About this property

Stunning Home! Rare Views & Ultimate Privacy – Perfect Location Bordering RMNP!

Experience the breathtaking beauty of the Rocky Mountains at Estes Peak Retreat, a stunning custom home nestled on 31 private acres bordering Rocky Mountain National Park. Just over two miles from the park entrance and a quick six-minute drive to downtown Estes Park, this one-of-a-kind escape offers both seclusion and convenience. Plus, thanks to its unique location, the property enjoys an INCREDIBLY LOW TAX RATE—just 3.7% compared to the typical 14.2%! (registration # 6172, Larimer county Approval Number: 20-NCD0254)

Step onto the expansive 1,000 sq. ft. Brazilian redwood porch, where you can unwind by the fireplace, soak in the hot tub, or dine under the stars—all while taking in awe-inspiring mountain views and frequent visits from local wildlife. Inside, the home exudes warmth and luxury with custom alder wood trim and cabinetry—the same durable wood used in Venice’s historic pilings and Fender guitars. With three spacious king bedrooms, multiple inviting living areas, and both indoor and outdoor fireplaces, this retreat is designed for unforgettable mountain getaways.

House features:

The deluxe kitchen at Estes Peak Retreat is a chef’s dream, featuring spacious granite countertops, a luxurious island, and a high-end gas stove. Fully equipped with top-tier cookware and a selection of spices, it has everything needed to create gourmet meals. The adjoining dining area boasts an extended table, perfect for family reunions or lively gatherings with friends—all set against the stunning backdrop of the Rocky Mountains.

Estes Peak Retreat offers three spacious king bedrooms and 3 ½ baths, ensuring comfort for every guest. An additional trundle bed in the lower-level open area and a twin bed in one of the king bedrooms provide extra sleeping space. Expansive floor-to-ceiling windows frame breathtaking mountain views, with two bedrooms offering especially stunning panoramas. For added convenience, a washer and dryer are available for guest use.

With three inviting sitting areas, there’s space for everyone—each bedroom has i't own private area nearby for entertainment and relaxation. Enjoy Dish TV in the upper and lower living areas, as well as in the master bedroom, along with WiFi and an outdoor grill for added convenience. After a day of snowshoeing, hiking, or skiing, unwind by the indoor or outdoor fireplace or soak in the hot tub under the mountain sky. Snowshoes are provided for winter adventurers!

The half-mile mountain driveway ensures ultimate privacy, keeping curious onlookers at bay and allowing guests to fully relax in seclusion. While the driveway is easily navigable in the summer—even in a Prius—its three sharp turns make it less suitable for large RVs. In snowy conditions, four-wheel drive, all-wheel drive, or snow tires are required for safe access. For added convenience, an electric vehicle outlet is available in the garage..

From June to early September, we prioritize full-week Saturday-to-Saturday bookings. As these months approach, we may offer shorter stays if availability allows. During other times of the year, the minimum stay ranges from 2 to 4 nights. If you spot an opening on the calendar that you’re unable to book, please reach out—we’d love to accommodate you and share the beauty of Estes Peak Retreat!

A friendly recommendation: We strongly suggest purchasing rental insurance for any vacation in Colorado. While the experience here is truly unforgettable, and our guests have marveled at the breathtaking beauty right from our home, unpredictable events—from snowstorms and wildfires to illness or travel disruptions—can arise. We want you to book with confidence, knowing your getaway is protected no matter what.

For the safety and security of both our property and guests, the basement door is equipped with a NEST door lock and doorbell.

About the host

Hosted by Heidi Shepard

Host profile image
We love traveling as well as the outdoors. After living for several years overseas, we moved to Denver. Our wedding photographer son (instagram: nateshepardphoto) initially drew us into Estes with his remarkable photos of RMNP. We started hiking there and were in love with both the park and the town.

Why they chose this property

From all of our travels, one of our favorite places in the world is RMNP. Having decided to retire in Estes Park one day, we started hunting for the "perfect" property, and found it with Estes Peak Retreat. We hope you will enjoy it as much as we do.

What makes this property unique

We loved this property as it's so close to the entrance of the park and we can avoid the downtown traffic. We also just cherish the solitude and spectacular views that this setting provides. Finally, the home is a work of art. We're always impressed by the thought and tremendous care which went into the design and building of this home. We have hand-picked items from our travels around the world to add to this beautiful space.
