Seen from the deck, this home in the Black Hawk area of Colorado has stunning, panoramic views of the continental divide – with James Peak to one side, and the snow-tipped peaks of Mount Evans on the other. Naturally, you’ll likely spend all of your time right out there on the deck either grilling lunch or simply enjoying a drink of whiskey as you survey the surroundings. In the colder months, you’ll fall in love with the autumnal yellows and oranges of the dying leaves, whilst hummingbirds are known to visit the area in the warmer weather. From the front porch, or upper floor balcony, you can also do a fair bit of stargazing, but not before setting off for an entire day of exploration. Indulge your nature-loving spirit by hiking trails in the natural parks and take a group photo at every river or lake you encounter. Stop off in Nederland afterwards to stock up on supplies and enjoy a meal at one of the restaurants whilst you’re out. Return to the peace and quiet of this home and its rural surroundings and get the snacks out for a family game or movie night next to the fireplace. Before... treating yourself to a luxurious soak in the tub, enjoy a nightcap out on the balcony so you can appreciate the unpolluted night sky before bed. The little balcony does lead off from the master bedroom, so you can also nip out before sunrise to watch the day break every morning.

About Denver
Denver is at an altitude of 5,280 feet, and you can tell that the people here take their mountain lifestyle seriously. With a decidedly rugged outdoorsy spirit, this city is primely placed by several astounding mountain ranges where skiing, snowshoeing, mountain biking and hiking are casual morning activities, within just a few hours’ drive of town. The town itself has plenty of merits of its own – you’ll find yourself...
