About this House

Bentpine Estates offers an exceptional custom 6,000+/- SF mountain home on approximately 19 acres in the heart of Colorado's high country. Ideally located between Hartsel and Buena Vista in Park County, with year-round Hwy 285 access, the property features two adjoining parcels, luxury finishes, and spectacular views of the Collegiate Peaks-making it an ideal full-time residence, mountain retreat, or legacy property.Bentpine Estates is an exceptional Colorado mountain retreat where luxury craftsmanship meets unrivaled access to the outdoors. Situated on approximately 19 pristine acres between Buena Vista and Fairplay, this remarkable estate offers a rare combination of privacy, stunning mountain scenery, direct access to thousands of acres of public land, and a meticulously constructed custom residence that was designed to stand the test of time. The primary 9± acre homesite features the custom residence, detached storage building, and beautifully preserved native landscape, while the adjoining 10± acre parcel remains undeveloped, providing an exceptional privacy buffer with the flexibility for future development, investment, or resale. Each parcel allows for a primary residence and two outbuildings. Towering ponderosa pines, native grasses, and gently rolling terrain surround the home, creating an inviting mountain setting that attracts abundant wildlife throughout the year. Elk, mule deer, pronghorn, moose, black bear, wild turkey, and numerous bird species are frequent visitors, allowing owners to experience Colorado's remarkable wildlife from the comfort of their own property. Thoughtfully oriented to capture breathtaking 360-degree vistas, this home frames Colorado's most iconic landscapes from every angle. The expansive rear deck faces north, with clear views extending to the west side of the Front Range-including Pikes Peak-and the striking peaks of South Park, such as Mount Sherman, Mount Silverheels, and Mount Blue Sky. In the evening, the primary suite and bathroom become a private sanctuary for watching spectacular western sunsets over the Mosquito Range and the majestic Collegiate Peaks, including Mt. Harvard and Mt. Princeton. Completed in 2017 by respected local craftsman Roger VanDeel of VanDeel Homes Inc., the residence represents a level of quality rarely found in today's custom homes. Designed with longevity, efficiency, and mountain living in mind, the home encompasses over 6,000 square feet, including approximately 4,187 square feet of luxurious living space, an oversized heated three-car garage and shop room, expansive deck, and outdoor entertaining areas. The home includes 4 bedrooms (two non-conforming) and 3 bathrooms, plus the great room, kitchen, dining, laundry, pantry, indoor pool room and multiple closets. Every aspect of the home reflects thoughtful planning, uncompromising quality, and a commitment to comfort. Designed over more than a decade and carefully constructed under the daily supervision of its owners, Bentpine Estates offers the rare opportunity to own a true legacy property where no detail was overlooked. The home was engineered well beyond conventional construction standards with 2x6 framing, premium spray foam and batt insulation, insulated foundation walls, a conditioned crawlspace, buried utilities, and a highly efficient mechanical system designed to provide exceptional comfort in every season. Throughout the residence, custom craftsmanship is immediately evident. A dramatic great room welcomes guests beneath soaring 16-foot aspen tongue-and-groove ceilings, while expansive windows frame the surrounding mountains and fill the home with natural light. Ten-foot ceilings throughout the remainder of the residence, extensive crown moulding, custom millwork, decorative ceiling details, and porcelain wood-look tile flooring create a timeless mountain elegance. The gourmet kitchen was thoughtfully designed for both everyday living and entertaining, featuring custom cabinetry with soft-close doors and drawers, granite countertops, glass display cabinets, under-cabinet lighting, oversized storage solutions, a spacious walk-in pantry, and a full suite of GE appliances. The luxurious primary suite offers a peaceful retreat complete with a propane fireplace, spa-inspired bath featuring a Jacuzzi soaking tub, custom ADA-accessible shower, and sweeping views of the Collegiate Peaks and Mosquito Ranges. Perhaps the home's most distinctive feature is its private indoor Endless Pool room. Designed for year-round exercise and recreation, the space includes a variable-speed swim current, integrated humidity control system, secure safety cover, and a newly installed pool liner, motor, hydraulic lines and fluid, safety step pad and dedicated boiler completed in 2026. Comfort throughout the home is provided by a custom-engineered multi-zone radiant in-floor heating system that evenly distributes warmth beneath every room. Supplemental heat is provided by a high-efficiency Xtrordinair wood-burning fireplace capable of heating both the residence and garage, while built-in steam humidifiers and a sophisticated ventilation system ensure exceptional indoor air quality year-round. The home's infrastructure reflects the same commitment to quality, including a privately owned 1,000-gallon buried propane tank, engineered septic system, and advanced water treatment system including private water well with three 200 gallon cisterns, pressure boosting system, whole-house water filtration, water softener, reverse osmosis drinking water system. The attached oversized three-car garage is fully finished and heated with extensive built-in cabinetry, workshop space, and abundant lighting. Above the garage, a finished storage loft provides generous space for seasonal equipment and long-term storage. Additional improvements include a detached storage shed situated on a concrete slab, a professionally constructed enclosed bear-proof dog run with electronic pet access, and a comprehensive security system featuring hardwired and cellular monitoring, 360-degree night vision cameras, motion detection, fire monitoring, and child safety protection for the indoor pool. Bentpine Estates is far more than a beautiful mountain home-it is a thoughtfully engineered legacy estate designed for generations of enjoyment. Combining exceptional craftsmanship, remarkable privacy, direct access to Colorado's public lands, and an unparalleled recreational lifestyle, this is a property that seldom becomes available and is truly without equal in the region. Bordering BLM and National Forest lands with access to the Buffalo Peaks Wilderness Area and San Isabel Forest, the property serves as an ideal basecamp for hiking, horseback riding, hunting, fishing, snowmobiling, ATV adventures, and exploring the endless backcountry of the central Rockies. Yet despite its secluded setting, Bentpine Estates enjoys convenient year-round access from Highway 285 and Highway 24 and is within easy reach of Buena Vista, Breckenridge, Monarch Mountain, and some of Colorado's most sought-after recreational destinations. Golf includes the beautiful Collegiate Peaks Golf Course in Buena Vista. Anglers will find some of Colorado's most celebrated fly-fishing waters just minutes from the area. The legendary Dream Stream on the South Platte River is a premier destination for trophy trout, while nearby Eleven Mile Reservoir and Spinney Mountain Reservoir offer outstanding fishing amid spectacular mountain scenery. The renowned Arkansas River is also within reach, providing miles of productive trout water and year-round opportunities to experience some of Colorado's finest fly fishing.   The Trout Creek Pass area between Buena Vista and Hartsel offers a beautiful transition from the rugged Collegiate Peaks and Arkansas River Valley into the wide-open high country of South Park. The area is characterized by pine-covered hillsides, expansive mountain meadows, dramatic rock formations and panoramic views of the surrounding mountains. US Hwy 285/Hwy 24 provides convenient access between the Buena Vista area and South Park, while numerous backcountry roads provide opportunities for hiking, horseback riding, wildlife viewing, camping, hunting and other outdoor recreation on surrounding public lands. The combination of scenic mountain surroundings, abundant recreational opportunities and relatively easy access to both Buena Vista and Hartsel makes Trout Creek Pass an appealing location for those seeking a quiet Colorado mountain lifestyle without being far from everyday amenities.   Own a piece of Colorado history with this remarkable property, once crossed by the historic Colorado Midland Railroad from 1887 to 1918. The Colorado Midland was the first standard-gauge railroad built across the Continental Divide in Colorado, playing an important role in the state's early transportation and development. Today, remnants of that historic route remain, with original railroad ties and spikes still visible along the trail as you explore the property.
