Renowned for the most consistently good snow in the Rockies, Keystone Colorado has become one of the most popular resorts in the nation.  And it is only a shuttle away from Breckenridge real estate. 

Founded in 1970 by Max and Edna Dercum as a beautiful place to spend time with friends and family, today Keystone real estate stretches seven miles along the Snake River, over three mountains, up 3,100 vertical feet, over 2,870 acres of terrain and vibrant villages, reaching an elevation of 12,408 feet.

Keystone Resort real estate is tucked near its three unique mountains:  Dercum Mountain, North Peak and The Outback.  Keystone Resort villages offer condos for sale in Keystone, chalets for sale in Keystone, Keystone dream homes for sale and a horse properties for sale in Keystone. East Keystone is tucked the closest to the large mountains and has some of the newest and most luxurious condos, townhomes and homes with spectacular views of Keystone Mountain and outdoor hot tubs and full-sized pools in which to relax.  West Keystone is very popular for summer guests with its proximity to golfing and its great summer deals. 

Lakeside Village properties and conference center are perfectly located along the scenic Keystone Lake with winter ice-skating, a lighted ice-hockey rink and cozy Christmas trees and benches arranged out on the ice.  (They say that skating is open every season until the Zamboni falls through the ice in March.)  In the summer, kayaks, canoes and paddle boats dot the glistening waters.

Skiing can continue for twelve hours a day!  There are broad cruising runs great for intermediates and beginners, but the experts will head for the wooded glades of the Outback for that breathtaking deep-powder challenge.  A51, an expanded day-and-night terrain park, is more and more popular, along with the Nordic skiing center and the legendary snowshoe treks.  Also, visit nearby Arapahoe Basin, Keystone's sister hill and the highest ski area in the country.

Park your car and still access everything from grocery stores to medical clinics.  Twenty lifts and a free shuttle service move thousands of people around the slopes, restaurants, bars, stores, boutique shops, conference facilities and accommodations, golf courses, mountain-biking terrain, horse stables, spas, and more.  The renowned restaurants can please any palette. 

After mastering the slopes and golf courses, here are a few more unique experiences for your autobiography:  1) Breckenridge Backstage Theatre for memorable live entertainment. 2) Breckenridge Ice Arena and Outdoor Rink at an altitude of nearly 9,600 feet, America’s high-altitude training facility, 3) Gold Mine Tour to experience gold panning during the summer season in Eureka Creek or indoors during the winter months—see real miners working and operating equipment, 4) Good Times Adventures’ tours guided by a professional staff to elevations of up to 11,585 ft., 5) Peak 8 Fun Park in summer, 6) Whitewater Rafting Adventures for all skill levels and ages, 7) In September, watch The Keystone Climax, a weekend of championship bike racing and let the whole family enjoy the colorful scenery in the high country on bicycle!

Speaking of the family, children and youth living in and near the resort attend the Summit County Schools.  As can be expected, the local residents take very good care of the pristine environment entrusted to their care.  Shuttles, recycling, using renewable and 0% emissions energy source of wind turbines and many other programs are common here.

From live concerts to first-rate conference facilities, festivals to family fun, and so much more, Keystone’s healthy village life will keep you coming back or will inspire you to live here year round.
