New! Beautiful & Spacious Modern Home on 8+ Acres - Peaks & Prairies Retreat

Get away from it all at the Peaks & Prairies Retreat! A beautiful and spacious 5 Bedroom/3.5 Bathroom home on more than 8 acres of land that features a seasonal creek bed, rolling hills and a skyline dotted with aspen and pine trees. The home features modern amenities, boasts incredible prairie views and offers the perfect space to relax and unwind for the entire family.

Enter through the spacious, heated, double door garage bay (a rare find in this area!) where you will have all the storage space you need for hunting supplies, ski gear, hiking equipment, or anything else needed for your high alpine adventures. As you enter the home through the Garage, the mudroom offers shelves and hooks and nooks for all your adventure gear.

The spacious ground floor Entertainment Room offers a comfortable couch and rocking chairs around a smart TV with streaming options available for login, a wet bar with mini fridge, foosball table, toys and games for all ages. In the Hallway between the bedrooms, the Central Ground Floor Bathroom offers a toilet, standard vanity and glassed in shower. To the left of the bathroom, the Winter Pond Bedroom features a hybrid Queen size bed fitted with luxurious cotton bed linens, a ground floor window with prairie views facing East, a rustic armoire and a large desk - perfect for computer work and game play alike! On the opposite side of the hallway is the Wildlife Meadows Bedroom. This room features 2 hybrid Twin trundle beds fitted with luxurious cotton bed linens, a cozy leather accent chair, a spacious closet and 2 ground floor windows with prairie views facing East and South.

Make your way up the staircase and as you enter the upper level of the home, you are greeted by the wall of floor-to-ceiling South facing windows of the Great Room that feature gorgeous, elevated views of the rolling hills and prairie grass. Walk out of the Great Room door to the spacious, partially covered, elevated deck where you can enjoy afternoons sunning on the patio furniture, or evenings grilling on the propane BBQ grill. Inside, comfortable window side seating around the corner soapstone wood stove provides a cozy central living space for relaxing in solitude or lounging days away with those you love. Settle in for meal time or a good board game around the high top dining table of the Great Room, with seating for 6. Additional dining space can be enjoyed at the cozy kitchenside breakfast nook, adorned with its own moose paddle chandelier. The well appointed Kitchen features ample counter space, new stainless steel appliances, and ensures that you have everything you need to whip up a delicious meal. Start your day off with a fresh and tasty pot of coffee while you enjoy the beautiful views down the tree lined Northern side of the property, where you can often catch an early morning glimpse of the resident elk, fox and mule deer. Adjacent to the Kitchen is a spacious Laundry room with an attached Half Bathroom. With the full size washing machine and dryer available for guest use, there is no need to waste precious vacation time making the trek to town and waiting at the laundromat!

The Master Suite features a King size bed fitted with luxurious cotton bed linens, desk work space, a changing table, large windows with elevated west facing views, walkout access to the large elevated deck and a spacious en suite bathroom. The large En Suite Bathroom has a spacious closet, huge double vanity, private toilet, corner shower, and a beautiful freestanding bathtub.

The Central Upper Level Bathroom offers a toilet, large double vanity space, a bathtub/shower combo - so you can choose to start the day with a quick and refreshing rinse or you can sink in for a long, hot soak after all the activities a day in the Colorado Rocky Mountains may afford.

To the left of the bathroom is the Misty Mountain Bedroom featuring a Queen size bed fitted with luxurious cotton bed linens and 2 large windows with elevated prairie views.
Across the hallway, the Winter Roads Bedroom features a Queen size bed fitted with luxurious cotton bed linens, a spacious closet, a large window with prairie views and walkout access to the covered portion of the elevated deck.

