A mountain-contemporary residence held quietly in the pines, where the glass disappears and the Front Range takes the room.
Enter the residenceThe Residence
Built for light, seasons, and the long view
Set on over an acre of wooded land above Golden, the house is arranged along a single south-facing spine so that every principal room borrows the same horizon. Stone, cherry, knotty alder and steel are used generously and precisely. Walls of folding glass open the great room to a deck that seems to hover over the treetops. Below, water falls through tiered granite to a still pond; above, the sky performs uninterrupted from first light to the last star.

A Home Built Around the Sun
Where the day is kept by light, not by the clock
Beyond Waynes Way in Genesee, life is often measured in alarms, notifications, and appointments.
ut within the bounds of this property, the clock releases its grip as the natural rhythm of pure sunlight — not the ticking hour — leads the day. Set on over an acre, this contemporary home was built like a sundial where the position of the sun in the sky effortlessly guides the unfolding of your day — all in right timing. In lieu of an alarm clock, the easterly sun gently greets you as it rises over the city with rays of light dancing across your soaring main-level primary retreat. Midday, the sun shines from its peak height, sending you to the patio for lunch surrounded by crisp air and mountain vistas. As it begins to dip west behind the foothills, vibrant sunset colors signal opportunity for culinary creativity in the gourmet chef's kitchen. When the stars appear above, time stops as you plunge into the hot tub beneath a richly darkening sky.
You don't ever have to count the hours here because daylight never escapes you; beautiful rays pour through floor-to-ceiling glass from first light to last, as the moments stretch on — endless — as you savor every picture-perfect angle the sun's light has to offer.
Views span from the Denver skyline to Pikes Peak, Bear Creek Canyon, and Mount Blue Sky, with outdoor recreation and city life both close at hand. Ultimate serenity resides in this setting that is like a nature preserve with scenes of wildlife moving through and the seasons putting on a show. This home sits on a mountainside, and mountains were moved to build it, with over 500 tons of rock specifically placed to make the landscaping alone majestically precise.
This property is a sanctuary from the fast-paced outside world where time never quite seems to be graspable. At Waynes Way, the eternal moment reigns, and each day is defined not by the clock, but by the timelessness that can only be bestowed by light, natural rhythm, and the essence of home.
A Day in the Light
Glass, light, and miles of sky
Morning
First light comes in low over the ridge and moves slowly across cherry floors. Coffee at the island, the valley still blue below.
Midday
The glass walls fold away and the house becomes a pavilion — pine air, birdsong, and an open threshold between inside and out.
Sunset
Ranges stack into a silhouette. Dinner is served outside in the fresh warm air while the sky runs from copper to plum.
Night
The Milky Way arrives without competition, and the whole mountain goes quiet.
Features
Rooms with intention
The Great Room
A thirty-foot wall of glass frames the Front Range. Stone hearth, cherry, and a ceiling that lifts the whole room toward the view.
The Kitchen
Quartzite countertops under-lit with dimmable lighting, and a working island oriented so the cook never turns their back on the views.
Primary Suite
A canopied bed, a private fireplace, and a balcony with its own water feature. The bath's soaking tub sits under a window of pure sky and mountain vistas.
Lower Level
Billiards, a wet bar in cherry wood, a mirror-walled gym that can covert back to a theater, and a family room built for long winter evenings.
The Grounds
Tiered water falls into a stone pond. A circular fire pit, a hammock in the pines, and a hot tub set into the terrace.
Arrival
A stone driveway leading to a 6-car garage, an arched entry, and a fountain that greets you before the door does.
The Views
Miles of Front Range, framed like a held breath.

The Film
A cinematic tour, from dawn to the last light
A one-and-a-half-minute film moves through the house in real time — the sunrise, the glass opening to the deck, the water, and the ridge going gold.
