Estes Park sits at the east gate of Rocky Mountain National Park, and this 1985 A-frame sits above it on 2.82 acres of rock outcropping that backs directly onto National Forest. The roof is carried down to deck level on both flanks under brown shingle, with a pale board-and-batten gable and a triangular window at the peak. From the front deck the view runs to Longs Peak, Mount Meeker and Twin Sisters.

Inside is 698 square feet, recently renovated — new plank flooring, a sage-green kitchen with new appliances, a redone bath, refreshed decks. Painted board runs to the ridge with angled skylights cut into the roof slope on both sides. A chimney wall of stacked reclaimed timber anchors one end, and a loft runs twenty-eight feet above the living room, reached by a steep wooden stair rather than a ladder.

The ask is $499,000, cut $10,000 on August 24 from $509,000. That is $715 a square foot, which buys the land and the view rather than the floor area. Two bedrooms, one bath, a $13 monthly HOA, and 73 days on market with 1,447 views and 111 saves. No Zestimate on record. MLS 1061806.
