Mountain Living Paradise in the Animas Valley. Nestled in the stunning Animas Valley, this luxury custom home sits on 35 private acres in the exclusive Lost Boys subdivision. Located in the coveted Gold Coast of County Road 250, the property offers breathtaking views of Engineer Mountain to the north and the Animas River Valley to the south. The drive home winds along one of the area’s most scenic roads, leading to a paved driveway framed by towering ponderosa pines. Thoughtfully designed to maximize its surroundings, this meticulously maintained 2011-built home is a true retreat. Inside, expansive windows frame awe-inspiring mountain views. Vaulted cathedral ceilings, a grand stacked-stone fireplace, and exposed wood beams create a warm yet refined ambiance. High-end finishes include hardwood floors, slate tile, travertine, and granite, adding timeless elegance throughout. The gourmet kitchen is both functional and beautiful, featuring two spacious islands—one centered around a Jenn-Air professional range with built-in storage, and the other with a prep sink, a filtered water spout, a small beverage fridge, and high-top seating. Custom cabinetry provides ample storage, seamlessly integrating the cabinet-faced Jenn-Air refrigerator. Electrolux double ovens enhance convenience for entertaining, while a large walk-in pantry offers additional storage. A double-sided stone fireplace separates the sitting and dining areas, both designed to capture breathtaking views. The primary suite is a peaceful retreat, featuring a tray tongue-and-groove ceiling, abundant natural light, and private patio access. The spa-like ensuite bath offers a hammered copper soaking tub perfectly positioned to take in the tranquil scenery, a travertine walk-in shower, dual sinks, a towel warmer, and a private water closet. The walk-in closet includes built-in organizers and an island for extra storage. Two additional ensuite bedrooms feature large walk-in closets, with the second bedroom offering outdoor access. The second ensuite bath includes a walk-in shower with a bench and a heated towel rack. All ensuite baths have separate filtered water spouts. A dedicated home office provides built-in desk space and storage. Upstairs, a bonus room leads to a fourth bedroom, currently used as a flex space, with a walk-in closet and an additional full bath. A large picture window overlooks the Animas Valley, where sunlight reflects off the river in a golden glow at certain times of the day.

A large covered back patio provides a peaceful setting to enjoy soaring red-tailed hawks and the rustling of pines and aspens. A rock-framed fire pit invites cozy gatherings under the stars. A newly added covered and fenced area east of the garage provides a secure space for pets, with easily removable fencing. A Generac Guardian 24kW generator offers peace of mind, and a patio hose bib provides hot and cold water access.
