This mountain acreage offers ... |
|
|
|
Imagine sitting on your deck sipping a beverage, watching the sunset over the Colorado Rocky Mountains. The views are simply spectacular. Then you notice several deer grazing as an American Bald Eagle sours overhead. Earlier that day you noticed numerous elk tracks on your land. They must have passed through during the night. You can hardly wait for darkness. You still cannot get over how many stars are in the night sky.
You savor the peace and quiet, smiling to yourself as you recall the hectic pace of life you left behind.
The air is filled with the sweet fragrances of alfalfa in the farm fields and sage brush -- fresh, mountain air.
What will you do tomorrow? Will it include golf, fishing or skiing? Perhaps a peaceful day on your property taking in the majestic views and watching the wildlife.

real
locals are not found in a corner cafe or down the country road. Sharing your property and the area are some of Colorado’s most amazing wildlife. While you sit, relax, and enjoy the views, occasionally one of the locals may walk or fly past. |

However You Seek Inspiration
Colorado Will Transform You |
|
|
|
Golf
|
At last count, there are 3 golf courses in the area. You will feel like Hercules when you tee off. Due to Colorado's thin air, most people are able to hit the ball 10-15 percent farther. Although keeping your head down might help your game, be sure to keep your eyes open for wildlife sharing the course with you. Geese, wild turkeys, deer, and elk enjoy the greens and fairways as well. |
|
| Fishing 
|
Out here, you can hear yourself think. Away from everything, anglers take pleasure in the abundance of lakes and rivers. Here you will enjoy the challenge of catching a variety of trout and other species of fish. Map of Area Lakes and Rivers |

Winter Sports
|
As the premier ski destination in North America, the 26 Colorado ski areas boast the best variety of skiing and ski-related attractions on the continent, perhaps even the globe.
At the first snow in early fall, you will start to notice everyone in Colorado wearing a grin. There is something magical about the first snowflakes. The first snow signals the start of another glorious winter season full of fun.
Winter in Colorado often means as much fun in the sun as in the snow. After the snow falls, frequently the sun is shining the next day. So what is it going to be today, skiing, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, snowmobiling ... or how about building a snowman?

| Snowmobiling 
|
Combine the thrill of a high-speed ride with the beautiful scenery of the snowy mountain environment and you will discover why snowmobiling is so popular in Colorado. |
|
|
Snowshoeing 
|
With more than 3 million acres of public land, you can find many miles of snowbound trails and roads for snowshoeing. |
|
| Horseback Riding 
|
Horseback riding is an idyllic activity that exemplifies both the past and present way of life in the American West.
To experience Colorado's ruggedness, you may want to do a little horseback riding. Riding is a great way to access the remoteness of the backcountry in the National Forests.
If you don't have your own horses, don't worry, there are stables and outfitters in the area. |
|
| Biking 
|
|
There are hundreds of miles of |
|
backcountry roads and trails |
|
around your Colorado property. |
The grandeur and the elevation create a mountain biking haven that promises to thrill both the experienced and the inexperienced.

Historic Train Rides 
|
|
Two Historic Trains
In The Area
|
Take a ride on history while viewing the Colorado Rocky Mountains and valleys.
At one time, the boom of the Colorado's mining communities depended entirely on their access to railroads. Today, you can take a ride on a historic train.
-
In the southwestern part of the San Luis Valley, the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad runs 64 scenic miles from Antonito, Colorado to Chama, New Mexico. With 120-year-old steam engines, this historic narrow-gauge train has changed very little from the days of glory.
-
The second train travels a historic route across the San Luis Valley, primarily from Alamosa, Colorado to La Veta, Colorado. This train operates year-round, including during the beautiful winter months.

Can you imagine how much fun it would be
to spend the Holiday Seasons in Colorado? |
|
Have you ever cut your own Christmas Tree? |
|
|
|
When I was young and growing up in the southern Colorado mountains, each year my family and I went to a remote forested area where we would cut our fresh Christmas Tree. We always toped a very tall tree so that it would not be noticeable and the tree would live on. Once the perfect tree was located, I was given the task of climbing the tall tree with a bow-saw in hand. It makes the heart pump a little faster when the top of the tree falls after cutting it and you are sitting there at the very top of a tall tree with the view of an eagle.
These are memories I will never forget. Neither will you and your children. |
