1288 Royal Ridge Drive

Welcome to Forest Ridge Overlook. Denver mountain convenience meets true privacy in Forest Ridge Estates. On 3.29 usable acres with gentle terrain, granite outcrops and big foothill views, this custom mountain-contemporary was designed for light, flow and everyday ease. A sun-splashed great room with vaulted T&G ceilings and stone fireplace opens to expansive decks—morning coffee above the pines, sunset dinners under alpenglow. The gourmet kitchen (island, stainless appliances) connects effortlessly to dining and outdoors, while the main-floor primary suite adds a spa bath and private perch. Upstairs, flexible bedrooms/loft fit guest space, studio or office; the walk-out lower level brings a media/rec zone for game day or movie night.
Huge bonus: an above-garage ADU/apartment with its own kitchen, full bath and balcony—ideal for multigenerational living, long-stay guests, creative workspace or income potential (buyer to verify use/permits). Car enthusiasts will love the oversized, heated 5-car garage plus extra RV/boat parking.
Everyday comforts include radiant heat (Buderus brand boiler), whole-house generator, well & septic, high-speed internet availability, and a paved, level driveway that makes four seasons simple. Step outside to wildlife watching, soak-ready deck wiring, and quick adventures: Staunton State Park, Pike National Forest, Wellington Lake, the North Fork of the South Platte—all minutes away. And when city needs call, Hwy 285 puts you on a straight shot to Denver, DIA and Front Range amenities.
If you’ve been waiting for a property that delivers quiet mountain living without daily friction, this is the one—private, flexible, and set up for the lifestyle you want now.
