Thoughtfully reimagined through a comprehensive, designer-led renovation, the residence is filled with natural light and elevated finishes, including wide-plank white oak floors, honed soapstone, crisp white shiplap and striking beamed ceilings. The warm, sophisticated palette feels current yet timeless, while expansive covered balconies and a rare, level backyard create an exceptional connection between indoor and outdoor living. The main level offers a welcoming stone fireplace, a chef's galley kitchen with a custom banquette, dining space for twelve, an open family room, a double garage, a full covered deck, guest quarters and a serene primary suite. The bright lower level features a generous club room with space for a media lounge and pool table, opening to a covered balcony and the backyard... perfect for croquet, entertaining or relaxed afternoons outdoors. An additional bedroom and a versatile bonus room, ideal for an office, gym or overflow guests, complete the lower level. Outside, the Highlands-style landscape follows the natural slope of the property before opening to the unusually large, flat backyard. True to its name, Forest Trail is surrounded by national forest, hiking trails, pristine horse pastures, a well-stocked trout stream and lake, and the prestigious Cold Springs Saddle & Tennis Club. Residents can walk to the canoe and kayak dock, fly fish from the island or keep horses in a private stable on site, all with a level of privacy, recreation and natural beauty rarely found so close to downtown Highlands. Furnishings available separately.

Any subdivision, commercial, hospitality, or alternative use would be subject to buyer verification and applicable approvals. Whether your vision is a private mountain estate, family compound, recreational retreat, investment opportunity, or something entirely your own, Cheyenne Summit at Clear Creek offers the acreage and setting to dream big—with the rare combination of true mountain privacy and Highlands Proper less than 15 minutes away.
