Set across 40 acres just 1.5 miles from downtown Oak Creek, this property offers the utmost flexibility, tucked behind double gates with sweeping views to Thorpe Mountain, Woodchuck Hill and the northern snow-capped peaks. Surrounded by a network of aspen groves, fenced yard, and a rising ridge line that climbs roughly 400 feet from the back of the home, the property has no HOA, ideal for a private family compound, equestrian estate, or a base for year-round recreation. A network of informal trails and natural terrain supports hiking, snowshoeing, and exploration, while a private drive is shared and maintained by just three other properties. The residence is ideally positioned along the hillside, welcoming by way of a new, expansive wrap-around deck for outdoor living and entertaining. Inside, the light-filled great room features high ceilings and picture windows capturing multi-directional views. The farmhouse-style kitchen features radiant in-floor heating, newer stainless steel appliances, reverse osmosis, dual-fuel range with gas cooktop and electric double oven with air fryer, and a walk-in pantry. Completing the main level is a primary bedroom with work space, ensuite bath and walk-in closet, plus a powder room for guests. Upstairs are two spacious bedrooms with vaulted, beamed ceilings, a full bath, and storage area. On the lower level, find a huge mudroom that can serve as a workspace or second living area. The new deck provides adjacent covered parking for two cars, while the second flat envelope below has a 60'x40' garage. Freshly painted with a new roof, new boiler, water heater, propane tank, and fiber-wired internet, the property feels remote, yet remains connected, just a 3-minute drive to Oak Creek, moments to nordic skiing, 29 miles to Yampa Valley Regional Airport, 10 minutes to Stagecoach Reservoir, and 25 minutes to the Steamboat Ski Area.
