Sunday, January 31: The Joy of Building ... It has taken an extra
day of two to get to this round of updates. There are big rewards for those
who plan well and think out of the box. The building environment has changed.
We have excellent building sites and a new one to add to today for which you
the buyer will direct what is built. Gone are the days in which builders build
as much as they can as cheaply and quickly as they can on the shoulders of banks.
The bankers have eaten their lunch, dinner and more. We are in a more interesting
era now where the focus is on quality and uniqueness. The existing inventory is
for sale at below replacement cost. Half of it is begging for someone to embrace
the Joy of Building and upgrade at least a room or two. We are doing that ourselves.
Today a short wall is coming down that sectioned off a refrigerator to make room
for a bold new design that is out of the box. More on that later. We will show you
before and after photos like they do on the TV shows.
We have both existing homes and raw land for today's show and tell.
The new land choice is $109,000. That's more than builder's pay for more basic lots,
so that's why it really needs a home maker to step up and direct the show. You are
going to want expertise in working WITH the solid rock that is on the site; that
expertise is available. After you do it right, you'll have your driveway and garage
framed with natural rock that will make the site look like it's worth a quarter million.
The view from the top will be worth a million; you can put it up against anything in
Vail, Aspen or even Lake Tahoe. The cost to get the land to first base with a foundation,
utilities and parking will be near $200,000. It could be less if you are not so clever and
aesthetic with the rock, or maybe not. Sometimes it costs no more to do things in an
intelligent and artistic manner than what it costs to do them poorly. You can eat to be
stuffed, or you can eat to have your sensibilities opened, in a word, to be alive.
The following presentation has dramatic mood changes in the views:
Exquisite views over Shadow Mountain Lake to the Continental
Divide. Unique ridgetop location – on top of the world – with easy year round access.
WildAcres II: Lot 3, Block 5.. #96 Road 4643. 0.57 acre. $109,900
With enough skill, a diamond can be cut into the shape of a heart.

Eagles Spirit: #3. $439,000
Thursday morning, January 29: The rather uninteresting weather pattern
for the last month has awakened our more refined sensibilities. I am reminded
of the 36 Views of Mount Fuji by the famous 19th century Japanese artist Hokusai.
(He actually did over a 100 fine paintings of the mountain's moods and aspects.
He also changed his name every few years as he felt that he himself learned new things,
every year until his death at 89.) Here is Grand County, Colorado we have a number
of peaks that change dramatically every hour. On our Weather page are recent images
of 13,500' Arapaho Peak along the eastern most projection of the Continental Divide
and also an image of Twin Peaks. At a glance, the photos perhaps look bleak. However,
if you were there experiencing everything in the clear air, everything would feel much
more refined and subtle. Check back soon for more images and views from a most
interesting and new land choices we have to offer (price will be $109,000).
Wednesday morning, January 28: ... Winter Park carnival photos on weather page.
Much more coming ...
Tuesday, January 26: Lots of updates will be in before the weekend ...

Saturday, Jan. 2, 2010: the following presentation uses the aerial maps
that the Grand County Assessor office has made available on line.
The property for sale borders a huge tract of Recreation District land.
The www.MountainLake.com website that you are visiting here emphasizes
what in real estate is for sale AND what will be never for sale. It is the vast
national and local trust lands that are forever off-the-market which give the
remaining slivers of real estate their permanent resale value. The presentation
(below this paragraph) gives you a glimpse of the scale of these protected lands
that range from lakes, rivers, mountains, meadows, the Grand Lake Metropolitan
Recreation District's Golf Course and its larger undeveloped tracts
that adjoins the Golf Course and Nordic Center. The word Metropolitan in its
title seems odd. The local Recreation Districts from Grand Lake to Winter Park
are powerful entities with resources and activities that are astonishing for our
rural and pastoral setting surrounded by National Park, Forests and Wilderness.
As we noted on our weather page, the newly opened Grand Park Community
Recreation Center (by Winter Park) has attracted a huge number of people to
its water world while we wait for the snowpack to improve.
Two lots together for $69,000. The north part of the home site is by a
hidden and protected meadow. The west side borders Recreation District Land, ideal for
hiking and exploring with dogs and children! Peaceful, yet close to town!

zoning which allows for a range of uses from a simple residence to business use. For your

in part because these are highly visible properties in the heart of town. The Town Square
is half a block away, the public beach is just two blocks away. The south facing sites are
along 100' wide Park Avenue, one block away from Grand Avenue and the boardwalk.
They are close to a large and paved parking area where many visitors first park, especially
those with campers or trailers with recreational toys park. Each site is 50' wide and 100' deep.
Lots 10 and 11, Block 2. $115,000 each.

