Drive through the private gate and up the tree-lined approach to a compound that reads like a carefully composed mountain painting. Set on approximately 35 acres just outside Trinidad, this 4,237 SF stone-and-timber residence is a study in deliberate craftsmanship — local rockwork, exposed cross-beams, and an artfully built staircase create a strong architectural identity that feels refined and rugged at once. Inside, the main level delivers functional luxury: two generous primary suites on the main floor, a dramatic great room with a hand-laid rock fireplace and cathedral ceiling, and a clean connection to a passive-solar greenroom that extends living into the seasons.
The floor plan supports both everyday living and active outdoor lifestyles. A dedicated utility/workshop and an integrated gym make equipment storage and maintenance effortless. Quality finishes include high-end granite and chef-grade appliance provisions in the kitchen, custom millwork, and thoughtful circulation between living spaces. Mechanicals were recently upgraded — the listing reports a new, high-efficiency heating system — and the property benefits from city water service (buyers should confirm wastewater arrangements).
Vehicle and gear storage are solved: an oversized, insulated 2-car garage serves daily needs, and a newly added insulated 2+ car outbuilding matches the home's aesthetic while accommodating larger toys, trailers, or a workshop. Manicured grounds give way to private promenade trails for wildlife viewing and off-property vistas of snow-capped peaks; the setting delivers solitude without isolation, with Trinidad only about a 15-minute drive for groceries, dining, and services.
This estate is well-suited to buyers seeking a turn-key mountain foothills lifestyle: a primary residence with room to entertain, a legacy property for multigenerational use, or a retreat for outdoor enthusiasts. For buyers desiring privacy, views, solid infrastructure, and characterful construction, this is a rare regional offering.
