Come & find your bliss at the base of Mount Bailey! Welcome to this charming mountain contemporary home situated at the bottom of the iconic mountain with access to the Private Mount Bailey Hiking Trail from your own backyard!

The paved neighborhood road continues to the base of the private driveway. A gentle ascent brings you to the stately home, centrally situated on the 1.12-acre lot with a convenient, circular drive. Aspens & evergreens abound affording privacy without blocking magnificent mountain views.

The exterior is dressed to impress with a tough metal roof with heated coils on the North side to prevent ice damming, plus updated exterior lighting. The 50-year roof is made of stone-coated, acrylic steel shingles which are Grade A, Class 4, hail-resistant & non-combustible. Both the front & rear entrances are raised to maximize views & feature 463 Sq Ft of sturdy, durable decks made of composite material for long life & low maintenance.

Step inside the open main floor onto gleaming hardwood floors in the vaulted great room. Curl up in front of the wood-burning stove set in the moss-rock fireplace. The home has both natural gas & electric baseboard heating, but the owners only use the more efficient, gas heaters to keep it cozy. It also boasts an energy-efficient, tankless hot water heater!

Updated paint ensures spaces seamless flow into each other. The living room is open to the eat-in kitchen, which features Corian counters atop abundant hardwood cabinetry. The convenient island is ideal for grabbing a bite or putting out a large spread for family & friends. New light fixtures, cabinet hardware & faucet add a custom, high-end touch.

There are two sizeable bedrooms with upgraded carpet on the main floor, with the primary bedroom adjacent to the dual-entry full bath for an elegant, en suite option. Fresh new light fixtures both inside & out highlight the home’s contemporary mountain flair.

Downstairs on more updated carpeting at the ground level is a family room with walkout access to a small, private concrete patio for tucking yourself away & plenty of space for a home office to telecommute. Fiber Optic Cables are being laid in the neighborhood – the digging has begun! In the interim, Century Link DSL, Starlink or Viasat Satellite offer fast, reliable wifi. Curl up to watch movies or the big game by the rustic gas stove. Television connections are via DISH Network or DirecTV, but soon the fiber optic cables currently being installed will make streaming services a sure thing! No A/C? No problem! Bailey averages about 10 degrees below city temps with mountain breezes & ceiling fans to keep it cool & comfortable.

Imagine having backdoor access to a private hiking trail up Mt Bailey - WOW! The official trailhead begins at the nearby Park, but you need only go beyond your own property line. Only residents of Burland Ranchettes & their guests may hike this private trail. No crowds! No parking hassles! This intermediate-level trail is .87 miles in length & goes from an elevation of 8,681 ft to 9,063 feet.
