Some of you are looking for second homes in Central Colorado a little away from the crowd, maybe on the edge of Vail Valley real estate. You may be drawn to Vail Valley homes nestled in the picturesque landscapes around the tiny town of Wolcott. Vail Valley's snow-capped mountains are year-round reminders that Mother Nature still reigns.
After Wolcott, a patchwork of prime Colorado ranch lands punctuate the landscape all the way west to Steamboat Springs. East of Wolcott, the rapidly growing Eagle County real estate in Vail Valley includes world-class ski resorts at Beaver Creek and Vail mountains along with world-class golf communities such as Cordillera CO real estate.
Wolcott is just close enough to fine dining, boutique shopping, health services, and a large variety of possibilities for associations and clubs. The Wolcott Yacht Club, Cordillera Equestrian Center, wildflower hikes, bridge groups, hunting buddies, ski clubs—you name your interest and can most likely find others with similar zest for it. Some of the best fly fishing and whitewater in Eagle County and Vail Valley Colorado real estate are right here.
The Wolcott community has matured dramatically during the past decade. The latest developments add a dash of sophistication that is comfortable for city folk who are looking to build their dream homes in Vail Valley. For quietude and mountain serenity in the hills above Wolcott, Bellyache Ridge real estate features plenty of wildlife, secluded fishing, and visiting birds.
Red Sky Ranch, a $100-million development with 87 home sites and two championship golf courses, turned 780 acres of mountain terrain into an exclusive golf community. From the golf courses designed by Tom Fazio and Greg Norman, the simply stupendous views, including Castle Peak and the back bowls of Vail Mountain, the expansive home sites at Red Sky Ranch offer just the right amount of space and country seclusion. Within the gates of prestigious Red Sky Ranch Golf Club are also 27 single-family enclave homes at Juniper Trail. For under $2M, residences feature indoor/outdoor living spaces, banks of windows, telescoping doors, terraces, and exceptional views.
In 2007, home sites ranged from $350,000 to $1,300,000 in this portion of Vail Valley real estate, reflecting the large sizes of available land. Homes range from $729,000 to $670,000. In the prior three years, homes sold for anywhere from $360,000 to $5,000,000.
