Peaks & Prairies Retreat — Modern High Alpine Escape with Endless Views
Get away from it all at the Peaks & Prairies Retreat: a spacious, modern 5 bedroom / 3.5 bathroom home set on 8+ acres of high alpine landscape at approximately 9,738 ft. A seasonal creek winds through the property, aspen and pine line the skyline, and the rolling prairie views stretch uninterrupted in every direction. Built for families, multi-generational gatherings, and groups ready to unplug together.

✨ Recently upgraded (April 2026)
We've completed a full overhaul of the home's water system. Because the property sits at nearly 10,000 ft on a remote alpine parcel — the same reason the views are so endless and unobstructed — water here requires a more sophisticated setup than a typical home. Guests now enjoy clean, odor-free water throughout the house, alongside the rest of the modern finishes and appliances the home is known for.

Arriving & settling in
Pull into the heated double-door garage (a rare find in this area) — plenty of room for hunting gear, skis, hiking packs, or whatever the adventure calls for. The mudroom just inside has shelves, hooks, and nooks for everything you'll want close at hand.

Ground floor
The Entertainment Room is the casual hangout: comfortable couch and rocking chairs around a smart TV (bring your own streaming logins), a wet bar with mini fridge, foosball, and a stash of toys and games for all ages. The Central Ground Floor Bathroom offers a toilet, vanity, and glass-enclosed shower.
Winter Pond Bedroom — Hybrid Queen bed, luxurious cotton linens, east-facing prairie views, rustic armoire, and a large desk that doubles as a work or gaming setup.
Wildlife Meadows Bedroom — Two hybrid Twin trundle beds with cotton linens, a leather accent chair, spacious closet, and east- and south-facing windows. Great for kids or extra guests.

Upper floor
The staircase opens into the Great Room, where a wall of floor-to-ceiling south-facing windows frames the rolling hills and prairie grass. A corner soapstone wood stove anchors the seating area — the heart of the home on a cool evening. The high-top dining table seats six, with extra seating at the breakfast nook beneath its moose-paddle chandelier.
The kitchen is well-appointed with ample counter space and new stainless steel appliances. Mornings here are best spent with fresh coffee at the window, watching the resident elk, fox, and mule deer move along the tree-lined northern edge of the property.
A spacious laundry room with full-size washer and dryer (plus an attached half bath) means no detours to the laundromat on vacation time — a real win on longer family stays.
Master Suite — King bed with cotton linens, desk workspace, changing table, west-facing windows with elevated views, walkout access to the upper deck, and a generous en suite with double vanity, private toilet, corner shower, and a freestanding bathtub.
Misty Mountain Bedroom — Queen bed with cotton linens, two large windows with elevated prairie views.
Winter Roads Bedroom — Queen bed with cotton linens, spacious closet, large window, and walkout access to the covered portion of the upper deck.
Central Upper Bathroom — Double vanity and a bathtub/shower combo — quick rinse in the morning, long soak after a full day outside.

The outdoors
Elevated front and back decks wrap the home with comfortable seating, a propane BBQ grill, and uninterrupted prairie views. The 8+ acre property is a wildlife corridor — elk, mule deer, fox, and more pass through regularly. Plenty of side parking for trailers, dirt bikes, or ATVs if you're heading out to the trails in 4 Mile.

Park County as your base camp
If you can think of an outdoor activity, it's likely within 10–20 minutes of the property: skiing, snowboarding, hiking, mountain climbing, snowshoeing, horseback riding (yes — even in winter), ice climbing, fishing, hunting, rafting, snowmobiling, 4-wheeling, mine exploration, canoeing, and kayaking. A true Colorado Rocky Mountain base camp for families and groups of every kind.

Good to know before you book
