By RealEstateColorado.com

Retreat into small town Breckenridge, Colorado real estate, where the world comes to your doorstep.  This quaint, Swiss-style ski town is only 90 minutes from Denver real estate and metropolitan amenities.  Yet, Breckenridge real estate is perfectly situated next to five major ski resorts, the beautiful white sailing and fishing at Lake Dillon, and within the infinite adventures of the Rocky Mountain forest.

Live right in town and choose from a variety of lovely homes in Breckenridge.  Just off Main Street, in the historic areas off Washington, Lincoln, Madison, Jefferson, Adams and down to Carter Park, there are the worlds of beautifully decorated Breckenridge lofts, Breckenridge condos, restored historic homes—all very near the post office, enchanting restaurants, grocery stores, business services, medical help, and, of course, the slopes.  Snowlots, Victorian Gables, Placer Ridge, Gold Creek, Powder Ridge, Panorama Alpine, Hermit Grove, Forest Haus, Hinterthal, Falcon, Forest Haus are some options to check on. 

From Cold Creek to Goldflake III with charming homes in-between, you are sure to find beauty and gratitude in the sparkling eyes, radiant hearts, well-maintained homes and the pristine environment.  Just walk through town and greet the passersby.  Enjoy a bit of independence from your wheels; your car may even feel neglected by season’s end!  Soon you will be able to hop onto the gondola right in town and access the slopes via the great outdoors.*

But first, stroll down Main Street and historic downtown where a fantasia of top-quality restaurants, shops, bars and activities.  This is the largest historic district in Colorado!  Repeatedly awarded for its dining and après ski festivities, the population swells on weekends and welcome camaraderie warms the heart, numbing the spirit to the cool evening temperatures.  Recent developments occur mostly on the outskirts of town, preserving the Norman Rockwell feel. 

*Honoring the Norwegian folks who founded this ski community, the Town has taken many steps herself to make sure that Nordic skiing trails are laced through the area, offering you even one more way to transport yourself around the Upper Blue Basin and the extraordinary opportunities to enjoy the expansive alpine scenery, natural habitat and the recreational resources.  Nordic skiers of all ages take advantage of the access to the backcountry.  So, jump onto a trail curling through town and head out to feast on the wonders of mountain life. 

With the White River National Forest to the west, the Eagles Nest Wilderness area to the northwest, Arapaho National Forest directly north, Pike National Forest to the east and south, nature is ready for your snowshoe, ski and hiking boot. 

Another way to ditch your auto is to venture into a kayak or canoe.  Most of the wonderful species of freshwater fish in the area will move over and give you room to pass by.  Find yourself a little waterfalls or romp in the springtime wildflower meadow.  You’ll never really be alone, but all one with the universe of beauty.  Welcome home.
