About Park County, CO

Ahh, the fall weather is starting to come in, so what better time than to load up the kayak and hit the water? If you don’t have a kayak, there are several outfits along the Front Range which rent the boats by the day.

Eleven Mile is off of Hwy 24, west of Woodland Park. A short drive away from the bustle of Colorado Springs, and you find yourself not only staring at mountain views, but water too. Eleven Mile allows boats, but there are plenty of areas to paddle without much wake. This time of year is especially great as most boaters are done for the season and the tourists have left for now until the Aspens completely turn their golden colors and lose their leaves.

In working on this blog post I was searching for a good photo and came across Brent Daniel's photo (see above) and immediately fell in love with the photo and what it seemed to communicate about the day with the colors captured, kayaking in Colorado and especially with the dog.

My happy buyers are lovin' their newly purchased "little piece of pie in the sky". This nearly new home is on 1 acre of peaceful mountain living among the beautiful wild flowers and aspens now gradually turning their fall colors. This cabin is adorable near Jefferson CO. It takes about 2 hrs. to travel there on Hwy. 285 through Conifer and Bailey, but the drive there alone, is breathtaking and the time goes by quickly.

There are some great buys on cabins in that area now, and my recent buyers of this property snagged a great one! Enjoy........... my happy buyers. I will be thinking of you enjoying your wonderful porch on those warm fall days coming up hearing and seeing nothing but the gentle breeze and an occasional bird flying by as you read your book or sip your coffee or wine.

Guffey is one of the best mountain communities in Colorado.

Guffey, Colorado is a quaint little mountain town located off of Hwy 9 and Park County Road 102 in Park county Colorado (altitude of 8600 ft.). The Royal Gorge outside of Canon City is down the road on Hwy. 9 to Hwy. 50. Cripple Creek is back up the road into Teller County. The central location of this small community makes it an ideal spot to live in a peaceful setting with the conveniences of the city nearby.

Mountain cabins, traditional residences, green and solar homes, large land tracts and stunning Mountain Trophy homes are all available in this area of Colorado. Many unique opportunities exist in the area. If you are looking for a quiet mountain setting with a few good neighbors then Guffey may be the paradise that you have been missing.

Guffey sits in a Caldera, a cauldron-like volcanic feature usually formed by the collapse of land following a volcanic eruption. You will find the hill ouside of town on CR 102 is quite steep but the views of the Peak to the East are stunning. Eleven Mile Reservoir and Spinney Reservoir are only a few miles away. Mountain views, beautiful sunsets and all varieties of wildlife are plentiful in the region.

Rita’s Café is a nice place to stop for a cup of coffee, a sandwich, or a few of Rita’s delicious pastries for the road. If you need heartier food and drinks then stop in at the Freshwater Saloon and enjoy a cold beer and onion rings. If you stay a little later you can often catch some local live music.

Guffey is more than a stop on a day trip. The community and the surrounding outlying area have over 500 year round residents. A charter school is also located in town in addition to the Library and Community center. The Library has become so popular that an addition to the building is currently under construction. Linda at the Post Office in town will make sure to forward your mail if you aren’t a year round resident.

Second homes accounted for 33% of all new and existing home sales in 2007 according to NAR. Speculative buyers are disappearing and serious buyers are now emerging. Many people who had been looking for second homes and vacation retreats simply could not find what they were seeking because of the tight inventory that existed in the past.

Many areas are seeing high home inventories. Park County Colorado has some of the most pristine and secluded land in Colorado. But the area is still only one hour to Breckenridge or Colorado Springs. Views and wildlife abound. Almost everything is priced to sell. Many of these second homes have large acreage.

Peace and quiet is achievable. It can be a little eerie when you hear the elk bugle, but more often the sound is magical.
