100 Raptor Point Road, Golden, CO 80403

This charming mountain A-frame was thoughtfully expanded in the 1980s to give more generous main-level space for a warm, lodge-like feeling. A circular driveway welcomes you home. The large kitchen offers extra cabinetry for storage and a window over the sink, perfect for bird watching. Metal-clad wood casement windows frame the views throughout. Upstairs you'll find two bedrooms: the primary suite boasts a French door opening onto a private west-facing viewing deck, while the second bedroom features great window placement and dual closets for ample storage. Tongue-and-groove ceilings throughout the upper level add to the home's lodge character. Though the current owner heats almost exclusively with a cozy wood-burning stove, a forced-air propane furnace offers effortless backup heat. The water heater and furnace were replaced in 2019, and the durable metal roof can qualify you for discounted insurance rates. Property line is the boundary between Gilpin and Jefferson County. Enjoy views to the east and true privacy in every direction. Nearly 6 acres gives you the peace and quiet everyone searches for, often 15 degrees cooler than the city below. High-speed Wifi is available through Starlink, and the electric service was upgraded with new "hardened" lines in 2026. Gilpin County offers remarkably low taxes, under $1,000 per year, even with all this land. A domestic well supports both horses and outdoor watering. Abundant wildlife roams the property, including deer, turkey, and even moose, adding to the wild beauty of this highly coveted mountain community, where new construction is fetching millions. The property sits near Golden Gate Canyon State Park, with miles of hiking, biking, and horseback trails just beyond your door, plus plenty of your own backyard terrain to explore. And despite the seclusion, you're just 20 minutes from everywhere — Black Hawk, Idaho Springs, Golden, and Evergreen offer dining, shopping, and casinos. Welcome to the Colorado wilderness.
