Description

A meaningful price improvement on this extraordinary, one-of-a-kind riverfront home, a meticulously refurbished historic hydroelectric plant reimagined into a striking private residence where history and modern luxury converge. Set on 3 acres between the gently cascading Fall River and the Arapaho National Forest, the setting is both serene and inspiring. Once inside the home is even more jaw dropping than the outside: a custom chef’s kitchen anchors the open living space with a dramatic 12-foot...A meaningful price improvement on this extraordinary, one-of-a-kind riverfront home, a meticulously refurbished historic hydroelectric plant reimagined into a striking private residence where history and modern luxury converge. Set on 3 acres between the gently cascading Fall River and the Arapaho National Forest, the setting is both serene and inspiring. Once inside the home is even more jaw dropping than the outside: a custom chef’s kitchen anchors the open living space with a dramatic 12-foot Italian granite island, Wolf range, double ovens, Sub-Zero refrigeration, copper prep sinks, coffee nook, walk-in pantry, and bespoke cabinetry. Acid-stained concrete floors, radiant heat, 18-inch walls, and a Russian stone fireplace with bread oven create warmth, efficiency, and unforgettable character. Tall barn doors open to an expansive patio with propane grill line and hot tub, while the fenced yard, covered dog run, greenhouse, fairy garden, picnic areas, and storage spaces extend the lifestyle outdoors. A heated detached studio offers creative flexibility or potential garage conversion. The primary suite features programmable skylights and an adjoining bonus room ideal for an office, den, or fitness space. Whole-house generator included. Beyond the gates, Idaho Springs is stepping confidently into its next chapter with a gondola to a mountaintop music venue, revitalized motels, luxury condos at the former ARCO mine, and a growing mix of restaurants, galleries, breweries, and cafés. Walk to downtown shops, dining, festivals, and events, or soak in nearby mineral hot springs just minutes away. Ideally positioned under 3 miles from I-70 and halfway between Denver and Vail with easy access to Loveland, Winter Park, A-Basin, and Copper. At ~7,500 ft elevation, enjoy sunshine, alpine air, and less snow removal. A rare lifestyle opportunity, investment hold, or legacy retreat in a town being rediscovered.
