Glacier View Meadows is a mountain community located approximately 35 miles Northwest of Fort Collins, Colorado. Consisting of 1,042 2-5 acre lots, (half of those remain vacant) and spreading over 2800 acres, Glacier View Meadows has some of the most beautiful building lots in Larimer County. Many lots within the subdivision abut Forest land, and there are several designated open areas within this peaceful mountain subdivision. Spectacular views of the Mummy Range, hiking trails, 3 private ponds, massive rock outcroppings, mountain meadows and heavy timber make this a beautiful place to live.
Community services provided by the property owners association include, snow removal, road grading, stocking the ponds, and for some lots: community water and sewer. Other lots in the subdivision have the right to drill their own wells and install a septic system.
Volunteerism & a strong sense of community shine through the eyes of the Glacier View Fire Department, the Glacier Gals ( monthly potluck suppers and fund raisers), and the Eco committee, just to name a few. I hope to showcase some of the pioneers that settled here and all of these volunteer groups so that you can meet some of the people who make Glacier View Meadows a very special place to live.

For generations, the Historic Pot Belly Deli and Bar has been a favorite with locals and tourists alike.
The little pot belly stove was an original caboose stove from a Union Pacific caboose, and the huge stone fireplace in the back dining room helps create that warm ambiance for group get togethers. A great place to meet your friends and play a game of pool, get a good meal, or sit out on the deck and enjoy the wonderful mountain views.
A popular watering hole, the bar features state of the art sound system, two flat screen TVs, pool tables and darts. Sit down at the bar with 28 of your (new) friends! 'Lots to wet your whistle at the bar - with 240 brands of hard alcohol, bottled domestics beers and 8 beer taps.
Everyone knows where to meet on Saturday night for Karaoke! We love our Pot Belly! Everyone is invited and welcome there. The Pot Belly is also for sale and in need of a new owner ~ if you were looking for a business, this is one of the best to own in Red Feather Lakes!
This is the back dining room.
Ok, sometimes I get a little crazy. After living here for 12 years, and being in the Real Estate Business for awhile, I started wondering... what is it about the Red Feather Lakes area that would make people want to live here?
Why would someone want to move here? Build here? I hate to say this, but the honest answer was,"I don't know".
I can already hear the cries of indignation "Love it or leave it", but I DO love it: my question was "Why?"
I started to panic, thinking if I didn't know why I wanted to live here, how in the world was I going to find any buyers who wanted to? What does this area have to offer? " Nothing"?
Nothing, but some space between your neighbors.
Nothing but peace and quiet, fresh mountain air, time to enjoy your family,
Nothing but hiking, fishing, hunting-
I'm not 'into' the last three... but certainly, a lot of other people are!
I prefer the more quiet activities, like watching the hummingbirds, taking my grandkids down to the lake, reading a book, sitting in the hot tub at night and looking at all those stars!
Seeing the occasional bear, deer, moose or (yikes) mountain lion is "nothing" but thrilling
Ah........all those little nothings.
Nothing to do with a city, I-70, or crowds..
I guess I remember why I moved here, and why I love it.
"Nothing" sounded pretty good to me!

Specializing in mountain property in the Red Feather Lakes area. " A day in the mountains will always soothe your city soul."
I am a Colorado native, and grew up in Denver.
I've lived in Glacier View Meadows, a mountain subdivision in the Red Feather Lakes area since 1996. In the early 70's I moved from Denver to Gunnison, Co. ( yes it is cold there!) with my husband and daughter, where I discovered my love for small towns and living in the mountains.
Before I became a Real Estate Agent, I worked in the Title Insurance business for over 30 years, in Denver, Gunnison and Fort Collins -assisting buyers, sellers, real estate brokers, attorneys and lenders get to the closing table. As the Office Manager, I created many positive relationships with those customers and my co-workers.
I'm interested in listening to my clients, staying in constant communication and going the extra mile to make their real estate experience a positive one.
Let's get started! Let me put my combined 34 years of real estate experience work for you!
The Red Feather Lakes area is vast, with small residential vacant lots, cabins, ranches, large mountain homes, and huge tracts of land surrounded by 600,000 acres of beautiful Roosevelt National Forest.
Each property is unique, and the topography is consistently diverse, just like each person in a transaction is unique.
My experience in providing great customer service, problem solving, listening, and getting your questions answered will allow you to buy or sell, with the confidence that I care about you. I live by the Golden Rule and treat people the same way that I would like to be treated.
Buyers, I understand it an important decision whether you are moving here or buying recreational property here. I will answer all of your questions and maybe some you didn't even think about. Living in the mountains and purchasing mountain property is different than buying something in the City -- It just makes sense to use a local Realtor(r) who not only works here but lives here too!
Sellers, choosing a local Realtor(r) that knows the area and has the resources and knowledge to market your property is one of the best decisions you will ever make. Having the power of United Country's world wide marketing services makes Ponderosa Realty a unique brokerage in the area. Being local, I'm never far away from my listings and can provide additional services for you if you're an absentee owner, too!
United Country not only provides world wide exposure for our listings but also has a Home Mortgage Division, Home Protection Plan and a Land Finance Division -extra tools in the toolbox to help both of my buyer and seller clients!
Make sure you choose a REALTOR® who will provide top-notch service
and meet your unique needs.
I am dedicated to you and to your real estate goals!

Dear Mary, The family and I greatly appreciate all of your help with the cabin. Your friendship was invaluable to us and we hope to see you soon. Please accept this little gift... S.R & family

Geri and I were totally pleased with everything that you did for us, and that you were very nice and pleasant to work with. The property you sold us was exactly as you described to me over the phone and we were totally pleased that we were able to close on the property by faxing the documents. My wife and I work long hours and with the economy in the state that it's in we didn't want to miss any work. So you made the transaction easy for us and we would definitely do business with you again.
It's nice to know that there are people like you that aren't only hungry to make a sale, but that you take interest in both parties being happy in the end. So I believe it was a win, win outcome for us all. Thanks again for your kindness and really caring about us not just as another sale for commission but as a friend. Please tell the lady at the restaurant that we will be back for more pie soon. Thanks, again Jim and Geri.

(SOMETIMES I AM LUCKY ENOUGH TO WORK WITH VERY FUN and FUNNY PEOPLE)
Mary was a pleasure to work, easy going and not pushy. I use to have a lot of money, but she found a way for me to spend it all. She has made me broke. So if you want to keep your money, stay away from her!
She was very patient when pursuing answers for my questions, and I thought I had a lot of them. I never felt rushed to hurry though anything, it was a very relaxing experience. I would highly recommend using her for your real estate needs.

Now that the purchase is a done deal, Helen and I would like you to know how we appreciate your patient efforts to make it happen. As we think back, we realize how hard it was to bring about a mutually satisfying contract between us and the sellers...
You stayed with us through the offers and counteroffers till we reached what we feel was the best compromise for price, furnishings, and the seller financing...
Buying real estate can be unpleasant because so much money is involved, and you were certainly very instrumental in making this purchase so successful.
Most sincerely, Fred and Helen Koch

Mary, I'm glad you heard it from Jon first yesterday how much we appreciate all that you did. You were better than family to us and we really can't express that appreciation in words. We hope you feel it. You did a lot of extras for us by checking on the house, propane, etc. And it was so awesome of you. This sale would not have gone this smoothly without you and maybe not at all. Please stay in touch, we'll miss you!
Jon & Barb
