Why the Owner Chose Other Breckenridge Properties
I looked all over the country for a place to build my mountain home. My first priority was proximity to world class skiing. Breckenridge Ski Resort (1/2 hour away) is the number one destination for European Skiers when they leave Europe to Ski. That's the definition of world class to me:)
While I love the town of Breckenridge, I wanted a more secluded, quiet experience for my mountain home. The Hifalutin Lodge sits in a beautiful Aspen grove, and directly adjoins national forest land. It's in a friendly community made up of locals and vacation home owners.
I also enjoy cross country skiing and mountain biking. Both, depending on the season, can be done directly out the door of my home...you don't even need a car to access spectacular single track mountain bike and ski trails in the Pike National Forest.
The Unique Benefits at this House
The view from the upstairs great room is beautiful. Aspen trees gently sway in the mountain breeze...their leaves practically within reach out of huge windows. I locked myself away in the cabin for six weeks to finish writing my first book in 2009. The beauty and serenity of the mountains is inspiring.
South Park City is a remarkable restoration of these early towns, preserving the history of our nation's frontier while it educates and entertains the present. Located in Fairplay, Colorado, the museum is an accurate representation of a mining town between 1860 and 1900. Thirty-four authentic buildings filled with over 60,000 artifacts portray most of the economic and social aspects of boomtown life. Seven of the buildings are on their original sites; the others have been moved from abandoned camps and ghost towns in South Park, a 900 square mile basin surrounded by Colorado's majestic Rocky Mountains. It's a wonderful place to wander around and soak up the authentic Mountain town atmosphere.
Charming and beautiful this hillside cemetery will transport you back in time. Does the ghost of Silver Heels still haunt this cemetery in Buckskin Joe? Many locals have seen a ghostly spirit, who is veiled and dressed in black walking among these old stones.
National forest right out the back door. Miles and miles of trails, in fact this cabin backs up to 1 million acres. So if you do go out bring your compass and a map and watch out for bears.

I love to ski and mountain bike. I built this house (Ok...a contractor built the house) in 2005 to fulfill my lifelong dream of having a mountain home. My wife and kids don't like skiing at all...but they love going to the mountains!