Saturday, Dec. 5, 2009: ... Global Warming Summit in Grand Lake
has been cancelled due to sub-zero temperatures .... When new snow
comes next week, it should be as fluffy as it gets. We have lots of updates
to share. Our office has been quite busy. The shortage of snow has affected
skiing and snowmobiling, yet the views are still terrific; incredible sunrises,
moonrise, water sprites dancing on the lakes. See the latest sky paintings at
our weather page. People like not having to remove snow or worrying about
sliding on their feet or tires. Later here (today) we will show you some beautifully
finished condominiums in town for as little as $275,000 brand new and finished.
Living in Grand Lake has never been easier.

Saturday, Nov. 28, 2009: ... Click to Weather page
for new images in our Sunrise Earth series. The Great Lakes area of Colorado is ideally
suited for glorious sunrises and sunsets because of the way everything is oriented.
The lakes themselves add in their own effects. People along Shadow Mountain Lake are
getting all sorts shiny ice reflections. Closer to Lake Granby or Grand Lake, there are morning
vapors that will continue until these deeper lakes finally freeze over. When I first moved up
to Grand Lake, some thirty years ago, I had an evening job that started at 5 pm at the Red Fox
Restaurant. Just as I had to report to work, I would be enthralled by the alpenglow working its
way up Mount Baldy. Before I came to Grand Lake, I lived in Boulder (as a graduate student).
I would climb up Flagstaff Mountain and gaze off to west the the really distant Continental Divide
beyond Nederland. I thought back then, "I have got to get closer", and so I did.
New photos added showing early morning mists ...

Owning property on Grand Lake can open doors for the entire family,
(especially the young ones) that you will be pleasantly surprised to discover. One of the more
hidden of these doors is to The Grand Lake Yacht Club, established in 1902 as the highest
registered yacht anchorage in the United States. The first entrance requirement is for you
to be one of the fortunate owners of one of the few hundred properties that border Grand Lake,
owning at least fifty feet of lake frontage. Then, you need to be sponsored by a Yacht Club
member who will invite you to some of the private events. If you are voted in, you will then
be eligible to enter a sailboat in its annual regatta.
The best of all worlds is to be a lakefront homeowner on Grand Lake with children or
grandchildren with an eye for adventure. They can directly participate in the Yacht Club's
annual sailing school and learn to do some amazing things (like roll over a sailboat without
panicking). After you become the full owner of the lakefront home featured below, the door
may open for you to join Grand Lake's Yacht Club. Below the home is a description of one
of the few unbuilt areas around the lake, two lots totalling 100 feet of frontage!
THE MEMORIES FOR YOUR ENTIRE FAMILY FROM SUMMERS ON
THE LAKE WILL BE YOUR LEGACY FOR GENERATIONS TO COME ...
Although sailing can be beautiful and thrilling when all goes well, part of the real value of
sailing school is to teach children how to stay calm and react intelligently in an emergency.
That is an invaluable lifelong skill to have.

The following choice fits well in our Pop the Top™ series. We can show you examples
in which builders have found it more affordable to increase the size of an existing home
than to start from scratch in buying land and preparing utilities. In some cases, the existing
roof was removed to make way for a luxurious level higher up. Buy now and enjoy it
affordably as it is. When you are ready to literally move up, Pop the Top! Ask us about
candidate homes. The following property is especially appealing because it comes
with two lots, a large detached garage, plus a setting with wide open views.
Imagine having a 1000 acre
front yard that borders a lake and is rimmed by mountains. Property is two adjoining
lots. Use the garage for storing building materials while you build your dream home
between it and Lake Granby, the largest of our lakes! Keep the 2 bedroom beach
cottage on your extra lot as your temporary quarters and then turn it into a rental.
(You could upgrade it using building materials left over from the new construction.)
Enjoy it all affordably as it is. Pop the Top when you are ready to move up! $365,000
