Glacier View Meadows, is a beautiful mountain subdivision near Red Feather Lakes, Colorado.
Most of the roads within the subdivision are named after mountains in Colorado, and 28 of those roads are named after "Fourteeners".
A "Fourteener" is a Mountain whose peak is over 14,000 feet in elevation. In addition to the elevation, the peak must be 300 feet above any saddle which connects it to another nearby mountain. The greatest number of the Nation's "Fourteeners" are in Colorado, however there are higher mountains in Alaska, California and Washington.
55 Colorado Peaks rise high into the clouds above 14,000 feet, that is 2 1/2 vertical miles above sea level, and well above timberline! Climbing all of the Fourteeners is popular among mountaineers.
The Colorado Mountain Club is the official registrar of Colorado's Fourteeners and they also maintain the list of every person who has climbed all 55 of the high peaks.
People who live in Glacier View Meadows, could say they climbed Mount Massive, or Torreys Peak, or Grays Peak all in one day......but that would just be the names of the subdivision roads and not the "real" 14er mountains!
Just another interesting fact about our area.

The Colorado Division of Wildlife says that "Bears have people problems"
Although the "Bear Activity" is moderate in the Red Feather Lakes area, in other parts of Colorado, there have been some pretty exciting and grisly accounts of bear encounters.
Recently, a bear decided to go for a stroll in an Aspen fur shop, looked around, and then left! I guess he didn't see anything he liked there, or perhaps it was too hot outside to purchase a fur?
Another bear decided to break into a house while the family slept, and help himself to all the items in the pantry!
Sadly, it was reported last week, that a 74 year old woman was killed by a bear near Ouray, Colorado. Two bears were killed by law enforcement, too. One was the murderous male bear weighing 400 pounds, and another aggressive but innocent bear that wandered onto the crime scene was killed also. Apparently, the woman often fed the bears, and had done so for several years.
Once a bear has been fed, or can get human food, garbage, bird seed, etc., they will continue to come back.
According to the DOW, a bear can easily smell food 5 miles away! There are many things we can do to keep ourselves safe and by doing so, we can keep the bears safe too.
Once they find food, they will come back for more.
Bird feeders can attract bears! The Colorado Department of Wildlife recommends not feeding the birds while bears are active, and of course do not keep garbage or recyclables where bears can get to them. The bears learn that it is OK to go near humans and their homes, when they can easily find a snack there.
Generally shy, a bear will run away from perceived danger. They become dangerous when they are used to being around humans, surprised or cornered.... Or when they are in your home!
For more information about living and camping in bear country please visit the Colorado Department of Wildlife.
It is estimated that there are 8,000 to 12,000 bears in Colorado.

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.
I worked in the Title Insurance business for over 30 years in 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 hope my calm, caring attitude and good sense of humor will bring balance to any transaction.
My goal as your real estate agent is to earn your confidence and trust and make your real estate transaction a pleasure.
I love meeting new people and helping them explore our Red Feather Lakes area. I love watching their kids run through the woods, and climb on the rocks. I picture them enjoying many happy family times together, on their new mountain property. This is one of the many joys of working in the real estate business in the mountains.
A day in the mountains will soothe your city soul!
I lived and worked in Fort Collins for many years, I am familiar with the City, and most areas in Larimer County.
I am not opposed to working in any area of Larimer County, and would appreciate the opportunity to work with you, no matter where you are located. I am here to assist you, listen, and help you reach your desired real estate goals.
Let's get started!
The Red Feather Lakes area is vast, with small residential vacant lots, cabins, ranches, large mountain homes, and huge tracts of land surrounded by the 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.
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
