Map & Owner's Profile
Year Purchased: 1978
Why the Owner Chose Clock Tower
This lot is really in the heart of the ski area. As soon as the kids were above eight they were able to walk to and from the lifts. We carried their skis and they carried the poles. (Now there is bus service but we all still walk.) And, of course, there is the Steamboat Powder. This year of 2009 we had at least 8 days of knee deep powder. Three generations had a blast. (We were skunked in 2008.) Summer mountain biking off the gondola is great but grandkids have other interests. Our lot is on a hillside with lots of steps so you will have a mountain experience.
The Unique Benefits at this Duplex
"Pride of ownership" means lots of painting a upgrading. We paint a while then go for a hike, then lay some tile and go fishing. Just working on the fence in the middle of our lot is filled with wild flowers, sage smells, aspen and pine. But above all Sunspot is great for families and friends to gather and then go their different ways. We delibertly keep our rating at economy so that families can afford to go to the mountains. We have a lot of cowboy and indian art work but no expensive furnishings or counter tops. Steamboat Home Rental lic. VHR-08-14 + VHR-08-14A
Owner's Map of Clock Tower
The Beard family found this lot in 1969 when Steamboat had only two lifts. You might say we "saw it coming". Then when our four kids were in grade school we built our ski house in 1978. Since the lot was zoned for a duplex we designed a building that would last us into future generations. Our family house is in Fort Collins, about three hours away. Our family has now grown to 18 and we have plenty of room for everyone to stay in the same house. Now many of the grandchildren are in high school and if the group is down to ten we will only take one unit and share the other side with our customers.
