About this property

Beautiful view 2 miles above sea level

A place apart from the ordinary , two miles above sea level, 1800sq. ft. this owner built home offers a serene place to visit and experience the world from this unique perspective Enjoy the changing aspens and crisp air. We built this very spacious house with all the contentious details not found in regular construction. Our master bedroom and bathroom on the main level has outstanding views of Mount Evans all the way to the plains of Denver. We just added a deck that is on the main level on the east and south side of the house as well as a hot tub located in an inclosed part of the house on the west side.
Also a bedroom on the lower level with a full bathroom. Great room down stairs with televisions both floors. Pool table on the ground floor. Our house is built for the extreme weather conditions of the area, we heat with a combination of radiant floor heating and a wood burning stove, this home is so much fun in the winter, we call it a snow globe home and no air conditioning required in the summer. Walk out the door and you are on the trail to more adventures, forest service land and four wheeling trails are right outside . The very popular St. Mary's hiking trailhead is nearby. We are THE destination place for ruby throat and rufus hummingbirds, "Hummingbird happy hour at the Clark's". They have moved on but we know they will be back mid May We built this home in 2005 designed for the extreme environment of life above 10,000 ft. Four wheel drive vehicle required in the winter.
This property has three security cameras. Two on the front porch to keep track of guest coming and going and to check on snow levels. The other is in the mechanical room pointed at the boiler and the sewage lift station. The sound is turned off of course. We have also installed a battery back up system that will prevent any loss of data while working on your computer. We have Broadband internet service.

We look forward to hosting your next getaway.
There is a $50.00 per pet fee for pets.

About the host

Host profile image
Glenn and Sarah Clark, married in 1997, that was the beginning of this adventure for us. Glenn moved me and my two children to Colorado. We moved into this small cabin in Evergreen. Glenn has been a master wood worker all his life and was finishing a spec house in Evergreen. After finishing that house we took off for a few months to get the family established in the mountains. Then we started working. We are both very hard . working , ethically minded individuals so together we were dynamite. In 2000 we purchased our first properties in the St Mary's subdivision. We began work on a spec house and soon realized we loved this place, as we continued working on the house we decided we would put both our houses on the market and we would live in the one that didn't sell. Of course the cute little cabin with walls in Evergreen sold at a nice profit and we were in the circumstance of needing a place to stay while we finished the house. It was February and Glenn said "We will get a motor home", this was before reality TV and tiny houses but we way ahead of things. We finished that beautiful house and another one on Texas Drive.. We built this house in 2005 and found ourselves with two house in 2008 and it was really hard on us. The housing market was awful and no prospects of selling so Glenn said " We'll make the Texas Drive house a vacation rental". No one else was doing vacation rentals at St Mary's at the time and guess what? It was a good idea> We did VRBO for four years and eventually sold the house. Glenn became a luthier and we enjoyed our life. A couple of years ago we decide we wanted to move to town so we came back to the VRBO idea.

Why they chose this property

There are 5 Clark houses on the mountain plus some remodels, Glenn is truly a gifted woodworker and his passion for build is evident in this house. WE explore the thingness and no-thingness of empty space. Pets are OK, We are 420 friendly, no tobacco smoke in the house. We are just getting this house on line for rentals so we will be making improvements continuously, The trails are right out the door, snow a pair of snow shoes is available. We are at the end of the subdivision and the road to the James Peak 'Wilderness, very private and safe.
