Arvada, CO 80007

This 2.3-acre fenced and gated property is quite possibly the most private in Arvada. More than 70 pines, cottonwoods, maples and aspens spread across the lot. It is a rare piece of land in Jefferson County. With a view of the Rockies, and Leyden Lake Open Space right outside your gate, this south-facing home sits at the bow of a circle drive around a giant blue spruce. A curved stone walk leads to the cedar-sided house. The splash of a fountain rock is the only sound. Through the designer-glass entry door, the inside of this one-of-a-kind home is equally natural and open. The centerpiece is the exposed Georgia red oak post-and-beam frame. Double-pane windows reach two floors high above the slate-floor great room, foyer and kitchen. A gourmet kitchen curves around the granite island. Two bedrooms on the first floor look out over the lake. The master bedroom suite and a loft occupy the entire second floor. Built-in book shelves line the walls of the finished basement. The kitchen opens onto a huge deck surrounding a Wind River hot tub, made in Colorado. Half of the roof above the over-sized, two-car garage is covered with a solar array large enough to cut the electric bill to zero, with energy credit left over. This property is within minutes of shopping, entertainment and downtown Denver. It is the dream . . . it is the home everyone has in mind when they try to describe Colorado Country.
