272 W Meadow Dr Unit A Vail, CO 81657

Artfully situated at the confluence of Gore and Middle Creek, with flowing water on two sides, 272 West Meadow Drive offers a magical setting that was hand-selected by one of Vail's early investors. Offered to market for the first time, it is now your turn to create a family legacy in one of the most desirable locations in Vail.

A Zen-like stroll along the banks of Gore Creek leads you to the Village at Lionshead, with ski lifts, shopping and dining less than five minutes from your door. Come summer, your family will enjoy hopping on the adjacent Vail bike path, leading to Vail Village, the golf course and beyond. Fly fishing in the Gold Medal waters of Gore Creek is just steps off the back patio, and the Vail Library and Dobson Ice Arena very nearby. You'll also value the security of knowing that the Vail Health Hospital is just across the street. Locations such as this are rare, indeed.

The main floor of the home includes the living room, dining room and kitchen, along with a relaxing deck overlooking the back yard and Gore Creek. A spacious master suite and executive office area, perfect for working from home, privately encompass the full upper level. Downstairs there are three additional bedrooms, all with direct access to the back yard. Expansive windows throughout the home provide a direct connection with nature.

The back yard is a magical setting in and of itself, a place where you'll enjoy coffee and your favorite book each morning, and then entertaining family and friends in the evening, all accompanied by the natural music of Gore Creek.

The two-car garage includes tons of extra storage space, providing ample room for your vehicles along with all of the mountain toys.

Chosen as ''the place'' by a family who could have done so anywhere in Vail, opportunities such as this come available but once in a generation, at best. There's only one... a home which leaves all who pass by whispering to themselves ''I wish I lived there!
