Fifteen minutes south of Golden, this farmhouse-style home sits on 13 private acres of forested hillside, with wide Rocky Mountain views and real distance between neighbours — space and quiet, without giving up an easy drive into town. The home blends classic country character with upgrades that actually matter here — triple-pane windows throughout for better comfort, efficiency, and sound reduction. The wraparound covered porch is where the property earns its keep: morning coffee with the mountains in front of you, evening light, wildlife moving through at their own pace. Windows throughout keep the forest and mountain backdrop part of the room, not just the view outside it — a connection to the outdoors that holds in every season. The 13 acres carry the same balance of open ground and tree cover, with room for gardens, trails, outdoor recreation, or whatever comes next. A pole barn and an older storage shed take care of equipment, toys, and hobby space. Whether you're looking for a full-time rural home, a mountain retreat, or acreage that still keeps Golden close, this property offers privacy, views, and flexibility.
