3965 Douglas Mountain Drive, Golden, CO, 80403
About This Home
Set behind a private gate on over 50 acres, this exceptional Colorado mountain estate offers seclusion, acreage and elevated living just outside Golden. Designed by acclaimed architect Sears Barrett and built in 2009, the home is positioned to capture sweeping views of meadows, open skies, and snow-capped peaks through floor-to-ceiling windows that blur the line between indoors and out. The light-filled, open-concept layout features soaring ceilings, mahogany hardwood floors with radiant heat, 8-foot interior doors and refined finishes throughout. The living area flows into a gourmet kitchen with high-end stainless steel appliances, quartzite countertops, abundant cabinetry, and access to dining spaces and outdoor patios, ideal for entertaining and everyday living. The main-level primary suite is a private retreat with a fireplace, dual walk-in closets and a spa-inspired five-piece bath with jetted soaking tub and oversized shower. Upstairs, three guest bedrooms provide comfort and privacy. A finished ADU above the 3-car garage includes a full kitchen, bathroom, and flexible living space ideal for guests, extended family, or a creative studio. Outside, enjoy private trails, abundant wildlife, open skies, and total tranquility. Horse-friendly and zoned under the Colorado State Forestry Service agricultural program, the property offers valuable tax and utility benefits. The land is off-grid capable with solar, wind, propane, a private well, and full wiring for security, internet, and whole-home audio. Zoned for subdivision, the acreage offers potential for investment, development, or multigenerational living. Despite its privacy, the property is just 20 minutes from Downtown Golden and approximately 45 minutes from Denver, Boulder, and world-class skiing, with rare back-road access to I-70 via Idaho Springs to bypass Floyd Hill traffic. A rare blend of privacy, architectural pedigree, sustainable infrastructure, and proximity that is nearly impossible to replicate.
