In a hidden valley a half hour west of Denver is a home with a captivating history on six picturesque acres. You would not believe this is here. Driving west from Denver, a little ways past Idaho Springs, most people pass by the little town of Dumont without noticing much more than the Conoco station ad the Breeze Ski Rental. But a short drive up a valley to the north sits this spectacular property. Beautifully landscaped with a completely restored and updated home, it was built in the 1930’s by a renowned silent screen cinematographer - an Academy Award winner. It's truly an impressive home, retreat or investment opportunity. Scenic views are enjoyed from several decks and a large porch. The six acres include several trout ponds and a stream (Mill Creek). A beautiful, private and peaceful setting that must be seen to be believed. The current owners performed a complete - $600,000 - renovation and added significant square footage to the home. They also finished out two outbuildings, one as a private bedroom with a pot belly stove, the other as an art studio, both with decks on Mill Creek. This property is literally half an hour from downtown Denver and half an hour from the ski slopes of Summit County. Great new restaurants in Idaho Springs are minutes away.
