Welcome to an extraordinary 411-acre sanctuary in Cotopaxi, Colorado—set amidst sweeping, unobstructed views and surrounded by the majestic Sangre de Cristo Mountains. Conceived, designed, and built as the personal residence of a renowned architect, this one-of-a-kind estate is a masterwork of intentional living, where refined design, self-sufficiency, and natural beauty converge. The 3,210-square-foot main residence showcases exceptional craftsmanship, offering 3 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, radiant in-floor heating, and two fireplaces convertible between gas and wood. Hand-laid New Mexico sandstone and artisan plaster walls create a timeless elegance that blends seamlessly with the landscape, while the chef’s kitchen features a Viking range, Sub-Zero refrigeration, granite countertops, custom cabinetry, and a built-in Kohler steamer pot-filler—ideal for both entertaining and everyday luxury. Designed for independence, the estate is powered by solar and wind energy with a backup generator. A separate 1,800-square-foot casita with 3 bedrooms and 1 bath provides a private retreat for guests or caretakers. The land itself is a living extension of the home, with a heated subterranean greenhouse for year-round cultivation, outdoor gardens, and a thriving pine nursery, while meadows and forested hills offer abundant wildlife and ever-changing vistas. A European-style labyrinth and meditation chapel create space for reflection, and the observatory offers exceptional stargazing within a designated Dark Skies community. Additional amenities include a finished, heated workshop and garage for multiple vehicles, along with a private well and septic system. Protected by a conservation trust and bordered by public lands, this estate ensures lasting privacy and a deep connection to the land—an extraordinary opportunity for a legacy property, private retreat, or wellness destination, and a true living work of art. Come for the mountains. Stay for the stars. Live in wonder.
