Wahatoya and the Spanish Peaks

The Spanish, Mexican, Utes, Apache, French and even the Aztec all had names for these beautiful mountains. Travelers, Explores, Trappers, Miners and Settlers have all used these mountains as a land mark. Wahatoya means breasts from the earth, or mothers breasts. Today most people call these mountains the Spanish Peaks.

We are so very lucky to have the championship Grandote Peaks Golf Course right here in La Veta. This week the Golf Resort opened their new dining operation. Our Bachman Real Estate Office enjoyed the first seating by holding our weekly sales meeting at the Club for breakfast. Not just any breakfast, but a beautifully presented breakfast wonderfully prepared by none other than our local Sales Agent, Jim Vietti. Following breakfast with Jim and Dave, Kelly Popejoy gave us a tour of the new Grandote Homes under construction. The two architect designed Medditeranean style homes were a big hit to all of us. Then Thursday evening, Vietti and company served 20 people to a delightful 4 course gourmet dinner.

The course is open and in great condition so grab your clubs and come join us. If you would like a brochure or tour of the new model homes, just give me a call to set things up for you. Meanwhile, check out the course and the Model Homes at http://www.grandotepeaks.com/

Hi friends and neighbors, welcome to my new blog. As a "newbie" I will ease into this by suggesting that if you have an interest in rural mountain lifetstyles of southern colorado, then this may be the blogsite for you.

I will post a wide variety of comments dealing with local news, views and gossip around the area. And how they may relate to the local real estate market or recreational activites that the Southern Colorado lifestyle can offer. And I will post articles from my newsletter, my LaVetaRealty website and my LaVeta-Cuchara blog. And I will always try to answer your questions concerning the La Veta and Cuchara area.

So, welcome to my blog. It's sure nice to be here with you.
