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.

About Denver

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.
