211 Cedar Way

There is a different kind of quiet in the mountains. The kind where the trees move, the air feels a little cleaner and home feels like an escape. Welcome to 211 Cedar Way, tucked among the pines and aspens in unincorporated Gilpin County, just five miles north of Black Hawk and just off the Peak to Peak Highway near the top of Golden Gate Canyon. This 2,470-square-foot home brings together the character of Colorado mountain living with a layout designed for real life. Inside, soaring vaulted wood ceilings, skylights and expansive windows fill the main living spaces with natural light and frame the surrounding trees. The open kitchen, dining and living areas create an easy gathering space, while three levels of living provide flexibility for bedrooms, guests, a home office, recreation space or whatever life calls for next. Upstairs, the loft overlooks the dramatic great room below, and the spacious primary suite includes its own private balcony surrounded by the trees. Outside, an expansive deck with a hot tub creates a natural extension of the living space, whether it is morning coffee, dinner outside or a soak under the Colorado sky. The usable, relatively flat lot offers room to enjoy the outdoors, along with a paved pull-through driveway, attached garage and fenced area. County-maintained and plowed roads help make year-round access more approachable. Homeowners also enjoy access to four private lakes, including two stocked annually for fishing, while the seasonal pond becomes a gathering spot for neighborhood hockey games in winter. Nearby hiking, recreation, the Gilpin County Community Center and library keep everyday life connected. Wildlife is part of the scenery here, and clear nights mean stargazing and meteor showers from the hot tub. Close to Golden Gate Canyon State Park, Peak to Peak Highway and Black Hawk, this is Colorado mountain life with room to breathe and without making everyday life an expedition.
