Welcome to a truly extraordinary property! This 3-acre estate is a historic hydroelectric plant meticulously refurbished into a stunning riverfront home offering an unparalleled living experience with a touch of history and the comfort of modern luxury. Situated between the gently cascading Fall River, this property is a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts featuring world-class fishing and backs to the Arapaho National Forest. I-70 is less than 3 miles away creating the perfect location between Summit County ski resorts and Denver's dining and entertainment amenities and DIA. The home features a chef's dream kitchen designed for culinary excellence: a 12-foot granite island serves as the centerpiece, equipped with twin Sub Zero refrigerators, 4 burner Wolf stove and additional Sub Zero fridge drawers embedded in the island. A large pantry, copper prep sinks, coffee nook, and custom storage for your stand mixer reflect the thoughtful design found throughout the home. The acid-stained concrete floors resembling rich leather and an efficient Russian stove fireplace and bread oven, blend the ambiance of the open floor plan. A 74-inch TV mounted on a hydraulic arm allows for optimal viewing from different angles. Tall barn doors open to an outdoor patio with a dedicated propane line for the grill, a whole house generator, new hot tub, and a fenced backyard with a covered dog run. The primary suite features programmable skylights that let in natural light and adjoins with a bonus room - an exercise room, den, or a second office. A detached garage converted into a studio adds versatility, offering a creative space or an easily restored 2-car garage. Completing the outdoor amenities is a children's play garden, greenhouse, and chicken coop. The 18-inch thick walls, custom Hunter Douglas electric blinds and radiant floor heat create a cozy and energy-efficient environment. This home is where history and modernity converge offering a Colorado lifestyle that is truly special.
