Seeking adventurous spirits with a love for Colorado's wild beauty and an all-wheel drive vehicle. This entirely custom, craftsman-built retreat on 7.75 acres offers a lifestyle that's anything but ordinary. Set high above the Pinewood Springs valley, the property delivers sweeping panoramic foothills views in every direction. It includes three separate parcels-one with cabin and two additional lots that are buildable-offering a rare combination of flexibility and privacy. The views stretch for miles toward Longs Peak, Meeker, Lady Washington, and the Continental Divide, while the eastern exposure brings vibrant sunrises and twinkling city lights after dark.Inside, the home is comfortable and full of character, with cathedral ceilings, ample sleeping areas, and interesting architectural details such as curved arches and sun-filled windows. Bamboo flooring, handcrafted cabinetry with polished stone knobs, and a curved wood ceiling add artisan touches. Smart design details maximize storage, and the home enjoys the convenience of a stackable washer and dryer. A resilient metal roof and a productive rain catchment system provide delicious water filtered through a high-tech purification system. The home is off-grid and powered by solar panels with newly installed batteries, though PVREA lines are nearby should you choose to connect. The cabin backs to Roosevelt National Forest, offering instant access to hiking, wildlife, and unmatched solitude. Yet it's just 1.5 miles from Highway 36, giving you quick access to Lyons, Estes Park, and the greater Pinewood Springs community. You'll enjoy peace of mind with the Pinewood Springs Volunteer Fire Department just down the hill and the Colorado Cherry Company minutes away.This is a rare opportunity to live independently, surrounded by and in harmony with nature, with views, privacy, and self-sufficiency-just a short drive from downtown Lyons. Financing may be possible but has some complexities. Cash purchase is best.

Location Information
Directions: From Lyons traveling on Rte 36: turn right at Gate 6 onto Estes Park Estates Drive (if you see the Colorado Cherry Company, you just missed Gate 6). From Gate 6, take an immediate left to stay on Estes Park Estates Drive. It is 1.5 miles up to our property. You will pass the following roads: Appleby & Lookout on the right, then Eagle on the left. All are clearly marked. Take the next right onto Easton Rd. Ours is the 3rd driveway on the right. Green oval sign for easy identification. The driveway is 1/4 mile long.Both Easton Rd & our driveway are steep with switchbacks. All or 4-wheel drive vehicles strongly recommended. At the very least you need high clearance.If Estes Park Estates Road off of HWY 36 is closed due to infrastructure repairs, continue on Hwy 36 to Kiowa and make a right. Follow Kiowa to Arapaho Ct, turn right to Navajo Ct. Bear right on Navajo to Estes Park Estates. Turn left and follow to Easton Rd. Turn right.
