Wow! Bivouaking on the southern slope of Deer Ridge, & only 4 properties away from the Rocky Mountain Nat'l Park boundary and the east Deer Mtn trail, 2280 Valerian sits on a 1.4 acre lot commanding views of snow-capped peaks from Longs Peak to Stones Peak in the Front Range stretch of the Great Divide. Wow!! Have you always wanted to live somewhere that says Wow?! All day long? Everyday? This mountain modern home in the Upper High Dr neighborhood on the west side of Estes is that home. As you sip your coffee and watch the Peaks of the Divide catch the first rays of dawn, Wow! As you watch amazing sunset after amazing sunset, never getting old...Wow! As you experience the subtlety and soul-stirring transcendence of Alpenglow. Well... Wow! As the owls call from the tree by the deck & the Golden Eagles soar by, the bobcat chases the chipmunk, the Turkeys trot through, & the Elk wander by, Wow! Longs Peak is the central motif, captured in the phalanx of south-facing windows. It's the recurring theme that fills your views and lifts your soul. With your favorite 14er as the focal point, you'll spend days glued to the telescope discovering the contours and prominences of Longs and it's approaches. And the peaks of the Divide beckon to the west, too. The home has a modern sensibility yet feels like your mountain cabin home (cue banjo twangs). It embraces both a rustic mountain vibe and its contemporary designs. With 2 BR suites on the main floor and another below, it's a gathering place by design. This sleek contemporary home blends clean architectural design with the warmth of a true mountain retreat. Expansive windows fill the home with natural light while perfectly framing the iconic peaks. Step outside onto the spacious deck and take in the unobstructed alpine views, creating the perfect setting for relaxing or entertaining. There it is again... Wow! Furniture stays for a turnkey - drop off the groceries and hit the trail! - mountain home. Wow!!
