About 6553 Sunshine Canyon Dr

Hidden in the tranquil foothills just 15 minutes from downtown Boulder & 1 hour to the Denver airport, is an extraordinary mountain home on the market for the first time. A 17+ acre legacy estate, stunningly crafted with massive timber posts, hand-selected stone, and architectural design that embraces its wild surroundings-this is not simply a home, but an experience. From the moment you drive through the gate, the landscape welcomes you with quiet majesty. Towering pines, granite outcroppings, and expansive views of Boulder and Denver stretch across the horizon. Deer, foxes, and hummingbirds are frequent visitors-reminders that you're not just near nature, you're part of it; step out the back door to serene hiking trails. The residence itself is a masterwork of rustic elegance, and timeless craftsmanship (think Ralph Lauren/Aspen style). Inside, soaring vaulted ceilings, rich wood beams, and walls of glass invite light and mountain vistas into every room. An elevator carries you between floors, connecting the guest studio apartment to the main home. The open-concept living area centers around a dramatic stone hearth, creating a warm, inviting space for both intimate evenings and lively gatherings. An expansive deck wraps around the home, offering multiple spaces to dine, relax, or simply listen to the wind through the trees. An outdoor stone fireplace anchors the main terrace-a perfect place to gather under the stars, surrounded by the scent of pine and the sound of silence.This is more than a home. It's a once-in-a-generation offering. A place to live boldly, rest deeply, and leave a lasting legacy.
