Property details

About 11987 W Ranch Elsie Rd

Welcome to this beautifully updated single-family home in the heart of Coal Creek Canyon, offering a flexible layout ideal for house hacking, remote work, or multi-generational living. Step into a stunningly renovated kitchen featuring quartz countertops, custom walnut cabinetry, and Samsung smart stainless steel appliances. The kitchen opens to a balcony—perfect for grilling and dining al fresco. The main level features a sunken living room with new LVP flooring, a cozy gas fireplace, open dining area, two spacious bedrooms, and an updated bath. Upstairs, the private primary suite was enclosed and modernized by the current owners. Downstairs, a large fourth bedroom suite with new carpet and a separate entrance offers rental or in-law potential. Just add a closet for conforming status and consider a kitchenette to boost value. The oversized 4-car detached garage is heated and equipped with 220V power—ideal for a workshop or home business. The finished upstairs includes two offices, a large flex area with kitchenette potential, and a room that could become a bedroom. Note: the garage isn’t currently connected to well and septic. A $50,000 septic system was installed ~2.5 years ago. Also on the property is the original log cabin, a rare piece of area history. While needing significant updates, it could serve as a man cave or she shed, yoga or art studio, or rustic retreat. Families will appreciate Jefferson Academy charter school (K–8) and Eagle’s Nest Pre-K being just around the corner. Set on a serene 1.3-acre lot surrounded by aspens and pines, this property offers privacy and tree-top views—yet is only 15 minutes from Hwy 93. Enjoy easy access to Wondervu, disc golf, local conveniences, and outdoor recreation galore: just 14 minutes to Golden Gate Canyon State Park, 25 minutes to Nederland and Peak to Peak Highway, and 35 minutes to Eldora Ski Resort. A true haven for outdoor lovers, cyclists, and nature enthusiasts alike!
