You step onto your back deck, the rustle of the trees and the gentle murmur of the creek greeting you like old friends. A crisp Sauvignon Blanc is already chilled and in hand, while surf and turf sizzles on the grill. Later, it's movie night in your private theater with guests staying comfortably in the in-law suite. But for now, you're simply soaking in the life you've created. Tomorrow, you'll lace up your boots for a hike along the Elk Dance Loop, eyes peeled for moose, or maybe take a scenic drive down to Breckenridge for a tasting at the distillery. Next week? You're hosting a dinner party in a home built for gatherings. This is more than a house-it's your sanctuary. Life is exceptionally good here.
