Just west of the city of Boulder, Colorado, nestled in the foothills of the Front Range of the Rockies, we find the nature-centric community of Pine Brook Hills, where approximately 400 homes offer the finest mountain living amidst the area’s beautiful nature and wildlife.

Among them is a two-story luxury cabin that pairs rustic influences with modern finishes, creating an idyllic mountain escape in the heart of the Rockies.

Listed for $6,400,000 with Shelby Sampson of The Agency Denver, the home also happens to be the most expensive home in the Pine Brook Hills neighborhood, and can potentially set a new record for the area if sold close to its asking price.

But dreaming doesn’t cost a thing, and the Boulder cabin is definitely one to add to our vision boards. And if its beautiful rustic-inspired, contemporary interiors won’t get you, its generous views of the Continental Divide just might.

Built in 2021, the Pine Brook Hills home is a bit like a luxury cabin on steroids, offering 6,037 square feet of rustic-inspired yet distinctly modern interiors reminiscent of the most stylish mountain retreats.

Set on a large 1.52-acre lot, the contemporary Boulder cabin was built using non-combustible exterior materials including Porcelenosa, hand-cut stone, and steel siding.
