Experience the quiet call of the mountains. Take in the expansive mountain views from this spacious, beautifully furnished 3-bedroom home. See the sunrise over Pikes Peak through your kitchen window and wander to the living room for sunset over the Mosquito Range. Keep a lookout for visits from moose, elk, and deer out back, and enjoy coyote songs at night. You’ll be only 4 miles from Fairplay (Groceries, Gas and Restaurants) and 25 miles from Breckenridge (world-class skiing) yet feel a world away.
All the comforts of home are yours, plus some delectable extras: a fully-equipped kitchen, gas fireplace, hot tub, steam shower, a large game room with ping pong and billiards, full-sized washer and dryer, even a wine cooler. Cozy up in a window seat to read a book, or watch the sky change from a comfy chair on the deck. In summer, remember to look up for hovering hummingbirds, or notice the constantly changing wildflowers. In fall, watch an aspen grove turn gold from your front porch.
From your base camp, access all that the Rocky Mountains have to offer. Hike one of the many local trails or take on Mt. Sherman, one of Colorado’s famous 14-ers. Book a wet and wild rafting trip on the Arkansas River, just 35 miles away. Fly fish South Park’s gold-medal waters for some of the finest trout streams in the lower 48. Or drop your line closer to home in a stocked pond within walking distance from the house. In winter, enjoy the world-class skiing at Breckenridge Resort, just 25 miles away over stunning Hoosier Pass. Snowshoe or cross-country ski on trails just minutes from the house.
