Steeped in Colorado history and situated just 30 minutes from downtown Denver, this foothills retreat presents a rare chance to own a piece of the past in a serene, natural setting. Set on 8 acres near Mt. Falcon and Turkey Creek Canyon, the property includes a natural cave?visible from Highway 285?believed to have once served as a lookout point for the Ute tribe. The home is also said to have been built as a summer residence by George Begole, Denver's mayor from 1931 to 1935. The grounds carry more than history?this is a place where stories continue to unfold. A gondola from Crested Butte, placed when the resort upgraded in the 1970s, still rests among the trees behind the kitchen. The original outhouse and bathtub remain tucked behind the home as well. Wildlife sightings are frequent, enriching the natural experience, while modern amenities ensure everyday comfort. With over 3,200 square feet of finished living space, the open layout connects the updated kitchen to the main living area, filled with natural light and mountain views. A formal dining room and adjacent sitting area provide a warm space for entertaining or quiet reflection. The southern wing includes two bedrooms, a full bath, and two flex spaces?perfect as a nursery, study, or for storage. The lofted primary suite includes a private entrance from the deck, an en suite bath, and dual closets. The finished basement creates additional flexible space for guests or a family room. Outdoor living is elevated by a spacious Trex deck that wraps around the home, linking to a detached garage and flagstone patio primed for cookouts. The second garage includes oversized doors with ample room for recreational gear or a workshop. Above, a functional bonus space with full bath, making an ideal detached work space or playroom. This is where history, nature, and proximity to the city come together in a truly uncommon way. Don't miss the opportunity to write your next chapter in a home like no other.
