ABOUT ELK SPRINGS
Elk Springs offers a rare opportunity to live in harmony with Colorado's natural beauty—where homes blend seamlessly into the pinion- and juniper-covered slopes, rolling grasslands, and wide-open mountain vistas. This private, gated community was thoughtfully designed to preserve the land's inherent serenity, protecting old-growth forests and allowing wildlife to roam freely across hundreds of acres of forever-protected open space.
Framed by breathtaking views of Mt. Sopris and the surrounding ranges, this contemporary residence embodies the essence of Elk Springs living. Large windows in the living room and primary suite capture the grandeur of the landscape, filling the home with light and connection to the outdoors.
The two-level, above-grade floor plan includes five bedrooms and four-and-a-half baths. The main level features the primary suite, a spacious living room with fireplace, a well-appointed kitchen with a private dining area, and a quiet office or library. The walkout level hosts four guest bedrooms, a media room, and a generous exercise room with a full shower—perfect for entertaining or multi-generational living.
Set on over two beautifully landscaped acres, the property showcases lush gardens, meandering paths, tranquil water features, and inviting spaces for reading, relaxing, or swinging in a hammock beneath the trees. Expansive decks—both covered and open—offer unobstructed views of Mt. Sopris and the surrounding wilderness.
Although close to Carbondale, the home carries a Glenwood Springs address and enjoys the exclusivity of Elk Springs' private gated setting—just minutes from both communities. Residents have the choice of attending either Carbondale or Glenwood Springs schools, adding flexibility for families.
Meticulously maintained and thoughtfully updated in 2022-2024, recent improvements include new flooring, interior paint, refreshed bathrooms, upgraded kitchen appliances, new pantry cabinetry, a redesigned kitchen bar, new carpet, and a freshly painted exterior. Additional enhancements include a re-asphalted driveway, new upper-level air conditioning (2023), and a radon mitigation system (2024).
The home is offered furnished or unfurnished, to suit buyer preference, excluding artwork. A spacious three-car garage and abundant storage complete this turn-key mountain retreat.
