa Valley Regional Airport, 10 minutes to Stagecoach Reservoir, and 25 minutes to the Steamboat Ski Area.
