Tucked just south of Breckenridge, this exceptional 4-bedroom mountain home overlooks the protected Monte Cristo Creek corridor, where dedicated open space, tranquil beaver ponds, abundant wildlife, and breathtaking mountain views create an extraordinary alpine setting. Step directly from the property to the creek, cast a line for native brook trout, or simply enjoy the peace and privacy of this remarkable natural landscape. Expansive windows fill the home with natural light, while the thoughtfully designed floor plan offers a walkout recreation room, a versatile bonus room that can easily serve as a fifth bedroom, a dedicated laundry room, and an attached two-car garage. The expansive wraparound deck provides a front-row seat to panoramic views of Northstar Peak, Quandary Peak, and the acres of permanently protected open space surrounding Monte Cristo Creek below. Whether you're watching moose wander through the valley, listening to the gentle sounds of the creek, or returning home after a day of hiking, skiing, biking, or fishing, this property offers an authentic Colorado mountain lifestyle that is increasingly difficult to find. An outdoorsman's paradise.
