9983 North Heather Drive Castle Rock, Colorado
The name Belvedere means “taking advantage of a view.” This 8021 finished square-foot, five bedroom, six bath custom French Country ranch-style home perched on six acres atop a secluded ridge in Castle Rock dubbed “Belvedere On Heather,” lives up to its moniker many times over. This one-of-a-kind residence in the Surrey Ridge Estates community combines French elegance with Southern charm, effortlesly mixing the formal with the casual. Breathtaking panoramic views of the Colorado Front Range – from Pike’s Peak to Longs Peak – encircle this horse property with miles of riding trails, a pond (ready for you to fill) and plenty of room for a barn, riding arena, more garages, a sport court or whatever else your heart desires. Relax or entertain on the 35 x 80 red flagstone patio with a heated conversation area, gas fireplace and a coordinating sunken bar, featuring a top-of-the line built-in Viking grill.
As soon as you step into the foyer through the vintage 1920s mahogany wood, beveled and leaded glass double doors, you’ll notice the magnificent Great Room divided from the kitchen by an authentic piece of Colorado history -- a sprawling bar with 11 original stools rescued from the famed Brown Palace bar. The heart and soul of this exquisite estate’s design, is the gourmet kitchen featuring the finest of custom European cabinetry, three sinks, two warming drawers, butler’s pantry, one each of both gas and electric cook tops, an antique tin ceiling inset in the cofer above the granite island and a custom coffee bar nook that can be tucked away from view. A magnificent mahogany back bar, also from the Brown Palace bar, is beautifully displayed in the intimate Formal Dining Room. Secluded in a separate wing, the Master Retreat won’t disappoint. It boasts the same spectacular views shared by the entire rear of the home, a romantic gas fireplace and cozy sitting area for those snowy Colorado nights. The Hers”area includes elegant dressing and vanity areas with impeccable custom maple cabinetry and a glorious walk-in closet (complete with Plexiglas drawers that make tracking treasured wardrobe pieces a breeze). This closet is to-die-for! The His”side of the luxurious master bath, which also includes a soaking tub and steam shower, features a sizable walk-in closet as well.
Catch glimpses of eagles, elk, dear, antelope, coyotes, fox and countless birds (not to mention views of downtown Denver in the distance) through the expansive windows in the spacious Private Study with spectacular lighted stained glass panels incorporated directly into the ceiling. Entertaining is easy with a sunny secondary eating area off the Great Room and the nearby recreation area with a dedicated Powder Room and plenty of space for your big-screen television and billiards table.

The perfect size for a theater, wine cellar or even more guest rooms, the unfinished but heated portion of the Basement space awaits your finishing touches or undoubtedly exceeds your wildest (and most extensive) storage needs.
