Unique in it's own right compared to the current portfolio (see coloradoprospectorhomes.com), the 'Jefferson', is an ultra modern, gold-mining-era inspired perennial retreat, featuring an impressive display of custom glass windows and doors that frame spectacular mountain vistas. A masterfully engineered and cantilevered upper level, a parapet roof, and a contrasting tongue and groove cedar facia, participate in one's perception that the upper level floats. The Jefferson is equipped with a state of the art, grid-independant power source by way of a 7kW solar PV array, 16kW lithium ferrous phosphate battery storage, and a 15kW Generac Ecogen generator. Included is a sister structure; one of Colorado's best preserved, historic gold mining shaft houses. The long dormant, rare gold mining equipment remain intact. This building would make a great museum, home distillery, art studio, etc. Additional features include efficient radiant heat technology, artisan set custom tile work, a startling kitchen, waterfall quartz countertops, an artfully placed wood burning stove, and an ecologically designed sanitation system. Water purification, undercounter RO, propane tank and solar array are owned, not leased. This 3 bedroom, 3.5 bath, architecturally significant home features 2 flex spaces for use as an office, shop, gym, yoga studio, or vehicle storage. Alps Hill is secluded, tranquil and an extraordinary fit for those seeking a more contemplative, independant and environmentally symbiotic lifestyle. These south facing VIEW properties are becoming unobtainable. The Jefferson is minutes to Idaho Springs, Central City, Black Hawk, and about half way between Denver and Summit County. DIA is close enough. Convenient road access. Internet and cellular signals are strong. Energy efficiency prevails. A testiment to upping the anty on our signature product. Tax amount is a placeholder since property has not yet been assessed. Home is under construction. Listing agent is also Builder.
