Live Above the Clouds - a house with a VIEW story.

31227 Conifer Mountain Drive, Conifer, CO

Enjoy the breathtaking views from Long's Peak through Downtown Denver and to Conifer, CO from your own private 10-acre Mountain Estate.


Everyone is drawn to the majesty of elevation, whether you’re on a mountain in the Alps or here in the Rocky Mountains. This is your opportunity to be as close to the view as possible, on the edge. The sky is much clearer and the night stars are much brighter than in the haze riddled and light polluted city.

Up here it is a lot more peaceful.

Never grow tired of the 270-degree hand-picked views that include gorgeous muti-color sunrises, serene sunsets, the twinkling of the Downtown Denver and city lights and peek-a-boo views as far as Denver International Airport from one of first lots developed on Conifer Mountain.

Start every day overlooking morning cloud banks and fall asleep stargazing at night.

Views like these, why not?

In addition to the intangible and priceless front range, city and foothills view you will enjoy every waking moment, the owners of this mountain estate left no stone unturned and included every amenity imaginable and then some when they updated, expanded and remodeled their home.

Remodeled and expanded over the past 17 years, the last major remodel was completed in 2016 with over 1.9 million dollars invested. All remodeling was completed down to the studs and fully permitted. The owners designed and rebuilt every facet of the remodels and additions based on how to comfortably live in the foothills year-round. At 9468 feet elevation, this home is built for year-round living rivaling its high-country counterparts and offers the convenient location to the city and more.
