You’ll hear Red Rocks concerts from a Tuscan-styled custom coming on the market now
What’s the very best hiking trail within 20 minutes of Denver? That would be
Mt. Falcon Park, as easy or as tough as you want to make it—either way with memorable views of downtown and the hogbacks of South Jeffco. Agents Todd Houghton and Kathleen Hanvey have a Tuscan-styled custom home coming on the market this weekend that’s right at the trailhead south of the town of Morrison; with a gigantic deck that offers a great view of Red Rocks Park and Amphitheater.
Near-one-acre site
The famous concert venue is exactly 1.5 miles north—close enough, Hanvey and Houghton say, that sellers could hear a bit of the music and held parties when favorite bands were in town. The home at 17655 Forest Avenue, Morrison, is a true custom by builder Lance Johnson, created in 2010 on a near-one-acre scraped site from a previous home built in 1974. Houghton and Hanvey, with the Red Rocks Team at Your Castle, are experts on Morrison and nearby Willowbrook and Willow Springs; where they’re seeing that post-pandemic

This one shows brick-n-stucco architecture beneath a red tile roof; five bedrooms and 6 baths, 6,254 sq. feet, with a main-floor master; soaring entertaining area; finished basement with an iconic bar; a 4-car garage; and a barn/outbuilding that adds four parking spots for custom cars (the sellers used it as a music studio). The agents are showing it today and this week by appointment only.
Jefferson County’s Mt. Falcon Trail is closed today, muddy after recent snows.
