A ridge-top retreat, just shy of 9,000 feet elevation, with plenty of room for the whole family. With 36 acres of private land near over 700 acres of public land, you can really escape into the gorgeous Colorado mountains. When you're done exploring you can snuggle up in the living room or loft and watch the sunset over the Sangre De Cristo mountains. A wrap-around deck is perfect for star-gazing and gathering with friends. (Firm max 8) The space Our acreage and nearby public land is dramatic: steep, wooded and rocky. Hikers will marvel at the scenery from the top of the nearby peak. The million-dollar views from all the decks and picture windows make staying in just as rewarding. This property is a photographer's dream. The open-concept kitchen / breakfast nook / living room on the main floor is flooded with natural light and warmed by a cozy pellet stove. Throw-blankets abound. :) The kitchen is fully stocked with all cooking implements, plates, flatware, glasses and so on. Every cook will enjoy using this space. The lower-level living room has a pool table, couches and access to a lower-level deck! A charming gas fireplace warms the lower level. Please be aware that the 3/10 mile long, bumpy drive is not suitable for ultra-low clearance vehicles, and 4WD or chains are required for very bad weather conditions. We take pride in the unique privacy of this retreat, but to give you the option of staying connected, we do offer StarLink Internet at 89 MBps. Come up to Starry Peaks Lodge to get away and reconnect with what matters! Guest access You will have full run of this sprawling property!
