Stop looking, you have found it! Welcome to your beautiful mountain home on 7 acres of secluded privacy. Surrounded by quaking aspens, your home goes virtually unnoticed from the road providing you with plenty of peace and quiet. You are only minutes away from downtown Fairplay, CO, the grocery store, gas stations, restaurants and Front Street where many summer activities take place.
You will enjoy 3200 sq ft of vaulted ceilings with a two car garage. Four bedrooms, three full bathrooms, a large, fully stocked kitchen, Great Room, Rec Room with foosball table, two gas fireplaces, a gas woodstove, and baseboard heating provide you with space and comfort. Relax outside in the evening around a gas fire pit eating smores and marshmallows. Don't confuse this for a cabin. There is plenty of room for two families to vacation together.
If you like hiking, you have found a paradise. Walk just 1/4 mile to the north and you enter Pike National Forest full of wildlife, trails and breathtaking views. For the serious hiker, plan an early morning ascent of Mt. Silverheels (Elev 13,882) and be back in time to enjoy a quiet afternoon nap on the deck. Looking for a whitewater adventure? Drive 35 miles to Buena Vista and sign up for a half or full day rafting trip through picturesque Browns Canyon on the Arkansas River.
Six world class ski resorts are all within a short drive: Breckenridge (23 miles), Keystone (35 Miles), Copper Mountain (38 Miles), A-Basin (41 Miles), Vail (57 Miles), Beaver Creek (66 Miles). Spend your day on the mountain in knee deep powder and then take in the local scene for some fun and frivolity. Fill your senses with good food and good people wherever you go. As an alternative, order a pizza ahead of time from Patti’s Pizzeria in Alma and pick it up on your way home. A slice and a beer followed by a hot shower is a relaxing way to end the day.
A stocked trout pond is a short walk or drive down the road for the kids. They can spend some quality time with Mom & Dad learning to bait a hook or calling out cloud formations rolling by in the blue sky above. Gold medal fly fishing is 30 minutes away on "the Dream Stream" between Spinney and Eleven Mile reservoirs. Numerous lakes and reservoirs are but a short drive for more recreational opportunities. Want to feel like a pro golfer? Find a mountain golf course and hit a drive 300+ yards at 10,000 feet! Ride a horse, go bowling, take a walk or a run, go mountain biking; the options are endless from your home.

Year Purchased: 2004
Why the Owner Chose Fairplay
We purchased this home for a number of reasons. It is within 66 miles of 6 major ski areas and our families are heavy skiers; Breckenridge, Keystone, A-Basin and Copper Mountain, Vail and Beaver Creek. It is within walking distance to thousands of acres of Pike National Forest with Mt. Silverheels (13,822 ft) visible from the master bedroom. The neighborhood has a stocked trout pond and gold medal trout fishing is abundant in the immediate area. Fairplay is 2 miles away and offers an active summer season full of music, art and special events. Breckenridge is 30 minutes away and has even more to offer in the way of music, arts, special events, restaurants and of course, winter skiing! The house is very secluded, quiet and peaceful all year.
The Unique Benefits at this House
Peace and quiet! Seldom will you hear another neighbor or car. The large deck off the front of the house is great for sipping morning coffee or relaxing with an evening drink in the summer. Winter evenings are cozy, warm and without the distractions of everyday life. Relax by the fireplace, enjoy your favorite beverage, read a book, work on a jigsaw puzzle or listen to the radio. You will enjoy being inside and outside! The spaciousness of the house and property afford two families the opportunity to vacation together without feeling cramped. Summer time in the mountains is often overshadowed by ski season. Don't be fooled! The summer is every bit as active and the 70+ degree days and cool mountain nights are a great escape from the heat.
Owner's Map of Fairplay
After moving to Colorado in 1995 from Western New York, we discovered all the mountains had to offer and spent many weekends enjoying the various activities year round. We enjoy skiing, hiking, fishing, hunting and generally being outdoors. It doesn't matter if it is Spring, Summer, Fall or Winter, there is always something new and interesting to do. Our families are partners in business and partners in this mountain home. We each have three kids and they all love spending time here.
