22184 Forest Hills Dr, Golden, CO, 80401

Set within a gated enclave, this exceptional residence offers a rare balance of privacy, refinement and connection to Colorado's natural beauty - all just 20 minutes from downtown Denver, 25 minutes from Cherry Creek, 10 minutes from downtown Golden and within an hour of Summit County's world-class mountain destinations. Completely redesigned and reimagined by the current owners in collaboration with an award-winning interior designer, the home has undergone more than $500,000 in thoughtful enhancements over the past five years. Extensive improvements include expansive new decking, curated landscaping and custom garage storage systems, each selected to elevate the experience of daily living. The main level unfolds with artisan-crafted millwork, including intricate moldings, custom window detailing, sophisticated ceiling treatments and thoughtfully integrated built-ins. Designer-curated finishes enrich every space, from the kitchen and great room to the office, primary suite and upper-level bath, while antique selections and custom floor treatments add depth, texture and intentionality. Backing to privately held, undeveloped land, the property offers an extraordinary sense of privacy and serenity. Expansive windows frame east-facing views of rolling foothills and towering pines, showcasing uninterrupted vistas of the surrounding landscape. Nearly every room is thoughtfully positioned to maintain a constant connection to nature, with frequent sightings of deer, elk and native birds adding to the home's immersive setting. Designed with equal consideration for relaxation and entertaining, the living experience extends seamlessly outdoors. Expansive main and lower-level decks create multiple destinations for gathering or quiet retreat, anchored by a Bullfrog hot tub beneath a canopy of mature pines. Surrounded by crisp mountain air and the stillness of nature, the setting delivers a distinctly Colorado experience - private, peaceful and unforgettable.
