900 Ballantine Rd

Description

Tucked at the end of Ballantine Road, this refreshed mountain sanctuary delivers a rare fusion of raw Colorado and turnkey ease. Its relatively flat, fully usable 3/4-acre mountain parcel gives you room to breathe and a front-row seat to roaming deer, hummingbirds, and fiery alpine sunsets. A fenced backyard offers level space for pets, a future hot tub, or impromptu yard games beneath the pines-proof that "mountain" and "playable terrain" can indeed coexist. An expansive heated three-car garage (23 x 27), a long detached one-car garage (29 x 14) can house multiple vehicles or adventure toys, and a second outbuilding shelter everything-from mountain bikes to backcountry skis. Recent upgrades invite you to drop your bags and live: newer roof, high-efficiency radiant boiler, fresh interior paint, plush carpet, refinished hardwoods, LED lighting, rocker switches, updated outlets, and more. Gather on the sun-drenched deck that feels suspended among treetops while mountains peek through evergreens, with broader vistas possible. Inside, the primary suite boasts dual walk-in closets; below, a walk-out level hosts media, office, and guest quarters, spilling onto a ground-level deck where spring poppies paint the yard. Radiant heat keeps toes toasty, double-pane windows frame evergreen views year-round, and high-speed internet powers razor-sharp Zoom calls. Trailheads-including the 12-mile Apex system, Chimney Gulch, and Beaver Brook-sit minutes away, while I-70 puts you creekside in Golden in about 20 minutes, on a LoDo patio in about 30, or enjoying Summit County slopes in roughly an hour. Multiple living spaces, abundant storage, and main-level laundry complete a floor plan designed for adventure and ease. Whether you crave an elevated basecamp or a peaceful perch for remote work, this home proves you can have it all-mountain serenity plus instant access to Colorado playgrounds.
