The 145-acre property is set in Colorado ski country.
This 145-acre estate property outside Edwards, Colorado, is all about enjoying the great outdoors.
The aspen-dotted rolling hills contain 10 miles of custom trails designed for hiking, snowshoeing and snowmobiling. Along the paths are four picnic and play areas to rest and take in the scenery. One such stop features a wooden drawbridge and a timber castle.
But there’s more to do than explore the grounds. A stocked trout pond and a pistol and rifle range provide other recreational options.
Or head out for a day of skiing and snowboarding. Beaver Creek is just 13.5 miles away and Vail Ski Resort, 22 miles.
Windows run the length of the stone, wood and glass home.
