This is the quintessential Colorado mountain home you’ve been looking for! Built in 2005, this is truly a mountain gem! Very clean and well-maintained home in a wonderful mountain community. A paradise for those looking for great outdoor recreation but still close to the metro area. Enjoy the regular wildlife sightings of moose, deer and turkey from the comfort of your newer deck (less than 2 years old), or through the windows of the loft or the updated sunroom. The loft has beautiful natural wood railings and ladder. The kitchen was also very recently updated. The property includes a fenced dog run and the garage has an electric vehicle plug already installed. Just minutes from the Gilpin County school complex, recreation center (Pool, gym, Fairgrounds), & library. The Dory Lakes neighborhood is bordered to the west by National Forest with off-road trails and bordered to the east by Golden Gate Canyon State Park with great hiking and fishing. There is also a private neighborhood fishing lake as well as a park with baseball, basketball and a community grill. You're less than 15 minutes from the Black Hawk & Central City casinos, restaurants and spas and only 35 minutes from the Eldora ski Area. High speed internet is ready and waiting if you work from home. As an added bonus, Dory Lakes is in a 2.9% sales tax area. Big ticket purchases like cars only pay that 2.9% sales tax rate. Don't miss this opportunity to live in Colorado's beautiful mountains while having access to everything Denver and the Front Range have to offer!
