3505 Saint Francis Way, Estes Park, CO 80517

Description

This is the legacy property you've been waiting for. "Breathtaking" doesn't begin to cover it. Nearly 11 acres with the Continental Divide rising beyond in full, epic scale. Longs Peak and some of Estes Park's most recognizable peaks anchor the horizon. A 4,100+ sq ft main residence is paired with a 4,000+ sq ft heated garage building with RV garage door, space for at least 8 vehicles, a 1-bedroom guest suite with its own private entrance, and greenhouse space. Cinematic views like this are typically reserved for steep hillside settings. Here, they come with flat, usable land. The house is perfectly positioned on the edge of the valley floor. In the living room, the scale of the epic two-story wall of glass can't be captured in photos and is enjoyed from both levels of the home. It pulls the mountains and visiting wildlife into the room, like a living outdoor theater. On the huge deck and you're looking across open meadow, with a small nearby lake that draws elk and other wildlife through the property. This home was built for gatherings, with multiple living areas, guest rooms, and dedicated spaces for work or creativity, supported by built-in cabinetry throughout. The kitchen is generous in scale and designed for cooking and entertaining. Nearly every room captures a postcard view. The kitchen and baths have been updated over time, and the home has been meticulously maintained. Additional features include radiant in-floor heat, newer Pella windows, and solid system upgrades. The outbuilding is substantial. Heated, with a tall RV garage door and generous ceilings, it has the feel of a showroom while functioning easily as a space for a vehicle collection or workshop. The property sits in a private valley with only a handful of neighboring homes, just 15 minutes from downtown. Roosevelt National Forest and Rocky Mountain National Park are nearby for recreation, yet the setting here brings that same experience into your own backyard.
