If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to buy a gathering place in the mountains for your kids or grandkids, top-selling Grand County broker Sheila Bailey has a fun open house for you on Labor Day at family-friendly Granby Ranch.
Granby Ranch is 90 minutes west of Denver, wrapped in great scenery, bike trails, an 18-hole golf course and its own family-oriented ski mountain, with lodge and year-round fine dining.
Stop in and tour newly opened 3- and 4-bedroom resort models with ski-in access, and you’ll get a free brunch and enjoy live music. And you’ll see the gorgeous views from these new designs—of the Continental Divide and the high country around Rocky Mountain National Park.
Bailey has new homes priced from the $600s, some ready for move-in before ski season starts—and some furnished. Mortgage broker Patrick Langhans of Cross Country Mortgage has special financing available — just 5.625% APR 30-year fixed—WAY below the rates you’re seeing this year.
That low rate is available whether you opt for one of the lowest-priced homes, or for one of the designer models you’ll tour on Saddle Mountain, with views that only custom home buyers have obtained before now.
To the east, Saddle Mountain overlooks Fraser River Canyon, a stretch of trout water that drew President Dwight Eisenhower to fish (there’s a cabin down the slope where “Ike” reportedly stayed). That was decades before the pretty setting lured a ski mountain and golf course—or some $60 million in new resort features that are arriving now at Granby Ranch.
After you visit the models, you can stop by ‘Base Camp,’ where Granby Ranch families meet neighbors over drinks and dinner after a day on the trails. Buy a home and you’ll get full season ski passes for you and your spouse, plus two kids—and eight rounds of golf, pool access, access to a fishing lease, and to bike/Nordic trails through 5,000 acres of back country.
To reach the open house at Granby Ranch’s Saddle Mountain, from I-70 take U.S. 40 west 43 mi. (15 miles past Winter Park) to Village Road, head east 2 miles (past the ski lodge and real estate office), and follow the signs, continue past Cirrus Way.
