Griffin Family Legacy Home at Windcliff: Panoramic Rmnp Views, 4 Bedrooms, Borders Park

Art reflecting the fine tastes of the Griffin family brightens every wall --- an Indian Chief in war bonnet, duck art, and a mystic mountain landscape by Georgia O’Keefe from the Metropolitan Museum of Art. There is an original canvas by C. Harper. Motifs of mountain sheep, marmots, and eagles chime in. The master bedroom is presided over by the framed works of the master himself --- Ansel Adams. And, speaking of framed works, the massive window at the foot of the master bed can barely contain the grand view of the Rocky Mountains that welcomes your every awakening. If TV seems too intrusive while you tarry at Griffins’ “Eagle Head,” there are books and music aplenty.

There is a donkey snuggled on the great bed in the second master suite downstairs. Honest! And, two more bedrooms ensure comfortable repose for every member of your party. Such is their alignment that the mountains come bursting in at first light every morning with tempting offerings of adventure and fun.

Step out back just across your driveway. There is an invisible, but significant, boundary there. Cross that imaginary line best known to the deer, elk, bear, and bobcats and you are setting foot in Rocky Mountain National Park. Where else could you gaze out your front window all day long at the splendor of snow-dappled peaks in Rocky Mountain National Park, and then step out your back door as evening calls to partake of the same National Park so intimately at hand?

A Native American “Dream Catcher” adorns the stairwell at Griffins’ “Eagle Head.” It is said in Indian lore that “dream spirals” are drawn to the Dream Catcher. Good dreams are allowed to pass through a small opening in the middle on their pathway to fulfillment while bad dreams are caught up in the Dream Catcher’s web to vanish with the first rays of a new day’s sun. Surely your dreams of a memorable vacation stay will be fulfilled in the splendid mountain retreat offered by the Griffins. Visitors galore have inscribed their heartfelt sentiments…….

• “We took a ‘flower trek’ and found pussy toes, Pasque flowers, golden banner, mouse ears, larkspur, whiskbroom, parsley, tansy aster ………mesmerizing!”
• “…..elk, deer, hawks, coyotes. What a wondrous place!”
• “…..snow sledding, sleigh rides, skiing at Eldora, feeding six deer from our deck…..such memories!”
• “Such luxury away from home!”
• “Rocky Mountain High --- indeed!”
• “What a great time we had here. Such a well-designed and well-stocked home --- the perfect base from which to enjoy the National Park.”
• “The stars of the Milky Way amazed us!”
• “We couldn’t ask for anything more!”

Although Estes Park [Rocky Mountain National Park’s gateway community] is only 15 minutes distant by car, you will always feel securely tucked away at “Griffin” --- separated from the “hustle and bustle” of people and their traffic. The Windcliff enclave embracing the “Griffin” residence is a private residential community comprising 260 acres on the sunny western slopes of Ram’s Horn Mountain. It is served by a single entrance to private roads with no through streets or heavy traffic. It is truly a world apart!
