These are views in January; scroll down for another. Click on photo to see the view continued far to the left
where one can even see a bit of Grand Lake. Try to imagine how it all comes alive from month to month,
changing from deep blues of water to clouds and mists suspended over the lakes.

Just below the land on its east side there is a narrow belt of open space.

There are big rewards for those who plan well and think out of the box.
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.
