This contemporary rancher in Franktown, Colorado certainly has that je ne sais wha? about it, which is why this editor finds it almost irresistible. Built in 1997, the massive 10,433-square-foot three-bedroom sits on over 42 acres in Mitchell Gulch and frames views of the Centennial State’s stunning natural landscape, including a stocked lake right on the property.

Glass windows run most of the length of the home, while 14-foot beams line the ceiling across the expansive, open-plan living areas. The huge, powder-pink kitchen features Art Deco-inspired cabinetry that would almost be kitschy except for its earnestness, tiled floors, and a full center island. A slate, double-faced fireplace divides the carpeted dining area from the living room, which features a wet bar, while a curved partition creates a study beyond that.

Each bedroom is ensuite, and there’s even a tiered media room, den, basement office, and attached 4,000-square-foot garage. Though it could use an update, the 1980s-adjacent residence is cool just the way it is. Located at 5600 East State Highway 86 about an hour outside of Denver, it’s asking $2,550,000.
