The history of how 2013 Swede Gulch came to be is not one you hear every day. According to the story passed down over the years, the most desirable building site in the valley was won in a poker game. The property sits on a gentle saddle amidst a beautifully maintained pine forest and gently sloping meadows with natural rock outcroppings, in a gated neighborhood 5 minutes from I-70 in North Evergreen. This is the best of both worlds: only minutes from shopping with easy commutes to the mountains or the city, yet still offers complete privacy. There is 6.25 acres of usable land (zoned A-2 so bring your horses), and you cannot see any other homes from this site. In this serene setting, you can watch elk graze from the wrap-around decks or wander along private hiking trails throughout the property. All of the land has recently been completely fire mitigated including thinning and limbing, restoring the land to park-like beauty. The main level of this home is so light and bright, don’t be surprised if you don’t need a single light on during the day. The new fireplace is the heart of this home and sure to be a welcome spot to gather and tell stories around. The remodeled kitchen is nearby with granite countertops and alder cabinetry. Just up the stairs is the master and another bedroom. The master bedroom is so large, we can’t help but wonder if it was two bedrooms at one point. The master has a large walk-in closet, beautifully remodeled bathroom with a soaking tub and walk-in shower. On the lower level of this home, the history continues with an
original wood stove that came from the Ralston Ranch, a bonus room, another bedroom, and a bathroom. This house is perfect to move into as is, especially with all of the recent upgrades. The property comes with engineered plans for a 1500 square foot addition, and the acreage provides ample space for all of your projects and toys. Come enjoy your dream of ultimate privacy, within 5 minutes of I-70 and local amenities.
