1856 Ridge Nederland, CO 80466

Offered for the first time in nearly four decades, this thoughtfully crafted mountain home in Bonanza Mountain Estates reflects a level of care and intention that is increasingly rare. Built by the current owners in 1987, the home sits in a quiet, easily accessible setting off Ridge Road, just minutes from Nederland while still feeling immersed in the surrounding forest. Set among mature aspens and evergreens, the property comes alive with the soft movement of leaves in the summer and brilliant seasonal color in the fall. Southern exposure fills the home with natural light throughout the day while offering long range views toward the mountains and Continental Divide. The main level welcomes you through a practical tiled mudroom into an open living space where kitchen, dining, and living areas connect comfortably. Expansive windows bring the outdoors in, complementing warm wood finishes and hardwood flooring. Radiant heat on this level adds a steady and comfortable warmth, and a full bath provides convenience for guests. Upstairs, two bedrooms share a beautifully updated bath featuring a soaking tub and a detailed mosaic tile shower. One of the bedrooms enjoys direct access to a private balcony. The uppermost level offers a distinctive bonus space with vaulted ceilings and abundant light, ideal as a creative studio, office, or additional sleeping area, complete with its own balcony overlooking the trees. Outdoor living is equally inviting with stone patios designed for gathering and relaxing, all supported by a well mitigated landscape and a smart fire barrier for added peace of mind. A detached workshop with electricity provides excellent space for projects, storage, or gear. With a newer roof, county maintained road paved access that is prioritized for school routes, and a recycled asphalt driveway for ease of maintenance, this property balances comfort, practicality, and the natural beauty that defines mountain living.
