"Wilderness" is a modern mountain retreat just three miles south of Breckenridge, in the Town of Blue River. Unlike many properties in the area, it is easily accessed from Highway 9 and only a five minute drive to Main Street dining/shopping and ski resort gondola parking.
Wilderness is a high efficiency, green design by Blu Homes (as featured in Dwell magazine) completed in 2009. The property is located on a quiet road, spaciouswith dramatic feature of its open floor plan, are the twenty foot ceilings, and walls of windows that truly bring nature into the main living space - and is complemented by the modern finish and furnishings found throughout.
Wilderness guests will enjoy a fully equipped chef's kitchen, complete with Bosch appliances and large prep island/breakfast bar. The custom dining table seats ten comfortably, and the breakfast bar seats four. Guests will love the outdoor space with ample seating and views of the spruce and aspen forest. The outdoor gas fireplace is a wonderful gathering spot year round, and an oversized hammock and kids sandbox are welcomed additions for the summer months.
Wilderness also offers a new outdoor spa or hot tub for our guests to work out the kinks of your ski or cycle day! The outdoor living space was not compromised by the addition, as an extension to the concrete patio was constructed to accommodate this new amenity.
Wilderness has three large bedrooms: master (one king), guest (one queen), bunk room (four twins), plus an open loft area for wildlife viewing. It offers one full bathroom located near the guest sleeping quarters (with full size HE washer/dryer) and an en suite bathroom in the master bedroom with large shower. Four adults and four children are comfortably accommodated in the bedrooms.
Wilderness is outfitted with two HD TVs, full premium cable channels, Xfinity DVR, and a Boston Acoustic sound system in the main living space. The loft area also has a desk with LCD monitor for connecting laptop if work is in order, and the entire home is served by high speed wireless Internet with Xfinity.
Its dramatic contemporary design, comfortable living spaces and convenient location, will make your stay at Wilderness a truly unique Breckenridge experience for the entire family.

Sarah and I are proud parents of a five year old daughter, are avid skiers, hikers and enjoy Breckenridge and Summit County year round.
Why they chose this property
We love the proximity to Breck for sure (skiing, dining, nightlife, etc), and easy access from Hwy 9, but also it's relative isolation, and the natural beauty of the property.
Wilderness is an example of modern architecture that you don't find often in the area - it's simple, functional, efficient... and absolutely stunning.
Why don't they build them all this way?
What makes this property unique
Architecturally interesting home, adjacent to NFS land, with trail access.
Proximity to multiple top ski resorts (Breckenridge, Keystone, A-Basin, Copper, Vail, Beaver Creek)
