House on a Difficult Lot

Bauxite House - front exterior

The Placer Valley home was built as a spec house utilizing a very difficult lot. The old growth trees were kept as much as conditions allowed.

Located in the beautiful Placer Valley in Park County, Colorado, just 20 minutes from Breckenridge and skiing or two and a half hours from Denver. The lot, .94 acres, is beautifully wooded with many old growth trees.

The home is ideal for a mountain getaway, as a second home, or a primary residence. A large deck is available on the upper level for outdoor activities.

The lower level is a walk-out design taking advantage of the elevation. The lower boundary is on a cul-de-sac, so the property is adaptable for a driveway to the basement level off the cul-de-sac.

Services, shopping, and schools are available in Fairplay, just six miles from the house; the town of Alma is only two miles away.

Fish in Montgomery Reservoir or hike the many trails that abound in that area. The Bristlecone Pine area is above the property and attracts those interested in this very unique historical area of trees.
