This fully fenced, horse-friendly retreat welcomes you with an unforgettable drive through the aspens before revealing a rare blend of modern design and mountain infrastructure. Located in an area where several nearby homes have successfully operated as short-term rentals, the property also offers intriguing investment potential for those willing to verify current Gilpin County regulations, licensing requirements, and eligibility. The southwest-facing shed roof brings in natural light and frames Colorado sunsets. Professionally landscaped grounds include moss rock accents, sitting areas, an automated entry gate, a dog run with dog door, and custom storage structures. The final photo shows the portion of the property across the road, previously used for a private outdoor wedding. Upper level: 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms. Lower level: flexible space for a gym, workshop, office, den, or vehicle storage. Exterior is tongue-and-groove cedar and standing-seam metal siding. Durable, low-maintenance. Wildlife-rich setting just 45 minutes from Denver and minutes from Idaho Springs, Black Hawk, Central City, the Argo Cable Car, and area skiing, with continued access improvements underway at Floyd Hill. Whether your vision is a full-time home, a weekend mountain escape, or an investment opportunity with potential for short-term rental use (buyer to verify Gilpin County regulations and licensing requirements), 682 Alps Hill offers the rare combination of modern comfort, mountain privacy, and convenient access that makes it equally appealing as a place to live, relax, or share with others.
