About This Property

Some of the best views in the mid-valley unfold from nearly every room of this custom home with private office. Set above the Roaring Fork River with exceptional all-day southern exposure, the home looks across the pastoral landscape of Emma toward Mt. Sopris and Capitol Peak--a remarkable combination of mountain, river and open-valley views. Designed to take full advantage of its setting, the open and airy three-story floor plan is filled with natural light from multiple exposures. The main level features a dramatic two-story living room anchored by a double-sided gas fireplace, dining area, spacious modern kitchen with casual seating, and a private corner office. Tall French doors open to an expansive composite deck and private patio, extending the living spaces outdoors and creating an ideal place to enjoy the views throughout the day. The top floor is devoted to the private primary suite with two walk-in closets. Downstairs, a guest bedroom and spacious non-conforming third bedroom share a generous common living area with walk-out French doors--an ideal setup for putting all the kids downstairs, accommodating extended family, or simply creating a separate guest level. Recent improvements include updated kitchen appliances and fixtures, new lower-level flooring, oversized washer and dryer, and reinforced composite decking with power and shutoff for a hot tub and a permanent gas connection for grilling. Surrounded by mature aspens, perennial gardens and flowering landscaping, the property feels remarkably private while occupying one of the most convenient locations in the mid-valley. Hillcrest Drive sits almost perfectly between Old Town Basalt and Willits, with Whole Foods, restaurants, TACAW and everyday amenities just minutes away, along with convenient access to the Rio Grande Trail. An HOA-permitted ADU above the two-car garage provides additional future potential. A distinctive Basalt home offering extraordinary views, abundant light, privacy and a location that makes getting almost anywhere in the mid-valley remarkably easy.
