Perched in the heart of Singleton Estates, this charming five-year-old home looks out toward Shawnee Peak and the historic community of Shawnee. Originally platted in 1900 as a summer retreat and resort destination, Shawnee still holds the character of a bygone era with its turn-of-the-century Victorian homes and rustic cabins. Living here means becoming part of a story that began more than a century ago, when the Denver, South Park & Pacific Railroad drew travelers to Platte Canyon as a refreshing escape from city life - the same goal of many in our current day and age. The home itself is filled with vaulted ceilings, beautiful woodwork, light from South and East exposure and mountain views from nearly every window, offering a thoughtful modern layout with plenty of room to expand. An unfinished basement offers a nice surprise with picturesque windows, 9ft ceilings, and a stubbed-in bathroom provides endless possibilities for creating dual living spaces, guest quarters, or additional bedrooms. This neighborhood has quickly become a favorite for short-term rental guests, as you drive in over the North Fork of the South Platte, aspen-lined dirt lanes, and the backdrop of Pike National Forest, Singleton Estates is one of a kind. A thriving Airbnb next door shows the demand, making this property not only a peaceful retreat but also a smart investment. Life here is defined by simplicity and beauty. Trails like Ben Tyler Trailhead, Lost Creek Wilderness, Guanella Pass and the Mount Evans Wilderness right around the corner, world-class fly-fishing, and historic charm surround you, while the modern comforts of a newer build give you the best of both worlds. Whether you’re envisioning a primary residence, weekend getaway, or income-producing rental, this property offers a rare opportunity to experience mountain living with a touch of history and a whole lot of wildlife neighbors.
