親切なエルクメドウズホーム - 快適で家族向けの壮観な景色

I grew up in the Catskill Mountains. During college, I heeded the call to "go west" with a friend. Through a serendipitous set of events, we found ourselves camping on the hillside above Ouray on a beautiful, crystal-clear summer night, with a zillion stars in the sky, next to an abandoned mine and rushing stream. The next day we drove the Million Dollar Highway to Silverton. I was forever captivated by the beauty and peace of this area and have been drawn to it ever since!

After working in Boston, then in Denver/Boulder, I moved to California in the early 1980’s and have lived in Southern California ever since. I work as a business/technology consultant and managed a small portfolio of properties. I love to travel and enjoy all things outdoors including hiking, mountain climbing, skiing, biking, and river rafting. Elk Meadows offers all these activities and much more.

Elk Meadows Hacienda was offered as a VRBO from 2016 to 2017 and was universally loved by the many guests that visited. The house offers a perfect base-camp for tons of outdoor activities, as well as a comfortable, cozy place to simply hang out, relax, enjoy the stunning views and ever-present wildlife. I hope you too will find enjoyment in this spectacular corner of the Rocky Mountains!

I learned to appreciate the outdoors and nature growing up in the Catskill Mountains in upstate New York. I want my daughter, who is growing up in LA, to have a taste of the treasures of nature, to experience the truth so eloquently expressed by John Muir: “The clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness.”
When I saw this property, it's amazing setting, and abundance of deer and other wildlife, it profoundly resonated with me and I want to share it with others.

The house was built following passive solar principles. It is extremely well-insulated and very energy efficient.

When was the last time felt you could drink water out of a tap? Elk Meadows Estates HOA provides fresh Rocky Mountain spring water drawn from the Beaver Creek drainage. It tastes great, relies on a solar-powered pump, and you may drink it unfiltered out of the tap!

This is a very comfortable home that is built around amazing views of Mount Sneffels and the San Juan range to the South. Whether you are sitting in the living room gazing out of the cathedral windows or sitting on the deck, the mountain views and nature dominate your experience. As you gaze at the ever-present deer that graze around Elk Meadows and the yards of this house, you will feel far away from urban life and very close to nature.
