Welcome to your ultimate Rocky Mountain getaway, perfectly situated near the border of Park and Chaffee counties in the peaceful Ranch of the Rockies. Perched at nearly 10,000 feet on 5 secluded acres, this sprawling 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom home delivers modern and comfortable accommodations surrounded by miles of untouched wilderness. Whether you are seeking a restorative wellness getaway, a remote-work sanctuary, or a launchpad for summiting nearby 14ers, this retreat provides the perfect balance of communal gathering spaces and quiet serenity.
The Space & Sleeping Arrangements
This expansive home comfortably hosts your entire group with a highly flexible layout:
Main Level: Features a beautifully updated open-concept kitchen, a dining area that seats 12, and a spacious living room anchored by a cozy fireplace. Step out onto the large front porch to soak in panoramic views of Pike’s Peak and Black Mountain. The primary suite offers a king bed, private bathroom, and laundry. Two additional upstairs bedrooms (each with a queen bed) share a full hall bathroom with a shower/tub combination.
Lower Level: Offers two more private bedrooms, each with a queen bed and a TV, plus a shared bathroom featuring a walk-in shower.
Flexible Bedding: We provide three compact "floating" twin mattresses (real mattresses, not air beds) that can easily be moved around the house if guests sharing a room prefer separate beds.
The Retreat Space: Downstairs, you'll find a massive 34' x 13' yoga studio that opens directly to the front patio. It’s an incredible space to stretch out after a long hike, convene as a group, or enjoy some quiet meditation.
Modern Comforts & Amenities
Connectivity: Stay connected with fast, reliable 50 Mbps WiFi—a rare find at this elevation, making it great for remote work or streaming on the smart TVs.
Fully Equipped Kitchen: Prepare meals with ease using the high-heat propane stove and the countertop Berkey water purification system.
Climate Control: The house stays cozy year-round with baseboard heating and a propane fireplace. (Note: At 10,000 feet, the crisp mountain breezes keep things naturally cool in the summer, so there is no need for air conditioning!)
Conveniences: Enjoy an attached garage and a dedicated mudroom for storing outdoor gear and dropping snowy boots.
Location & Outdoor Adventure
This home is the ultimate basecamp for exploring Colorado's high country.
Hiking: You are just a short drive from world-class trailheads, including the Collegiate Peaks (Mount Princeton, Huron Peak, Missouri Mountain, etc.) and the Mosquito Range (the Decalibron Loop).
Nearby Towns: Enjoy a scenic, traffic-free 2-hour drive from Denver via Hwy 285. You are also only 30 minutes from the shops, restaurants, and amenities of Fairplay and Buena Vista.
Important Details to Note
High Altitude: We are located at nearly 10,000 feet. Please drink plenty of water and be mindful of altitude sickness, especially when arriving from lower elevations.
Road Conditions & Parking: The property is accessed via county and neighborhood dirt roads. AWD or 4WD vehicles are highly recommended. Our dirt driveway easily accommodates up to a dozen cars, with space for 6 without blocking anyone in.
Community Rules: Located in a peaceful, tight-knit community, this is strictly not a party house. Please respect noise levels and turn off outside lights before bed—you will want the lights out to see the incredible stargazing anyway!
