Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2002
I am a property manager for homes in Summit and Park Counties. I offer vacation rentals for the vacationer as well as property management for the home owners. Second Home Second Chance is located at 425 Main Street in Fairplay, Colorado. I hope you will free to stop by and visit us when you are in the area.
Why the Owner Chose Jefferson
I am a property manager for this home but I too have a vacation home in this location because it is not only one of the most picturesque locations in Colorado but it is also centrally located to all of the activities that we love such as skiing, hiking, fishing, 4-wheeling, and exploring old mines and ghost towns. It is close enough to Breckenridge and Buena Vista to enjoy shopping and eating out within an hour.
The Unique Benefits of this Home
I enjoy the solitude and quiet beauty of being way up in the mountains. You can enjoy hiking among the wild flowers and wildlife in the summer and snuggle up and read a book by the fire while it snows in the winter. You can be hiking and playing in the mountains all day and then be at Breckenridge enjoying shopping or dining out in the evening. It is the best of both worlds.
