Welcome to Mt. Ralphmore!
Absolutely the best in every way...location, scenic views & price. This mountain retreat is built in the Heart of the Colorado Rockies(more 14,000' mountains here than anywhere else in North America), breath-taking mountain views in every direction, best view of the famous Chalk Cliffs.
Overlooks & constructed on the banks of the beautiful Chalk Creek w/ floor to ceiling windows.. Enjoy the beauty (magnificent) & sounds of nature (bubbling creek below), watch the wildlife (deer, elk, fox) fish, hike or sit out on the 40' plus wrap around porch. The large screened in porch is great for outdoor eating and relaxing as well.
This is a warm & wonderfully built abode w/ all the comforts & amenities (maybe more) of home. With 3 full baths and 6 separate vanities, everyone gets accommodated.
Mt. Ralphmore is located just 10 min. & 23 min. respectively from the historic towns of Buena Vista & Salida, where charm, dining, shopping & galleries abound!
The San Isabel National Forest, St. Elmo (famous ghost town & great place to feed the chipmunks or rent jeeps/snowmobiles), Mt Princeton Hot Springs (Colorado's #1 hot springs)& the Arkansas River (great rafting or fly fishing) are all right here.
Monarch, Ski Cooper & Copper Ski Resorts are all 35-45 min. away, as is Leadville (lots of history there). Breckenridge is just a bit over an hour & Vail is 1 hr. & 30 min. Located 2 hrs. from Colorado Springs, flying in & out is easy.
Plenty of activities to enjoy year round. The best place to take a family, take a friend, take a break & take a vacation!

Great place to celebrate end of Ride the Rockies and my 60th birthday. Awesome setting, panoramic views all around and the quintessential creek running through. Very comfortable accomodations and super kitchen for my son, the chef, to perform his culinary magic. You'll love it!Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, age 55+, families with young children.

I spent Thanksgiving here. It is majestic. We took walks down Bunny Lane, took pictures on the bridge and just enjoyed the surroundings. Mt. Ralphmore is very beautiful and very inviting. Wish I could be here more. We really love the deck that surrounds the entire place, oh, and the screened in porch, gotta love that.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1

We come here for spring break every year. We have so many wonderful memories. We snowboard, sled and feed the deer. In the evenings we play games, but with computer access we can get on out laptops, too. There is no where better to spend time than Mt. Ralphmre.Did you find this review helpful?

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2008
About the owner: We live in Dallas, have a career in real estate and a passion for design. We enjoy sharing what we have been blessed with!
Why the Owner Chose Buena Vista:
We have been coming to this area for over 35 yrs. We built in this particular area because it is in such close proximity to all that Colorado has to offer. The view is tremendous and the location fabulous. It just does not get any better than this!
The Unique Benefits at this House:
The best home in the area w/ the finest views. A very warm inviting home that sits on three+ acres overlooking Chalk Creek, the Chalk Cliffs, Mt Princeton & Mt Antero. Hearing the bubbling of the creek or viewing the Chalk Cliffs at sunrise, walking down Bunny Lane or driving up to St. Elmo, memories for a lifetime will be made.
