About this property

Gorgeous Fall Colors at Quartz Point Ranch: 20 beautiful acres to roam!

If you want to escape the city, why pick a house in side-by-side suburbia? Seasons of stunning surroundings await you! Come see our wildflower meadows bursting with a rainbow of color in the late spring and summer, aspen groves painted in gold, yellow and red in the fall, and trails through the woods blanketed in white for you to snowshoe in the winter. All these photos are ON THE RANCH, not "nearby" like so many listings post. Take a lovely walk on one of our several trails right out the back door.

Location:
Just 3 miles up the hill from Black Hawk (casinos, fine dining!), it is consistently a 75 minute drive from DIA. It is 2.5 miles to Black Hawk's brand new Hidden Treasure mountain bike trailhead, and of course all of the Indian Peaks Wilderness trailheads are just minutes north on the Peak to Peak Highway. Interstate 70 is 20 minutes to the south. The closest 2 ski areas are Loveland to the south and Eldora to the north. Rocky Mountain National Park is a 40 mile trip north up the Peak to Peak Scenic Byway, a spectacular drive.

IMPORTANT: 4WD/AWD AND GOOD SNOW TIRES REQUIRED OCT. 10 - MAY 10 unless otherwise advised. Message us any time for current conditions.

The Talley House:
The house is the 50-year-old original home on the ranch. It has 2 bedrooms and a full bathroom upstairs, a bedroom with a brand new bathroom downstairs, along with spacious living, dining room and den areas. The kitchen has new appliances. It is surrounded on three sides with large outdoor deck areas.

The house is next to the barn, the green house, and the caretaker's house, so you will see the owners and the caretaker, with our many dogs working in the barn and around the property while you are here. We are busy making and marking trails, building fences, taking care of the constant fire-mitigation work, and restoring this 50-year-old house, barn and ranch that we have been blessed with.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Our stay at this property was absolutely delightful. It is off the beaten path, which is exactly what we were looking for. The home is stocked with all the things you might need. The owners even let us borrow their crockpot for easy meals! We enjoyed the path around the property, sunrises and sunsets on the porch, and nearby hiking at Hidden Treasure. It was the perfect mountain getaway we were looking for!

This property was perfect for what we were looking for. It feels remote yet only 5 minutes from downtown Black Hawk. The house was older but had the essential updates and was very clean. We were there mid April and lucky enough to get an inch or so of snow. The host was extremely responsive throughout the process.

A wonderful older home on an even more wonderful property. We had every intention of getting out and exploring the area, the desire to leave left us the moment we arrived. The incredible wrap around deck adds a level of nostalgia that you don’t experience often anymore. The tranquility of the forest offers endless relaxation and entertainment from the wildlife and views. We were lucky enough to have bouts of rain roll through to add a natural soundscape to our reading. Fantastic views! Our two old senile pups turned into Lewis & Clark on our little walks in the woods. We did see a moose so leashes are a must! Communication was very responsive. All around loved this property and will be back!

Awesome property, great hosts

We had a great week-long stay at Quartz Point Ranch! The house was quite large and comfortable, and had everything we needed to cook a big Thanksgiving meal. We really enjoyed exploring the property as well. Kris, Mike and Brandi were all so welcoming and we felt at home. Would definitely recommend a stay here!

Wonderful Mountain Getaway

I loved my stay here. I brought my 2 dogs and we would walk the property each morning and evening enjoying the quiet and wildlife (rabbits, chipmunks, moose, BEAR!). The house was roomy and the owners have obviously put a lot of love into all the details. It is close to some great hiking areas and cool CO towns like Nederland. Been gone a day and already want to go back!
