A rare private sanctuary
Welcome to 1200 Ponderosa Hill Road. Just minutes from downtown Lyons, this retreat blends the comforts of a spacious updated home with wide-open space, rare detached private guest space and 40 beautiful acres.
Step into a life shaped by the land—views of elk trails, the solitude and your own private hiking trail.
Chef's Delight.
Come for the views, stay for the layout.
This is where wild elk sightings meet wild mushroom risotto—crafted in a chef’s kitchen made for real cooking, not just looking. Think stone-wrapped hood, quartz counters, and a giant prep island that doubles as the party’s nerve center.
Right off the dining room? A wraparound deck with a full outdoor kitchen and front-row seats to the meadow show. Coffee at sunrise. Aperol at dusk. No RSVP required.
Room with a View.
Every angle frames nature. The living and dining rooms are wrapped in glass, with oversized bay windows that pull the land right into the home. Trees, meadow, sky . . . it’s all part of the palette.
Gather here for slow dinners, weekend fireside hangs, or quiet mornings with nothing but birdsong and coffee. The open floor plan flows easily, but it’s the view that stops you. Every time.
The bedrooms here aren’t trying too hard . . . and that’s the point. Natural light, privacy, and just enough separation to make mornings quiet and evenings easy.
The primary suite gets the views and the upgrade: dual rain showers, custom built-ins, and windows that frame rolling hills instead of neighbors. Four more bedrooms give you options . . . family, guests, office, art room. . . you decide.
Where the Day Ends
An Underrated Bonus
Just beyond the main garage, a hidden wing of finished space invites possibility. With a cozy media room, guest suite, and office nook, this lower level offers a separate hangout zone that’s equal parts quiet retreat and functional overflow.
Prefer to rethink the footprint? With two other garages on-site, this attached bay could easily be transformed—think glass garage door, polished floors, and a ping-pong table under string lights. Rec room, art studio, garden gym... or just remove the doors to create more finished living space.
The bones are here. You get to decide the vibe.

Your Own Private Trailhead
A long paved drive leads you through the gate and into a world that feels completely your own. Here, forty acres of native meadow, wildflowers, and whispering trees give you space to roam—and room to breathe deep. A private trail winds through the land, leading to a lookout with peekaboo views of Longs Peak, but even a walk down the driveway feels like a nature hike.
Elk pass through. Songbirds wake you up. Silence is the default setting.
Built for the Wild
This isn’t just land—it’s a living landscape. A seasonal stream carves through the acreage, drawing elk herds and keeping wildflowers in bloom. The home is perfectly placed to take it all in, with expansive decks that wrap the northern meadow and invite you to live outdoors as much as in.
There’s space here—for a hammock between trees, a firepit under the stars, and long evenings that stretch with the light. Grill on the deck, sip something slow, or disappear into your own pocket of quiet. Nature isn’t just nearby. It’s the neighbor.
A Bird's-Eye View
From above, the full story unfolds. This FPV fly-through captures 1200 Ponderosa the way the local hawks and eagles see it—gliding over sunlit meadows, dipping through pine canopy, tracing the curve of the seasonal stream.
It’s a rare chance to see the land not just as it is, but as it could be . . . yours to explore, to shape, to come home to.
Closer Than You Think
From downtown Lyons, the drive home feels more like a scenic detour than a commute. Just 15 minutes from Main Street, the route starts at the Apple Valley Bridge, through the coveted Spring Gulch corridor, over the Little Thompson River, and into a stretch of countryside that feels worlds away.
And that’s the beauty of it. Dinner in town, a summer concert in the park, morning school drop-off . . . they’re all within easy reach.
But when the day winds down, you return to something most people only visit: a private 40-acre retreat, where the loudest thing you’ll hear is birdsong ... or the breeze in the treess.
