"Wow, it really is like hiking through Rocky Mountain National Park"-Anonymous Visitor.Open House this weekend! (Saturday, 5/10/25, 2pm-4pm) 1553 Rowell Dr. in Lyons, CO is not just another "house" it is a private and peaceful mountain sanctuary (just 15 minutes from town) in Spring Gulch Ranch Estates, where tranquility, creativity, and fulfillment can flourish with unique allure. This south facing 3 bedroom, 2 bath home with expansive views sits on 12.78 acres that feature its own hiking trails, camping platform in an open meadow, seasonal stream, and an epic vista to behold from the snow capped mountains to the rolling plains. Additional attributes of this home are: newer appliances, fresh interior and exterior paint, whole house A/C, tankless water heater, new well pump, and 240V outlet in garage for EV charging, owned solar array provides efficiency/low utility bills, fenced in dog yard, fire pit, second attached garage that was used as a music studio (could be a great home gym) and even a skateboard halfpipe ramp with Rocky Mountains in the background! (Skateboard ramp *can* be disassembled by seller...but why would you want to do that?!?! ) This property is zoned to allow horses and roughy 4 acres of this property would work as a horse property. The short drive to and from this home meanders through a literal Colorado storybook with neighboring alpacas, cows, and ponies watching you drive by. There are frequent elk herds visiting the many beautiful mountain horse ranches, it's hard to find a property that still feels this secluded with acreage but still has the convenience of groceries, restaurants, schools, shops, river tubing, rock climbing, mountain biking trails and music festivals all within a few miles. This property would work great for someone with a home office/business with the second attached garage space or make it a really cool home gym!
