Land
Set on a beautifully landscaped riverfront lot with approximately 130 feet of Roaring Fork River frontage, the property extends to the center of the river itself. A well-accessible path leads from the backyard down to the water, creating an easy connection to fishing, floating, and time spent along the river. The backyard adjoins a public walking path while still offering privacy through mature landscaping and thoughtful design. The home enjoys a commanding perspective from the large upper-level deck overlooking the river corridor and surrounding mountain scenery.
Improvements
Designed to take full advantage of its elevated riverfront setting, the main living level opens onto a large deck overlooking the Roaring Fork River, Mt. Sopris, and the surrounding canyon walls. The elevated position creates an exceptional outdoor living space with expansive views both upstream and downstream, offering a natural extension of the home for dining, entertaining, or simply enjoying the river setting throughout the seasons.
Inside, the home combines mountain character with quality craftsmanship and warm finishes throughout. Cherry cabinetry, hickory plank flooring, and coffered ceilings in the kitchen, dining room, and primary suite create a refined yet comfortable atmosphere. The spacious kitchen features high-end finishes, generous workspace, and outstanding views from the main gathering areas of the home.
The bedrooms are large, comfortable, and thoughtfully positioned throughout the residence, while the bathrooms are tastefully finished with quality materials and functional layouts designed for both everyday living and hosting guests. The primary suite offers a relaxing setting with coffered ceilings and convenient access to the home's main living areas and outdoor deck spaces.
The walkout lower level provides substantial additional living and entertaining space with direct access to the backyard and river corridor. This level includes a large recreation area with surround sound, a wet bar, two spacious bedrooms, and a large bathroom, creating an ideal setup for guests, family gatherings, or game-day entertaining. Large glass doors open onto an expansive concrete patio that transitions seamlessly into the beautifully landscaped backyard.
Additional utility and flexibility are provided by a large basement storage room offering excellent storage capacity and potential for conversion into an additional bedroom with installation of a window well, subject to buyer verification and local requirements.
The residence also includes a separate one-bedroom, one-bath accessory dwelling unit with private outdoor access. Well-suited for guests, extended family, or supplemental income potential, the ADU is thoughtfully finished and offers comfortable independent living accommodations in a highly desirable rental market.
Vehicle and recreational storage are well accommodated with four garage spaces, including a side-by-side two-car garage and an attached deep tandem garage.
