Nestled on an expansive and highly usable lot in Pinewood Springs, 256 Choctaw Road in Lyons offers a stunning 3,564-square-foot, 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom home attached 3-car garage with electric car charging that perfectly blends mountain serenity with everyday convenience. This exceptional property provides an effortless commute with an easy drive right off Highway 36, placing you less than 30 minutes from the vibrant downtown of Longmont and the scenic gates of Estes Park. The vast, flat, and highly usable acreage provides a rare footprint in the foothills, offering endless space for outdoor recreation, private relaxation, or entertaining against a beautiful mountain backdrop. Inside, you are immediately welcomed by beautiful high ceilings and hardwood floors that have been recently refinished and stained, adding a fresh, modern warmth to the spacious living areas. The main level connects the kitchen and dining room directly to an outdoor balcony featuring great mountain views, making it perfect for morning coffee, evening dinners, and entertaining. The thoughtful layout is highlighted by a private primary retreat encompassing the entire upper level under soaring vaulted ceilings, boasting a spacious walk-in closet, a full bathroom, and a versatile office loft area. The lower level extends your living space with a fully finished basement featuring a dedicated theater room setup for ultimate movie nights, plus plenty of additional space for a rec area, home gym, or future bedrooms. Complete with a large heated 3-car garage for vehicles and mountain gear, this home grants access to Pinewood Springs community amenities, including private natural springs and scenic walking paths, offering a rare Colorado lifestyle with the perfect balance of open space and neighborhood perks.
Pinewood Springs, located between Lyons and Estes Park, is a canyon-side and cabin-dotted Lyons neighborhood with ponderosa pines and the sound of the Little Thompson River. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along Pinewood Road near the Pinewood Springs Post Office, where mailboxes, trailhead chatter, and a slow two-lane rhythm set the tone. Architecture leans rustic—log cabins, A-frames, and hillside homes tucked into rock outcrops and tall timber. Daily life follows the canyon: creekside walks, wildlife sightings, and dark-sky evenings. The drive into Lyons links residents to coffee stops and live-music nights at Oskar Blues Grill & Brew, while Estes Park’s galleries and mountain gateways sit up-canyon.
