It functions as a self-contained escape with its own sense of privacy and quiet. Downstairs, the walkout lower level adds 1,726 square feet of finished space, including a full bath, wet bar, ample storage, and flex space for an additional private living area, hobbies, a home gym, or whatever your imagination can conjure. And let's not forget the 390+ square feet of space, ideal for a workshop, with exterior access via an overhead garage door. Modern infrastructure completes the picture. Derbyshire is served by fiber optic internet, natural gas, municipal water, underground utilities, and underground power lines — meaning you enjoy the beauty and peace of mountain-adjacent country living without sacrificing a single convenience.
