Nestled on a gently-sloping and completely-usable lot up mellow, well-maintained roads in the Goldilocks location of Pinewood Springs, this quiet, beautifully-appointed home provides modern amenities, light-filled, open-concept living, beautiful views & the quintessential mountain experience without sacrificing convenience. Just around 10min. to Lyons, with its unique shops, galleries, fantastic dining & drinking options, entertainment & outdoor recreation (on rivers, trails and mountains)!

Plus, it's just 30min. to Longmont or Boulder, so you don't have to sacrifice convenience. The Little Thompson River meanders through the community which also has its own private swimming hole ("The Tubs") and picnic area, as well as the Crescent Lake fishing pond which is all managed by a voluntary property owner's association. There's no "HOA." The property offers multiple outdoor spaces and a large, fenced-in backyard with lovey rock formations, extensive landscaping, a seasonal casita (perfect for a studio, workshop, or office), and RV Parking. The paved driveway is easy to maintain with full southern exposure. On the main floor, tucked away from the great room, you'll find a private Primary retreat that looks out to the fenced-in aspen garden filled with perennials and bulbs providing 3-season blooms.
