This mountain home isn't just beautiful-it's built to perform. Expertly crafted just two years ago by one of Estes Park's most respected builders, every feature was chosen to maximize comfort while minimizing energy costs. Energy-conscious construction includes 2x6 framing, heavy insulation, and high-efficiency Andersen heat-lock windows that flood the home with natural light while keeping heating and cooling costs low. Fiberglass exterior doors add durability and insulation, while a hybrid electric water heater and high-efficiency furnace provide reliable, cost-effective comfort year-round. On cooler nights, the wood-burning fireplace delivers cozy warmth and rustic charm without high utility bills. Inside, you'll find thoughtful finishes like an oak staircase and soft-close kitchen cabinets. All of this sits on 1.2 acres backing directly to protected National Forest-offering endless hiking trails, frequent wildlife sightings, and a private connection to nature. Just minutes from downtown Estes Park, you'll enjoy both the peace of the mountains and the convenience of shops, dining, and community amenities. This is your chance to own a home that's as smart as it is beautiful. Schedule your private tour today.
