Description
Located quietly between Denver and Summit County is the historic gold mining settlement of Russell Gulch. It was likely a gold miner of some means originally constructed this home now for sale 130 years later at 150 Alps Hill Rd. Today, this home is remodeled, updated to today's requirements, and expanded with an over 2000 square foot addition. The current owners embraced a life long adventure of remaking this home into their forever mountain sanctuary. The couple built the home according to their lifestyle, but the possibility was thoughtfully imagined that a large family that might someday take over. Installed is a massive solar PV array and solar thermal (owned, not leased), so this eco friendly home is friendly on the utility bills. This home enjoys different environments where one might read on the porch along side a contemplative spring fed pond, watch the big football game to the crackling of the wood burning fireplace, or spend an afternoon visiting a friend or family member in the mother-in-law suite. Here, you'll enjoy abundant wildlife, including moose, deer, elk, wild turkey and fox. There are 2 additional lots included (patented gold mine lodes) that acsend up the hill to provide magical views of the Continental Divide. On top of the Topeka building site, there is a 180 degree view from Centennial Cone to Mt. Evans to James Peak. If horseback riding located right next door isn't enough, the Topeka and Cooper properites included in the sale would make a great horse property. Comfort, seclusion, and a great entertaining space. And don't forget a great internet and phone signal! Sellers request 24 hour notice when scheduling showings. Schedule today but plan to spend a few additional hours exploring the historic town of Russell Gulch, the entertainment in Black Hawk, the history and museums in Central City and the variety of dining options in Idaho Springs. This is the last mountain frontier within a reasonable commuting distance to Denver.
