Location & Lifestyle — Why Florissant?
Florissant sits in the heart of the central Colorado mountains, within Teller County, offering breathtaking natural surroundings and easy access to outdoor recreation.
The estate is a short drive from natural gems like Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument — a must‑see for those drawn to unique geology, hiking, and history.
For those wanting balance: the seclusion of a mountain retreat with the convenience of being under an hour from the amenities and airport access of Colorado Springs.
Architectural & Interior Highlights — European Styled Meets Eco‑Smart
This isn’t your typical mountain cabin. The home is built in a French‑Provincial style with dramatic European detailing yet designed from the ground up with green living, efficiency, and sustainability in mind.
Energy-efficient and eco-conscious design: The home was originally built to be off‑grid — now connected but still maintaining Gold LEED certification, with SIP-panel construction, R‑40 insulation, triple-pane argon windows, dual geothermal heating/cooling, and a 25,000‑watt solar system engineered for heavy snow and high winds.
Impressive vertical space: Ceilings range from 10 to 20 feet throughout the home. The living area features soaring 20-foot ceilings, an upper loft, and a double-sided marble fireplace — creating a grand, open feel with dramatic mountain vistas visible through full-height windows.
Luxury finishes throughout: Expect fossilized bamboo flooring, travertine tile, a grand 12-foot arched custom wood and wrought-iron front door, coffered ceilings, wood columns, and elegant wrought-iron staircases. The chef’s kitchen includes custom cabinetry, solid-surface recycled countertops, Thermador 6-burner glass induction cooktop, and built-in wine and plate racks — perfect for gourmet cooking or entertaining.
Owner’s suite sanctuary: The main-level owner’s suite impresses with a coffered ceiling, stone fireplace, spa-style bath complete with hammered-copper soaking tub, dual vanities, rain-shower with massage sprayers, and dual walk-in closets — a private retreat after a day exploring the mountains.
Flexible living and expansion potential: Beyond the main spaces, the home includes a library with a stone fireplace, a mudroom/office nook, a powder room with custom 3-D mural, and an unfinished walkout lower level with bath stubbed — offering opportunity to finish for extra living space or entertainment. A separate 750 sq ft detached storage building rounds out the practical amenities.
Land, Views & Outdoor Potential — Privacy and Nature Combined
Set on 35.19 acres of high-elevation Colorado terrain, this estate delivers privacy, panoramic mountain views (including vistas of Pikes Peak), and a natural setting alive with wildlife — a dream for anyone who loves the outdoors.
With easy year-round access, the property offers the rare convenience of seclusion without sacrificing accessibility. It’s close enough for daily convenience, yet remote enough to feel like your own private mountain retreat.
