Remarkable Cliffside Lair For Sale – Cave of the Chimes

High above Glenwood Springs Canyon, carved directly into Iron Mountain, lies one of the most unusual homes in America — The Cave of the Chimes. More than a residence, this is a monument to resilience, obsession, and forty years of painstaking work by its original owners.

What began in 1978 as a cave tucked deep in the canyon walls has been transformed into a 3,000+ square foot cliffside dwelling — complete with custom-carved stone walls, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a billiard room, a secret tunnel that runs from the master closet, and even a retrofitted elevator shaft blasted into the rock by hand. The cave’s natural formations — stalactites, stalagmites, and the rare “chimes” themselves — remain intact, making the interiors feel more like a natural fortress than a conventional home.

From the outside, the property commands astonishing views of Glenwood Canyon while still being just minutes from town. From the inside, it offers the ultimate lair aesthetic: vaulted cave ceilings, secret passageways, and the sense that you’re living inside a hidden world few others will ever see.

But this is not a turnkey suburban home. This is a place for visionaries, individualists, and would-be lairmasters — those willing to pick up where the original pioneers left off. The Cave of the Chimes is equal parts residence and legend, a property that demands not just ownership but stewardship.

With 25 acres of rugged cliffside land, the possibilities stretch as wide as your imagination: a subterranean playground, a private mountain fortress, or even a world-class destination carved into the heart of Colorado’s wilderness.

For those bold enough to take it on, The Cave of the Chimes offers something beyond real estate: the chance to write the next chapter of an extraordinary human endeavor — and to quite literally live inside history.
