A home built into a 200-million-year-old rock face has gone on the market for just under $1 million.
The property is based in Larkspur, Colorado, US and is – perhaps unsurprisingly – named ‘the Rock House’.
Integrating with nature, the house is built around a 45-foot-high section of part of Colorado’s ancient red rocks.
Built in 2000 in red brick to match the surroundings, the towering property boasts four levels, with a balcony and deck to step out and enjoy the stunning scenes.

The first floor opens into a foyer and electrical room, while heading upstairs there is a primary bedroom, bathroom and office.
On the third floor is the kitchen, living room and dining area – as well as deck access.

Upstairs on the fourth floor is the second bedroom, another office, a second bathroom and a laundry area.
The top floor also leads to a screened porch and the balcony.

Nature is incorporated throughout the home, with exposed rock and brickwork a common theme, while light and bright décor and wooden elements are also used across the 2,400 square footage.
The estate agent told Luxury Property News: “Coloradans love to embrace the outdoors, and this home brings that to the next level by literally bringing the outdoors into your home.

“The home is perfectly integrated with nature, nestled around a 45 ft high section of one of Colorado’s beloved 200-million-year-old red rocks and surrounded on 3 sides by community open space.
“The current owners have diligently updated the original home built by the previous owner/builder.

“This resort-like home seamlessly blends modern mountain living with the organic nature of the stunning red rocks.
“Enjoy your own, private ‘Garden of the Gods’-like surroundings, picnic area, Milky Way views from the private hot tub, and all the peace and serenity you could wish for.”
The home is currently listed for $989,900 with the Thayer Group at Keller Williams Action Realty in Castel Rock, Colorado.
