Panoramic Red Rocks Views — 3 Bed, 3 Bath Mountain Contemporary
If you've been looking for a mountain property that pairs authentic Colorado character with practical modern systems, this Mountain Contemporary log-style home on City View Drive delivers. Perched on about 1.4 acres with wide, panoramic views toward the Red Rocks corridor, the house offers 3,046 square feet of living space, thoughtfully arranged for privacy and flexibility.

Practical upgrades finished by the seller include a new well pump, a radon mitigation system, and dedicated in-room A/C in the primary suite as well as an A/C in the main-floor bedroom for summer comfort. A large storage shed keeps outdoor toys and tools organized, while abundant flat and graded areas on the parcel create options for gardens, a shop, or covered parking if desired.

Morrison is a small foothills town known for its proximity to Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Dinosaur Ridge, and a network of trails. The surrounding neighborhood is low-density with a mix of older mountain homes and newer renovations on larger parcels. Residents prize privacy, recreation access, and scenic vistas while still maintaining reasonable access to Golden and the Denver metro area.
Immediate access to Red Rocks Park and multiple trail systems makes this property excellent for hiking, biking, climbing, and outdoor events.
A factual market snapshot around 10050 City View Dr.
The Morrison / Red Rocks corridor occupies a unique niche in the Denver MSA: limited supply of scenic acreage parcels plus strong demand from Denver-area buyers creates a consistent premium on homes with views and privacy. Over the past 12 months, well-maintained single-family homes with acreage in this micro-market have shown modest appreciation (roughly mid-single digits annually) and substantially lower days-on-market than comparable non-view properties. Inventory for 1–2 acre, scenic parcels is thin; buyers who value proximity to Red Rocks and easy access to trails often move quickly. For sellers, this means pricing competitively around similar view homes while highlighting unique systems upgrades and the dual-primary layout. For buyers, act decisively but verify well/septic and any zoning/permit constraints in your due diligence.
