Alpine Escape with Wetland and Forest Views

Tucked into a quiet corner of Blue River, just three miles south of Breckenridge, this elegant mountain retreat offers an experience of true tranquility. Surrounded by the protected wetlands of Goose Pasture Tarn and backed by hundreds of acres of pristine national forest, the home blends rustic charm with refined comfort. With direct access to gently flowing streams, ponds, and forest trails, it offers a front-row seat to Colorado’s alpine beauty in every season.

Thoughtfully appointed, the cabin features two serene bedrooms and a spacious loft with a queen-size Murphy bed, comfortably accommodating up to six guests. The open living area invites connection and relaxation, anchored by a wood-burning stove and stocked with firewood for cozy evenings. A well-equipped kitchen makes preparing meals a pleasure, while three private decks extend the living space into nature. One of the home’s most remarkable amenities is the outdoor hot tub—tucked in a secluded nook and perfectly positioned for stargazing under clear mountain skies.

The setting surrounding the home offers a rich experience year-round. Winter brings the convenience of cross-country skiing and snowshoeing right from the back door, in addition to world-class skiing just minutes away in Breckenridge. In summer, mornings begin with coffee on the deck to the sound of Spruce Creek, followed by fishing, wildlife observation, or a peaceful walk on the “Moose on the Loose” trail. Autumn is particularly breathtaking, with golden aspens lighting up the landscape and views of Boreas Pass adding dramatic beauty to the backdrop.

Nearby Breckenridge, a quintessential Colorado mountain town, provides a vibrant mix of outdoor adventure and charming amenities. Explore historic Main Street with its boutique shops and fine dining, or spend the day on the slopes at Breckenridge Ski Resort. In warmer months, mountain biking, fly fishing, paddleboarding on Maggie Pond, and scenic gondola rides are all at your fingertips. The area also offers acclaimed hiking trails, including Mohawk Lakes and McCullough Gulch.

This well-appointed private residence combines the feeling of remote seclusion with access to some of the Rockies’ most beloved outdoor destinations. Whether soaking in the hot tub after a day of adventure or watching wildlife from the deck as the sun sets over the wetlands, every moment at this mountain home is shaped by peace, comfort, and natural beauty.