The large elevated decks on the front and back of the home offer comfortable seating, a propane BBQ grill and incredible prairie views. The Ranch of the Rockies subdivision is home to a variety of wildlife and this spectacular location affords opportunities to observe many different wild animals right on the property. There is plenty of parking to the side of the home for trailers and large vehicles if you plan to bring dirt bikes or ATV's to use on the nearby trail systems in 4 Mile. The Peaks & Prairies wide driveway is plowed in the winter and the roadways are maintained by the county, but 4-WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLES ARE REQUIRED from November through May due to the frequent snow storms in this area.

Park County is an activity center of the Colorado Rocky Mountains, it's a great "Base Camp!" If you can think of an outdoor activity, you will probably find it within 10-20 minutes of the cabin. Activities include skiing, snowboarding, hiking, mountain climbing, snow-shoeing, horseback riding (winter too!), ice climbing, fishing, hunting, rafting, snowmobiling, 4-wheeling, mine exploration, canoeing, kayaking, and much much more.

Family trip centrally located.

Very nice home, great views, isolated yet not to far from the activities we wanted to do. Communication with the hose was great! Only one minor suggestion might be to add a few more chairs to the back deck to enjoy the view with family.

Peaks & Prairies is the Perfect Peaceful Place

The Peaks & Prairies property was great for our family get away. It comfortably slept 12, with 3.5 baths, and plenty of open kitchen, living room, and den space to accommodate all of us. This peaceful place located outside of town was situated between river rafting, zip lining, hot springs, and fishing on the Arkansas River and Antero and Eleven Mile Reservoirs. We found it to be the perfect peaceful place to rest and relax after a full day of adventures. Communication with property mgmt was easy and we found them to be responsive to our one and only inquiry. Would reserve again and would highly recommend.

Great Place

This is a beautiful home that is very spacious and private. There is plenty of room for parking which was great as I was pulling a 36 foot trailer. The family and I would definitely stay here again if we are back in the area. A couple of things that could be improved is if there was a tv in the upstairs living area and possibly an upgrade to the furniture in both family room areas.

Relax with views and quiet!

This house is beautiful and very nice quality. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Communication is superb with the property managers! Porches upstairs are awesome for morning coffee, saw deer every day. Master suite is spacious and lots of windows and huge bathroom. Kitchen is designed well and all of our group fit in it fine while cooking (nice gas stove also). Laundry room setup was also great and we used the washer/dryer each day. We brought extra stuff and did NOT need to (as in linens, towels, etc.). The house if fully stocked with everything you’ll need. It’s centrally located so easy to run for the day to Aspen, Breckinridge, Vale, Colorado Springs, and more. Enjoy your vacation! We will be back! Only con is the sulfur water smell with sediment in the water. We brought bottled waters for drinking and gallons of water for coffee, etc.

Cousin Camp!

Great, spacious and well-stocked! Close to many fun adventures. It was great to have cable TV since it was hard to use WiFi to login to streaming services. Issues: Water is extremely sulphuric. Bring your own bottled water and gallon water for coffee, teeth brushing and drinking. One bathtub does not properly drain, but otherwise it was wonderful to have 4 bathrooms. The trundle beds also did not have any bedding.

great location, clean and roomy

The house was a great location for our needs. The house was clean and roomy. There are a few cons: no sheets for the twin size trundle beds, no extra sheets in the whole house actually so had to pull a flat sheet off of a full bed to make due; the house needs a few more items in the kitchen, i.e. more hand towels, dish rags, pots/pans, etc. They did have enough for us but thankful we packed an instapot and large stock pot. Pros: clean, roomy, beautiful views, communication with the owners was fantastic! We had an issue with the dishwasher and they got back to us right away! We will definitely stay in this location again in the future!!!

We thoroughly enjoyed the property. It was a good location that had scenic drives every direction you went. Everything in n the house was new or fairly new and clean. The beds were comfortable The only issue that was of any relevance was the smell of the water. It had a strong Sulfur smell and taste to it when we got there. It did dissipate with time and was almost completely gone by the time we left. A heads up about purging the lines would have been nice, but it was not a deal breaker as we had brought some bottled with us. Other that the water, we enjoyed our stay very much! Beautiful place and area!!!
