Building on land held by the homeowners’ family since 1882, this Modern Homestead honors the legacy of a circa 1902 farmhouse while embracing a modern interpretation of tradition.
Designed by Shepherd Resources, the home sits at 7,900 feet, positioned carefully within a conserved 1,760 acre landscape that will remain largely untouched for generations.
The interiors feel immediately welcoming. A restrained palette of taupe, beige, and cream sets a warm foundation, layered with muted greens and softened earth tones. Traditional details such as mantels, coffered ceilings, mullioned windows, and classic sconces give the home its enduring character. The layout favors clearly defined rooms, including a library and formal dining space, reflecting the homeowners’ preference for a more traditional way of living.
The architecture responds directly to the surrounding landscape. The home is gently curved to capture mountain views in every direction, while recycled materials, solar power, and an all electric system support both sustainability and durability in Colorado’s climate. Rooted in family history and shaped by thoughtful design, the Modern Homestead is built to last.
