This single-family retreat sits on top of the hill, isolated on a full acre above Silverthorne with shopping within walking distance. It feels remote and secluded on its own hilltop, with unobstructed views of the mountain range.
The outdoor gas fire pit overlooks Breckenridge and the main patio showcases panoramic views of the Gore Range.
Outdoor Jacuzzi for 7 with privacy and mountain views! A top of the line new Weber Genesis II with rotisserie outside grill (and teak picnic table and chairs) allows for additional cooking and entertainment options.
Despite being on top of the world, this home is only one mile to the core of Silverthorne's shopping, outlets and dining district, and within 10 minutes to world-class hiking, skiing, fishing, snowmobiling and more. Nearby resorts include Arapahoe Basin, Keystone, Copper Mountain, Breckenridge, Loveland, and Vail. If you use a car, 10 minutes more driving gets you triple the house, privacy, space and views, and you can choose a different mountain every day! Explore natural trails (hike the famous Fourteeners among them), minutes from your door. A Charts Room with every ski run and hiking trail framed to plan your days. Summit Stage bus parking or drop off to ski resorts is located on the SW corner of Adams & 4th (~1/2 mile from house). World class fly-fishing within a 10-minute walk on the Blue River.
Inside, you'll find a full gourmet kitchen with everything you can think of, radiant floor heating, a formal dining room, secondary living room for the kids and massive windows looking south and west. An additional full-house carbon and particles water filter delivers clean, drinkable water on every faucet throughout the house. 2 reverse osmosis systems provide perfect mineral (it has an additional cartridge that ads good minerals to already high quality clean and healthy water) makes it unnecessary to buy and carry water bottles to the house.
2 fridges to accommodate all your foodstuff.
7 HD large screen TV monitors with Xfinity X1 offering thousands of movies and TV series free. 3 of the TV sets are 65” OLED 4K HD smart TVs, PPV (pay per view) content also available at cost. Sonos and sound bars to enjoy music and movies. Netflix.

Built-in USB adaptors, hair dryers in every bathroom, room humidifiers, ceiling fans, backpacks with water bottles ready, sleds, ski / board repair bench with tools and supplies, lawn and indoor games, you name it: it is there for your enjoyment!
