About this property

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.

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!

Perfect retreat

We stayed at the Quartz Point Ranch to celebrate my husband's birthday, and the property made for the perfect retreat. The views are stunning, the property had lots of area to explore, and the home was stocked with everthing we needed (and then some). There were numerous thoughtful touches that truly made this feel like our home away from home. The caretaker and owners were very kind, and communication was excellent. We would love to stay again.

The house is very clean and perfect for 3 families - lots of room and large dining table. The description of the access road and directions are good but important to pay close attention to. I highly recommend an suv or truck with high clearance for the bumps and rocks in the road. The kitchen was well stocked as were bathrooms with lots of soft towels! My main questions were how to engage the heaters bc it was a cold weekend and I also would have liked to know in advance that the refrigerator ice maker was not available (but ice trays were provided). We saw a moose and hiked the trails. The owners were kind and very communicative! We recommend and hope to stay again. (Also I’d bring my own fan bc it’s super quiet in the area but I’m not used to that!)

Wonderful Mountain Home

We stayed just over a week at QPR and enjoyed it. It was a little scenic slice of Colorado. Kris and Michael were wonderful hosts. The house was perfect size and a place we could really unplug to escape. It had most everything one would need. The bed was quite comfortable and fitted with flannel sheets to keep you warm during the cool mountain nights. I have already recommended it to a friend, and would recommend it to you, too.

Beautiful Home and Location!

This is a wonderfully updated home with incredible views and plenty of great amenities. The house is well stocked and has tons of space. Kris was super easy to reach helped out with any questions I had. The house is fairly secluded and surrounded by lots of beautiful open space and amazing views. This is nice and close to Black Hawk and Central City, the Maryland Mountain trail system, and tons of activities. I can't wait to come back in summer and see this beautiful place in a new way!
