Description
Legacy, Location, Land, Luxury, and Lifestyle encompasses the Spicerrosa Electra Estate. Perched high above Electra Lake on a dramatic and completely private alpine bluff, this Estate represents one of the most extraordinary legacy mountain properties in Southwest Colorado. Set on 9.29 secluded acres with direct access into San Juan National Forest and located within coveted Colorado Game Management Unit 74, this estate lives infinitely larger than its acreage, offering an unmatched gateway to hundreds of thousands of acres of protected wilderness, recreation, and big-game habitat. From nearly every room and outdoor living space, the estate captures commanding panoramic views stretching across Electra Lake and the iconic peaks of the San Juan Mountains. The setting is exceptionally rare private, protected, and impossible to replicate creating a true sense of being immersed in the mountains while remaining conveniently close to both Purgatory Resort and The Glacier Club. Originally crafted as a multigenerational retreat, the 10,226-square-foot residence blends timeless mountain architecture with elevated comfort and thoughtful modern improvements. Handcrafted log accents, natural stone, soaring vaulted ceilings, and expansive walls of glass frame the surrounding alpine landscape and fill the home with warmth and natural light. Designed for gathering and entertaining on a grand scale, the residence features multiple living areas, expansive dining and entertaining spaces, a beautifully updated chef’s kitchen, media and recreation rooms, elevator access, dual primary suites, in-floor heat, sauna and steam amenities, and seamless indoor-outdoor living throughout. Accommodations include 7 bedrooms and 8 baths, along with separate guest quarters ideal for extended family, caretakers, or visiting guests. An attached 3-car garage plus an additional detached 4-car garage with bunk accommodations provide exceptional flexibility for vehicles, recreational equipment, and mountain lifestyle storage. Outdoor living is equally compelling, with expansive decks suspended above the lake and mountain landscape, a bluff side hot tub and fire pit, and direct access into one of Colorado’s most sought-after wilderness regions for hiking, horseback riding, skiing, snowmobiling, fishing, hunting, and year-round adventure. Rarely does a property combine this level of privacy, accessibility, protected scenery, recreational access, and architectural presence. More than a home, Spicerrosa Electra Estate is a true legacy estate in the heart of the San Juan Mountains.
