Perched on a commanding mesa just west of Castle Rock, Colorado, 253 Stone Pointe Trail isn’t just a home—it’s a testament to vision, craftsmanship, and harmony with the land. Listed for $5,000,000, this 7,332-square-foot Mediterranean-inspired estate delivers timeless elegance and modern luxury across 35.62 acres of rolling terrain, all within one of the region’s most exclusive gated communities.
Completed in 2023 and framed by the dramatic silhouettes of the Front Range, this custom-built residence stands apart in the landscape of Castle Rock real estate. From every window, mountain vistas unfold—from Pikes Peak to Longs Peak—offering a daily reminder of the grandeur that defines Colorado real estate at its most refined.

“Some homes sell you on amenities; this one sells you on emotion,” said Joy Nowakowski, listing agent with LIV Sotheby’s International Realty. “It’s a home that stirs something inside you the moment you arrive. There’s a stillness here that people spend years trying to find.”
While the exterior speaks in the language of Tuscany—stone arches, terracotta tones, and sculpted columns—the home itself is rooted firmly in the wild heart of Colorado. A central courtyard with fountain sets the tone for serene outdoor living, while expansive decks and balconies ensure every gathering feels like a retreat.

Inside, the great room rises with vaulted, beam-lined ceilings and a statement cast-concrete fireplace. Arched windows frame mountain views like art. The kitchen is nothing short of culinary theater, anchored by twin waterfall islands and outfitted with JennAir appliances, black custom cabinetry, a Miele coffee station, and a charming Italian wine window that opens to the covered terrace.

“The symmetry in the design is purposeful,” Nowakowski told Luxury Houses Magazine. “There’s rhythm in every line—from the arched doorways to the soaring ceilings—that makes the house feel balanced and deeply intentional.”
The home offers main-floor living with a luxurious primary suite that opens to its own private balcony, complete with a see-through gas fireplace and spa-worthy ensuite. Additional spaces on this level include a guest suite with Juliet balcony, a richly appointed office, and a laundry/mudroom with a built-in pet wash.

Above it all sits the crow’s nest—a versatile space flanked by two balconies, perfect for a home office, reading loft, or creative studio. Downstairs, the walk-out level offers an inviting family room with fireplace and wet bar, gym, and two bedrooms with ensuite baths.
From top to bottom, the floorplan supports both grand entertaining and intimate family living, always with nature in view and privacy preserved.
Though the home is new, the land has a story. Purchased in 2019 for $920,000, the parcel was once untouched acreage in what is now Tessa Mesa, an ultra-private enclave of just 16 estate properties. Today, 253 Stone Pointe Trail is among the most coveted addresses in Castle Rock real estate, with its combination of security, acreage, and location just minutes from I‑25 and 30 minutes from Denver.

The home is zoned A1, with utilities including geothermal heating, a private well, propane service, and a radon mitigation system. HOA dues of $8,800 annually cover grounds and road maintenance, as well as gate security and community oversight.

“What makes this home rare isn’t just the views or the finishes,” Nowakowski added. “It’s the lifestyle it supports—quiet, refined, connected to nature, yet within reach of everything that matters.”
