Nestled on three beautifully landscaped acres in prestigious Shenandoah Estates, this custom-crafted mountain home offers the perfect combination of luxury, privacy, and breathtaking Colorado scenery. Perched at approximately 7,650 feet, the property captures sweeping views of Lake Nighthorse, multiple mountain ranges, and abundant wildlife while bordering hundreds of acres of undeveloped state land. Located near the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, the setting is remarkably peaceful with minimal visibility of neighboring homes. Designed with timeless mountain architecture, the home showcases soaring cathedral ceilings accented by massive handcrafted beams, rich alder wood trim and cabinetry, solid alder doors, hardwood floors, and exceptional custom finishes throughout.
