This fabulous home is located in Michigan Hills which is one of the most prominent developments in Park County. The cozy but roomy 3 bedroom and 1 bath home is located on 3.5 wooded acres overlooking the snow-capped mountain ranges to the North and West. The home has a spacious living area with a wood-burning stone fireplace open to the large dining area and kitchen. There are 2 bedrooms on the main level with a large bathroom which has a tub and a shower. One bedroom has a full-size bed and the other has 2 twin beds. The master bedroom and separate living area is privately located upstairs with a King size bed and it's own private balcony/porch overlooking the woods at the back of the home.
The home is not only beautiful inside but outside as well. The expansive porch across the front of the house offers magnificent views of the mountains and surrounding forest. There is a large hot tub on the front porch where you can relax and enjoy the mountain and valley views. It is easily accessible from the family room through the sliding doors. You can sit in the hot tub and watch it snow in the winter months. Comfy chairs are also provided to relax and enjoy the views. There are 2 additional porches on the back of the house (one up and one down). There is a large fire-pit outside where you can snuggle up with a warm fire and toast marshmallows while enjoying the mountain and wildlife views. Herds of elk regularly gather in the fields below the home.
Michigan Hill is in the heart of all outdoor activities in the Rocky Mountains. In the Fall you will be in the heart of some of the most amazing aspen groves around. There are plenty of scenic views to stop at and admire the gorgeous aspen leaves turning golden orange and yellow. You will also be only 45 minutes from world-class mountain biking in Breckenridge and Keystone and 45 minutes from Buena Vista with the best whitewater rafting in Colorado. If hiking to a ghost town sounds like fun, you will be in the right place. Nearby Boreas Pass and Alma offer mining ghost towns to hike to. Buena Vista is the location of the famous ghost town of St. Elmo. Whatever your outdoor hobby may be, you will be close. The best fishing in Colorado includes the nearby Jefferson Lake, Tarrayall Reservoir, Lake Antero, Lake George, and Eleven-Mile Reservoir. As for shopping you can choose from the antique stores in nearby Como, Fairplay, and Buena Vista or the outlet malls in Silverthorne.

Why the Owner Chose Jefferson
This location is not only the most beautiful spot in Colorado but it is centrally located to all outdoor activities. It is close to world-class skiing in Breckenridge, hiking, mountain biking, fishing, hunting, 4-wheeling, rafting and so much more.
The Unique Benefits of this Custom Built Cabin
The home is privately located on a quiet street with magnificent view of snow-capped peaks. It is on a 3.5 acre lot that is thickly wooded with beautiful mature Aspen trees. It is close to all the recreation areas and ski areas but still isolated enough to be cozy, quiet and beautiful.
