About this home
Perched high in the majestic Rocky Mountains, 760 Palisade Mountain Dr. offers breathtaking views of Longs Peak, Storm Mountain, and the sweeping western horizon of Rocky Mountain National Park. Affectionately known as The Sun House, this cozy mountain cabin is perfect as a weekend getaway or a full-time residence. Set on a rare double lot totaling just over an acre, the property welcomes horses, ride down to the community lake, where you can enjoy quiet afternoons fishing or picnicking. A large, flat grassy area is ideal for yard games, gatherings, or parking. The land gently rolls into a wildflower-filled meadow with unique rock outcroppings. The cabin sits above it all, surrounded on 3 sides by a wrap-around deck. The views of the surrounding peaks and wildlife and the sounds of hummingbirds in flight create an immersive mountain experience. Inside, the warm and inviting interior features rustic pine plank walls and vaulted ceilings that create a sense of spaciousness and light. The open-concept living and dining area flows seamlessly into a functional kitchen, all centered around a wood-burning stove that radiates warmth on snowy winter nights. Two comfortable bedrooms and a full bath complete the single-level layout, providing an efficient living space. Ample storage is provided in the generous crawl space, tool shed/workshop, and woodshed. Three separate driveways offer convenient access and plenty of parking. Deep, good producing well and oversized septic. The county allows for an additional dwelling-offering an incredible opportunity to live in the existing home while building your dream mountain retreat. At nearly 7,000 feet above sea level, Cedar Springs Estates feels like a true mountain sanctuary-peaceful, private, and surrounded by nature-yet close enough to the Front Range for an easy commute when needed. Whether you're seeking a tranquil escape, an adventure basecamp, or a place to expand your vision, The Sun House is ready to welcome you home.
