Spectacular Views of Mountains, River & Backs National Forest
Year Purchased: 2007
Why the Owner Chose Alma
We love the mountains and hiking, skiing and biking wooded areas and secluded trails. We enjoy being 13 miles from Breckenridge with its world class skiing, golfing, fabulous restaurants and shopping. At the same time we enjoy the quaint small towns of Alma and Fairplay and the pristine nature of our area. We love sitting on our deck and soaking in the sun and marveling at the majestic mountains.
The Unique Benefits at this House
We enjoy hiking or snowshoeing out our back yard into the National Forest while soaking in fantastic mountain views. We walk a half a block down below our place and we are at the Platte River with excellent fishing or a peaceful walk or mountain bike along the dirt trail. We can walk or drive to Montgomery Reservoir for fishing, hiking, snowshoeing or jeeping (about 1 mile from our place). We are located on a quiet cul de sac with little traffic and plenty of wildlife. On a cold or blustery day we sit back and enjoy a roaring fire in the woodstove and cuddle up on the couch with a good book or on one of Colorado's many 'bluebird' sunshine days we can lounge or dine on our spacious deck and take in the sun and fabulous views.
Owner's Map of Alma
We have been a realtors/builders for 15 years in the Alma area. We love the 'small town charm' of Alma and Fairplay yet enjoy the fact that we can drive 13 miles and be in Breckenridge for fabulous skiing, events and shopping. We can be in Buena Vista in 50 minutes in the hot springs or on the golf course or fly into Denver and only drive 90 miles to be at our favorite spot in the world.
