At an elevation of 9,060 feet, the views are truly breathtaking, but the winter weather can be quite formidable. The county maintains the roads, ensuring safe access. Nevertheless, during persistent storms you may need to shovel a bit. Our plow service works to clear the driveway after each storm, though there may be occasional delays during more severe weather events. Prime parking is immediately off the road, and only steps from the porch.
Additionally, it's important to note that the higher altitude means thinner air, which can affect your physical well-being. Please be mindful of the potential challenges and exertion that may come with residing at this elevation.
-500 sq ft studio with well-utilized space.
-Starlink internet service is extremely fast, and usually tests between 60 and 200 MBPS with around 21 ms of latency. Satellite is heated to keep clear during snow storms.
-You will be at 9,060’ in elevation on a private road. The road is plowed by the county, often before 7 am but sometimes is delayed.
-A private road cuts through the property: driveway on the left, house immediately on the right. Luckily, if you park at the end of the driveway, next to the road, you will be parked as close as possible to the house.
