381 Saddle Lane

You won’t truly understand this home until the moment you step onto the property. Perched on the side of Mt. Bailey and directly bordering Pike National Forest to the west and unused, forested Ag land to the south, this isn’t just a home, it’s a front-row seat to the majesty of the Rockies – pictures do not do the view justice, even the UPS guys are in awe. The heart of this property is the commanding views of Platte Canyon, Bailey and the Continental Divide. The land provides all the adventure you could want, from hiking your private 35 acre national forest, putting in a yurt (in GMU 461), and more. The road is plowed to the driveway by the county and UPS and FedEx deliver. Along with multiple internet and trash options, you have all the modern amenities at your finger tips. Hardwired Starlink is provided with the home. Whether you are sipping coffee on the multi-level deck or working from your home office, the unobstructed views provide a living backdrop that no painting could ever match. Enjoy hiking out your back door on the 35 acre property while being among the trees and wildlife. The home is designed to be energy efficient with multiple passive solar design components and a whole home EPA rated wood stove with built in blower, resulting in low propane costs further enabled by higher than building code required insulation rating. The high-performing well and over sized septic system (allowing for additions or additional structures), further reduce your monthly costs. The interior offers a contemporary, functional layout with 2 suites upstairs and a 3rd bedroom or study on the main level. The kitchen is well-appointed with high-end appliances including a professional grade gas stove with flat top, large island, pantry, and a convenient stock pot filler at the range. The ground level basement has been drywalled and upgraded electrical has been installed. The space can be used as a workshop, utility sink included, or turn it into an additional living area. The choice is yours. Attached to the home, a truly 365 day greenhouse, designed by Ceres ([hidden information]) in Boulder and directly accessible from the basement, providing tomatoes in February without going outside. Dual level GAHT air handler (aka Solar Battery) regulating both hot and temperatures, electrical, functional lighting, and smart watering control via Rachio are all in place. Meyer lemon, blackberries, raspberries, and strawberries are all established and highly productive with additional space for anything you can imagine. Rarely do properties of this size and sustainable setup become available in Bailey. With 35+ acres, you have some flexibility to build additional out buildings, among other advantages. Reduce your utility bills and grow your own food to establish your own sustainable mountain paradise. Come. See for yourself.
