1511 Prospect Mountain Drive, Estes Park, CO 80517

Some mornings you'll watch the birds work the air over Twin Sisters before you'vefinished your first cup of coffee. That's the rhythm of this Venner Ranch Estates home, a private perch on 1.57 acres where the view opens wide and town is still only minutes away. Two living levels each open onto a full-length deck, both facing the same wide sweep toward Twin Sisters and Mary's Lake. Morning light, evening quiet, and the daily birdshows all happen from the same side of the house, so wherever you land, the view comeswith you. The middle level holds the main living room, kitchen, dining, and the primary suite, all just a step from the upper deck. Downstairs, a second full living space works for guests: two bedrooms, a full bath, laundry, and a family room with a wet bar and refrigerator, opening to its own deck. A spiral staircase links the levels inside; deck steps connect them outside. Company gets room to spread out, and so do you. Up top, a three-car garage handles cars, gear, and the toys that come with mountain life, with an office alongside for the days you'd rather work from up here. The home wears its 1983 roots with some retro-feeling character, updated where it counts: a metal roof in 2011 and fiber-cement siding in 2018. You're 4.3 miles from downtown Estes Park and 4.9 from the Beaver Meadows entranceto Rocky Mountain National Park, close enough for a morning trail or dinner in town, farenough to feel like you've left it all behind. Privacy on one side, the whole valley on the other. Come see how the light moves across it.
