Welcome to the North Star, a stellar mountaintown family lodge, executive home office, natural garden & private suburban retreat. The extraordinary custom build has incredibly beautiful rolling natural landscape and stunning views. Stately situated among pines, firs and ancient rock outcroppings, it has been masterfully crafted. The property excels in geography, natural attributes, architectural design, accessibility, live-ability, and quiet peaceful times. The one-of-a-kind integrated floor plan blends seamlessly with the outdoors. Every window features groomed and unspoiled natural landscaping. Every detail tells a story. The property is infused with features that inspire family connectedness, work productivity, and personal tranquility. The reality of best days ever begins on entry through an oversized hand-tooled alder door into a bright light tower. The great room is graced with floor to ceiling picture windows with Prospect Mtn's south facing ridge most prominent. Staked on a protected north facing hill, no need to cover the windows. The main living area also features a cozy moss-rock arched wood burning fireplace. The open living and kitchen/dining areas flow onto a large deck that overlooks private parkland and curious wildlife. An executive corner office with private entrance as well as the primary suite are also on this main level. The home has notable craftsmanship, extensive stone work, specialty lighting, and high-end finishes throughout including log woodwork, beams, vaulted aspen ceilings, 4-panel wooden/pocket/French interior doors, natural hard rock maple floors, hickory cabinets, and rough sawn cedar tongue and groove siding. Bonuses include black stainless steel appliances, leathered granite, family/media room, hobby nook, lower study, and large storage spaces. The property joins private HOA green space with direct private access to the summit of Arapaho Peak and panoramic views of Estes Valley. Feels like a RMNP vacation right out the backdoor.
