Set on 38 acres in the foothills of Colorado’s Front Range sits the kind of mountain home most people can only dream about.
That’s because the 4,625-square-foot rustic-chic cabin at 9126 Gold Mine Road, which is now on the market for $2.8 million, not only comes with oodles of acreage—38 to be precise—but also boasts 360-degree views of the surrounding area that have to be seen to be believed.
Its listing photos reveal just a small taste of the sweet vistas on display from the property’s prime perch on Loveland Mountain, capturing a watercolor sky that transforms throughout the day, turning every window of the home into a new piece of art with every passing hour.
“Upon entering the property, you will be wowed by views framed by the accordion doors creating walls of glass that make up the entire east side of the home,” the listing states.
While the views are best enjoyed from the home’s incredible outdoor kitchen and expansive terrace, the rest of the log cabin home is equally impressive with its timeless lodge-style design.
“It’s one of those rare log homes that provides a refined, Western ambiance,” says listing agent Brie Jones, of The Bernadi Group.
If you are able to tear your eyes away from the breathtaking views, inside the home, you will find another feast for the senses in the form of the home’s many impeccable design details.
Inside, reclaimed wood, stone floors, and warm copper details create an inviting setting that strikes the balance between rustic and refined living.
Built in 2001, the four-bedroom residence underwent a major renovation in recent years.
“The entire home was fully renovated in 2022, along with the outdoor hardscape,” Jones says. “The property has been updated with meticulous attention to detail.”
The result is a mountain estate designed for modern comfort and connection to its natural surroundings. Indoors, the chef’s kitchen blends character and functionality with premium Sub-Zero, Miele, and Aga appliances and custom copper and reclaimed wood countertops.
Expansive windows offer unbeatable views of Horsetooth Reservoir and city lights in the distance. Multiple spaces, including the living room and two bedrooms, seamlessly open to the outdoors. And it’s here that the property truly shines.
“There is a tremendous outdoor kitchen with high-end, state-of-the-art Viking appliances,” says Jones. “It includes an ice maker, Kegerator, and a huge burner for crawfish boils. There’s also a wood-burning pizza oven.”
The space is built for year-round entertaining, complete with five heaters, three TVs, a fire pit, and integrated lighting and sound systems.
For equestrian enthusiasts, the estate’s two-stall heated barn, dressage arena, and auto-watered paddocks make it as functional as it is beautiful.
“The equestrian facilities are top-notch,” Jones adds. “It’s a property that’s as perfect for horses as it is for entertaining.”
Beyond the on-site facilities, the property immediately invites exploration thanks to its enormous parcel of land that is rich in natural beauty and an abundance of wildlife.
“One-of-a-kind, exceptional equestrian estate spanning over 38 acres with 360-degree views. Luxurious indoor/outdoor living at its finest, this estate combines mountain log home grandeur with the refined elegance of top-quality finishes,” the listing notes.
While the home feels a world away, it’s only a short drive to some of Northern Colorado’s most beloved destinations. Horsetooth Reservoir is just 5 miles away, while downtown Fort Collins, New Belgium Brewing Co., and Colorado State University are all within easy reach.
