Boulders Broadmoor home carved into the hills below Cheyenne Mountain
By Kate Jonuska

It’s not that the neighborhood isn’t great, with a quiet cul-de-sac and award-winning Cheyenne Mountain District schools. It’s not that the exterior of the home isn’t lovely — stacked stone and stucco, a covered front porch supported by stone pillars.

In fact, the only reason to breeze through everything that precedes walking through the front door of this five-bedroom, five-bath home is that once you’re inside, it’s impossible not to be bowled over, drawn like a magnet toward a massive wall of windows that reveal how the home is literally carved into the hillside.

“I respect how Sterling Homes took this steep lot and made something of it. The way they set this house in here is fantastic,” says Joe Clement of RE/MAX Properties, who lists the Boulders Broadmoor home for $795,000. He gives a tour of the windows, which boast views of mature trees, boulders, terraced rock walls, meandering flagstone paths and not a neighboring home in sight. “You’re right in the forest, in the foothills, with peeks of Cheyenne Mountain here and there.”
