Imagine living in a wildlife preserve, with elk, deer, trees, wildflowers, and beautiful views of healthy forested hills and giant rock formations. This is the kind of place you think about when you picture the Colorado lifestyle. You wake up to fresh mountain air, views that energize you, meadows, trees as far as the eye can see, and rock formations that will remind you of the rugged spirit of this land. The connection to nature? It's as strong as a wild bull elk. Kick back, relax, and let the peacefulness of this place wash over you, with all the privacy you could ever want. Whether you're looking to saddle up and hit the trails or just enjoy the great outdoors, you're in one of Colorado's finest playgrounds, with hiking and biking trails aplenty. And don't worry, you're not far from civilization. This home is just 10 minutes from Lyons and a short 30-minute drive from Boulder and Rocky Mountain National Park. It's mountain living, but with a little more comfort - mild winters, a cozy 6, 300 feet up in the air, and town just a short drive away. The high-quality home is situated on one of the best large parcels in this Spring Gulch Wildlife Sanctuary, with natural springs and a seasonal stream running through the property, and surrounded with National Forest land. This is exactly why you came to Colorado. The original stagecoach route from Lyons to Estes Park runs through the property and is one of your riding/hiking options, along with national forest trails and miles of country roads. Come on over and visit for a while, but be forewarned, you'll want to live here, and you'll be back.
