Set on just over an acre in Placer Valley, this renovated three-bedroom, three-bath home backs directly to Pike National Forest, with public land along the rear property line. The setting sits in Park County, Colorado, at the foot of the Mosquito Range, roughly 15 miles and under 30 minutes south of Breckenridge over Hoosier Pass. The home is positioned above the valley floor, so the main living space, the deck, and the bedrooms look out across a forested basin to conifer ridges and the high alpine peaks behind, with aspen and pine on the lot framing the outlook.
Inside, the open-concept main level rises under vaulted ceilings, with light hardwood floors and walls of windows, including triangular transom glass, that pull in daylight and the valley view. The updated kitchen carries white shaker cabinets, stainless appliances, a tile backsplash, and a peninsula with bar seating. A freestanding pellet stove anchors the living area, and a loft overlooks the great room. One bedroom opens through a glass door to a private deck with the same mountain outlook. Recent improvements include a new boiler, fresh interior and exterior paint, a resurfaced driveway, and a 2025 garage door, with the hot tub and decking added in 2023 and a new washer and dryer in place.
Off the main living space, the deck steps out to a hot tub, gas grill, and string lights set among the aspens, framed by the ridgeline. A versatile lock-off suite holds its own private entrance, bedroom, full bath, and living room, operated as a winter short-term rental. With short-term rental projections of up to $60,000/year, this home offers a rare investment opportunity in the heart of the Rockies. The area runs year-round: skiing and riding at Breckenridge, fly fishing along the Middle Fork of the South Platte River, 14er hiking from Placer Valley in summer, snowshoeing in winter. Disclosures and improvement records available at request.
