‘Resort-like’ home built into red rocks hits Colorado market for under $1M

DENVER ( KDVR ) – Having a home in Colorado is dreamy for some, but imagine having a 200-million-year-old chunk of Colorado inside that home. That’s the case for one residence in Larkspur that’s currently for sale.

Located at 6619 Apache Place, the home is built into a 45-foot-tall red rock formation. The listing calls it a “resort-like” home that “seamlessly blends modern mountain living with the organic nature of the stunning red rocks.”

Inside, the red rock makes up one of the walls, and the three other sides are surrounded by open community space.

The home, built in 2000, has two bedrooms and two bathrooms and 2,432 square feet of living space on a 0.86-acre lot. As of Wednesday, it was listed for $989,900.

“Turn away (if you can) from the spectacular red rock views from nearly every single window, and relax in the den, cook a meal on the grill on the back deck, or retreat upstairs to the primary suite with an electric fireplace,” the home’s listing states.

The home also features vaulted, high tongue-and-groove ceilings, a private hot tub, walk-in closets, hardwood floors, a balcony, a private yard, and more.

According to RedRocksOnline.com , Red Rocks Park, situated 6,450 feet above sea level, is “a unique transitional zone where the Great Plains meet the Rocky Mountains,” and it describes the Red Rocks Amphitheatre as the world’s “only naturally-occurring, acoustically perfect amphitheatre.”

A virtual tour of the home, its floorplan, images and more can be found on the online listing page.
