About this property
Pet Friendly Contemporary Ranch Home with Stunning Views on Main Elk Creek!
This unique contemporary home with art, books, views and all the amenities is a special place for outdoor enthusiasts who also want space, privacy and fast wifi in a spectacular setting on Main Elk Creek. The White River National Forest is your neighbor! The cottage like setting is conveniently located within an hour's drive from Aspen and Vail airports, 180 miles from Denver and 70 miles from Grand Junction airports, and 25 miles from Rifle airport. The location is 8 miles from New Castle and 20 miles to Glenwood Springs. The surrounding area offers endless opportunities to hike and bike, boat the Colorado, fish the rivers and creeks, play golf at many courses close by, though a daily walk around the ranch is often the cure for the busy guest who may need to work a bit while on vacation. The owner will be at the property to brief guests when they arrive. Month long stays can be arranged with a 25% discount available.
