Have you visited the "bionic" condominium developments of Beaver Creek, Vail, Telluride and Aspen? Do you dream of a simpler downtown village where local families actually live in nearby homes and you join friends in the park, at the local theater, at gourmet restaurants, or down by the beach?? Do you long for mountain streams and water sports - fishing, boating, jet skis, waterskiing and wakeboarding? Do you miss having the local flavor of "mom and pop" stores and restaurants? Then, come to Grand Lake! The downtown core of Aspen still feels folksy and intimate, "end of the road" in the winter, but you know that the prices of simple homes there are out of reach. Grand Lake offers the character of old-time Aspen. It's a bit out of the way, yet well worth the discovery. Grand Lake is beyond Trail Ridge Road at the western entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park and it too is tucked privately near the end of a road in the wintertime. Enjoy the 90 minute drive from Denver to the alpine skiing mecca of Winter Park/ Mary Jane over dramatic year-round Berthoud Pass. The deep fresh snow is the price for living in skiing paradise. From Winter Park, it is a scenic 40 minute drive away from traffic through Fraser and Granby to Grand Lake. Before you reach Grand Lake, there are waterfont and lake view opportunities in real estate along Lake Granby with views out across the Continental Divide that put you in the middle of the action - summer, winter, fall and spring. Over one hundred miles of World Class groomed snowmobile trails begin in the National Forest lands just west of Lake Granby, the largest of our three great lakes. When you own your own home in these mountains, you can time your driving to Denver, Boulder, Colorado Springs or wherever business call when the roads are most likely to be clear and open. We have a weather station and frequently post updates on what the weather has been doing, especially after we get a fresh foot of powder snow.
