The last stretch of road is surrounded by aspens, the air thins and sweetens at nine thousand feet, and the noise of ordinary life simply stops. This is a true retreat: a private home on its own wooded acre and a half of Colorado high country, screened by mature aspens with real space and real silence in every direction.
Privacy is the rarest mountain amenity, and here you have it in abundance. The deck and windows look onto trees, not neighbors. Mornings are slow, with coffee and light coming up through the leaves. Evenings cool beautifully under some of the darkest, most star filled skies in Colorado.
Inside, the home is built for the way people actually relax. A kitchen made for real cooking, and a huge private 1.5 acre lot for rest and privacy, and thoughtful touches throughout, because the difference between a good stay and a great one is in the small things.
For all its seclusion you are minutes from Silverthorne and Dillon and a short drive from Keystone, Breckenridge, Copper, and Arapahoe Basin. Ski all day and be home by a fire before the rest of the mountain has loaded the car. In summer there is the reservoir, the trails, the fishing, and long golden light. In fall the hillsides turn to gold.
People come for a ski trip and book again for summer. The reason is the combination: privacy, comfort, setting, and care, all in one place, on your own wooded acreage with the mountains at your door. We keep this home to a standard we would want for ourselves.
Enjoy the aspen covered mountains, let the altitude and the quiet do their work, and give yourself a few days in a home built to slow time down.
