The Main Residence (The Dome): A recently renovated (2024), 1,830 sq. ft. Mid-Century Modern geodesic dome. This designer-clad space features soaring ceilings and floor-to-ceiling folding sunroom doors that frame the mountain landscape. The chef’s kitchen is fully equipped with induction cooking and a Breville espresso machine.

The Studio Tiny Home: Overlooking the river, this separate dwelling offers a full kitchen, full bath with soaking tub, Murphy bed, and radiant floor heat—ideal for guest overflow or visitors. Entertainment & Wellness: The 2-car detached garage has been reimagined as the "Wandering Bear Den"—a 480 sq. ft. social hub featuring an 85" TV, arcade classics (NFL Blitz, pinball), and an Xbox. Outside, indulge in a 7-person saltwater hot tub, riverside electric cedar barrel sauna, and a stainless-steel Japanese soaking tub. Prime Location: Skip the I-70 traffic. Located less than an hour from Denver and Breckenridge, 10 minutes to local food & shopping, and only minutes to local food, drinks, shopping & hiking, as well as to world-class wedding venues like Deer Creek Valley Ranch.
