Beautiful, lake-front home with trophy trout right out your door. Have all the enjoyment of a mountain home, yet still be close to services, travel corridors, and many great attractions. This impressive Mountain Chalet was enlarged and renovated in 2011, including the huge, vaulted, primary bedroom with ensuite bath and deck. Also, a billiards room and an oversized 3-car attached garage with XL doors for a motor home and tall 4x4s, and an overhead 2-ton hoist. That's in addition to an oversized 2-car detached garage. Both garages are heated. Nearly all electrical and plumbing was redone. The well too, with turbo-pump and 600gal storage. The entire kitchen and butler's pantry was also redone, and new, 50-year architectural shingles were installed on the house and both garages. The T&G aspen, soaring cathedral ceilings in the front room create extra spaciousness, and the massive wall of windows showcases the lake view, the magical surroundings, and abundant natural light. The surprisingly large fireplace insert heats like a boss! A full, remodeled basement features a family room with fireplace and walks out to a lovely patio for barbecues and gathering around the firepit. Don't miss the large studio/den above the detached garage, just steps from the bustle of the main house. Be it through the generous windows all around, or the wrap-around deck or bedroom deck, enjoy an ongoing show of mountain wildlife, majestic Moose included! The site is mostly level and peppered with beautiful pines, aspens, and wildflowers. And there's a charming playhouse too. Your family and your friends will revel with you in this, your mountain paradise. Just 37 minutes from the Denver metro area, and even closer to many recreation and entertainment opportunities from hiking, biking, and skiing, to ATVing and rock-climbing, to historic old mountain towns mixed with shops and restaurants and world-class casinos too. And fishing. Or just ponder peacefully the shimmering lake through the pines.
