Welcome to Frank's brand-new, handmade home tucked into a mountainside in the Roosevelt National Forest 10 miles west of Boulder, Colorado at an elevation of 7800 feet above sea level. Expansive views of Dream Canyon climbing cliffs above Boulder Creek to the south and the Continental Divide to the west grace this home with natural beauty. The space Frank's one level south-facing passive solar home has flagstone floors throughout to store the heat while the welded bridgework trusses support a galvanized metal ceiling, which in turn supports a living roof. The wood interior trim, cabinetry and arched doors took Frank a year to complete, making the house a visual treat. This 1700 sq. foot home offers 2 master bedrooms with walk-in closets and full bathrooms, and a great room encompassing kitchen and living area with central wood stove, a pantry and utility room with laundry facilities. Outside the house there is a dramatic 360 degree panoramic view of mountains and sky, sunrise, sunset and the whole Milky Way.

Other things to note Weather is a big deal up here on Sugarloaf; expect it to be 10 degrees cooler than in Boulder.
