You're seeking a rural mountain retreat but you really don't want a conventional rustic mountain home. You're looking for that unicorn: beautiful and useable acreage that provides the peace of forested wilderness with a home that is mountain modern, sustainable and built to last. You want something that is contemporary, well-designed and state-of-the-art. You've found your unicorn. Don't let it get away. This Austrian custom luxury cross-laminate timber (CLT) home is built with solid wood prefabricated walls that provide more structural integrity, sustainability, insulation and fire resistance compared to conventional wood-frame building. The interior is warm, modern and enjoys a clean and simple elegance that is sleek not fussy. Rich wood floors, soft and light colored wood walls and custom built-in cabinetry create a serene ambiance. Light is invited into the rooms through walls of sliding glass doors and soaring open-beamed ceilings. The main floor living orients to the south to enhance both light and views. Upstairs, the additional sleeping areas offer flexibility and bonus space for storage. You'll love the land, over 13 acres of diversity including a gently sloping meadow and more rugged hikes up to large granite rock outcroppings at the top of the property. The home is perched on a hill to maximize the views and privacy away from the road. If you want a workshop for creative pursuits, you'll enjoy the large 782 sq.ft. detached building that will inspire your creativity. There is room to build another detached garage closer to the home if that is on your wish list. Metal roofs. The desirable Spring Gulch neighborhood is located just outside of charming downtown Lyons. Roads are maintained by a private road association (including snow removal). The neighborhood is surrounded by national forest that is brimming with wildlife including a huge elk herd. Lyons restaurants, shops and schools are just 15 minutes away on a beautiful country road.
