About This Home

As of August 2025

Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in the sought-after Valley of the Sun neighborhood, this charming 674 sq ft mountain retreat proves that great opportunities come in small packages. Thoughtfully designed to maximize space and comfort, this home lives large with a smart layout, open living area, and inspiring views through the wall of window. Set on 1.23 private acres with sweeping valley vistas, it offers the kind of peace and quiet that’s increasingly hard to find. Moose and elk often wander through the property, adding to the magical, close-to-nature feel that makes this place so special. Built in 2018, the home features fresh interior paint, durable laminate floors, and a dramatic wall of windows that floods the interior with natural light. The kitchen is outfitted with a gas range, butcher block countertops, open shelving, a full pantry, and there is even a separate laundry room a rare find in a home of this size. The main level includes a private bedroom and full bathroom, while the cozy sleeping loft above adds flexible space for guests or a creative retreat. An unfinished walkout basement offers even more potential for future expansion, storage, or a workshop. For added peace of mind, the septic inspection has already been completed to ensure a smoother, faster closing process. And if you're bringing furry friends, they'll feel right at home too—complete with a custom dog ramp leading up to the deck for easy access. Located just minutes from Fairplay and an easy drive to Breckenridge, Valley of the Sun is a beloved mountain community known for its natural beauty and access to year-round outdoor adventures. Hiking, biking, fishing, and skiing are all within reach, and with National Forest land nearby, the possibilities are endless. Whether you're looking for a weekend escape, a minimalist full-time residence, or a basecamp for all-season exploring, this small but mighty mountain home is ready to welcome you.
