Perched at 9,250 feet in unincorporated Gilpin County, just 45 minutes from Denver and Boulder, Mtn Star Studio at Natural Moosetique Ranch offers an unparalleled, unicorn-like retreat on 120 acres nestled between the Continental Divide and Golden Gate Canyon State Park. Set on a flat lot adjacent to a lush meadow where moose and other wildlife reside, this oasis comprised of a 4,470 sqft residence and 4,000+ sqft detached barn, is surrounded by rolling hills, aspen groves, evergreens, and flowing creeks for unrivaled privacy and tranquility. The extraordinary home, completed in 2006, drew design influence from the eco-conscious paradise of Costa Rica's Xandari Resort & Spa. Harmonizing luxury, art, and nature with sustainability and durability, the estate exudes enduring quality and comfort in a distinct identity. It is an entertainer's dream, an artist's haven, and a utopia for nature enthusiasts. The home is centered around a 2-story great room with a chef's kitchen, 35-foot vaulted ceilings, panoramic windows, a 27-foot-tall stone fireplace and ambient floating lighting. Exquisite craftsmanship lives in the home's every detail as seen in the hand-polished Venetian plaster walls, concrete floors with hydronic radiant heat, African mahogany flooring, Spanish Cedar solid wood cabinetry, and hammered copper sinks. The detached barn with a garage, bathroom, mechanical room, livestock, or storage area, and second level that could be an office, rec room, or guest suite was used as a creative sanctuary for musicians. Located at the headwaters of South Beaver Creek, the property receives an abundance of dependable, clean water all year round. Plus, with its passive solar design and advanced mechanical systems, owners have the potential for off-grid living. With an estimated current replacement cost of the home at $2,000 per square foot, this one-of-a-kind residence offers a secure oasis with limitless possibilities at an incredible value amid Colorado's high mountains.
