Our lovely mountain home is in the Aspen Brook neighborhood, which nearly borders Rocky Mountain National Park. You can hike out the front door of our home and be inside the park in a few minutes by foot, wandering along the banks of the Big Thompson River into Beaver Meadows, a vast grassland surrounded by big mountains. It's a huge elk grazing and breeding area, so wildlife abound around our home.
The property is close to all the attractions -- just a few minutes by car to the Rocky Mountain National Park Visitor Center, Beaver Meadows Entry Station (for vehicles), and to downtown Estes Park. The best food in town at Bird and Jim is about a mile away.
Our family-friendly home has a king maser suite, two queen bedrooms, an open living/dining area, and a basement with a game room, reading nook, pool table, piano, and a pullout sofa in front of a cozy fireplace.
The neighborhood is a quiet, safe and upscale HOA with classic modern mountain homes. It features a picnic area, common area along the river, plus a playground for kids.
The HOA has additional rules that we have to abide by: no pets; no RVs/trailers/motorcycles; no smoking even outside; and 9pm-8am evening quiet hours.
