Own your own mountain. Rising above the foothills of Conifer and crowned by the dramatic cliffside of Riley Peak, this remarkable 225-acre estate is one of the most significant private land offerings available within 30 miles of Denver. It is a property that defies comparison—where complete seclusion, unspoiled Rocky Mountain wilderness, and luxurious year-round accessibility converge into a rare opportunity to create a true Colorado legacy.

From the moment you turn onto the paved 1.2-mile private driveway, the experience feels transformative. Towering evergreens line the approach as the road winds upward to a stately gated entrance, while a second private gate secures the residence itself. Few mountain properties offer such effortless access in every season, let alone this level of privacy and security so close to the city. Here, silence stretches across miles of forest, broken only by wind brushing the treetops and the distant bugle of elk.

At the heart of the estate sits a 7,700± sq ft brick-built mountain residence, designed for longevity, low maintenance, and year-round comfort in the Colorado climate. The home’s architecture embraces light and landscape, with vaulted ceilings, custom timber trusses, and walls of windows that open to sweeping ridgelines and dramatic sunsets. A grand floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace anchors the great room, while a glass-wrapped sunroom blurs the line between indoors and out.

The gourmet kitchen serves as the home’s gathering place, offering premium appliances, generous workspace, and a large granite island that encourages connection. The primary suite is a retreat of rare scale and serenity, featuring a double-sided fireplace that opens to a showstopping ensuite bath with a freestanding tub and wide-open mountain views—a true spa sanctuary. The expansive lower level is ideal for multi-generational living or long-term guests, offering a stone fireplace, recreation room, game area, bedrooms, and a theater room for nights in.

Beyond the home, the land reveals itself as a destination of its own. Miles of private trails weave through aspen groves, meadows, dense forests, and dramatic rock outcroppings, offering endless opportunities for adventure—UTV exploration, hiking, photography, wildlife watching, or simply time spent in nature. Abundant wildlife, including elk herds, deer, and the occasional moose, roam freely across the acreage, giving the property an unmatched sense of wilderness and sanctuary.

A 3,200± sq ft shop stands ready for equipment, vehicles, hobbies, or a collection, while a second pole barn adds storage flexibility. With multiple buildable sites across the acreage—and no HOA or covenants to restrict your vision—the property offers limitless potential for expansion, legacy planning, ranching, or simply enjoying the land exactly as it is.

Whether imagined as a family compound, a private mountain retreat, an adventure property, or a long-term generational estate, Riley Peak Ranch presents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity: the freedom to own and shape an entire mountain landscape, with the convenience of being just minutes from Hwy 285 and close to local dining, shopping, and all the amenities of the Denver Metro area.

This is Colorado as few ever experience it—raw, beautiful, powerful, and completely your own.
