Modern mountain living, beautifully untamed. Tucked into the aspens on more than 2 private acres, 682 Alps Hill pairs contemporary architecture with the freedom to live a little differently: bring the horses, bring the dogs, bring the gear. An unforgettable aspen-lined drive leads through the automated gate to a fully fenced mountain retreat designed for both everyday living and Colorado adventure. The southwest-facing shed roof fills the home with natural light and frames Colorado sunsets, while tongue-and-groove cedar and standing-seam metal create a distinctive, low-maintenance mountain exterior. Professionally landscaped grounds feature moss rock accents, outdoor sitting areas, a dedicated dog run with dog door, and custom storage structures. A portion of the property extends across the road and has even served as the setting for a private outdoor wedding. Upstairs you'll find 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The flexible lower level gives you room to make the property your own: gym, workshop, home office, den, gear room, or vehicle storage. Wildlife is abundant, and outdoor recreation is practically outside your door, with hiking, biking, skiing, fishing, and endless mountain exploring nearby. Yet you're approximately 45 minutes from Denver and minutes from Idaho Springs, Black Hawk, Central City, the Argo Cable Car, and area skiing. For buyers considering an income-producing mountain getaway, several nearby properties have successfully operated as short-term rentals, adding another intriguing possibility to this already versatile property. (Buyer to independently verify STR eligibility, current Gilpin County regulations, licensing requirements, and permitted use.) Full-time home. Weekend escape. Horse property. Adventure basecamp. Potential investment. 682 Alps Hill is a rare opportunity to create your own version of Colorado mountain life.
