One-level mountain living in the heart of Eagles Nest, with views right from the front door. This 3 bedroom, 3 bath home has never been rented, and it shows. Vaulted ceilings and a wall of windows fill the living room with natural light, and the fireplace makes it the place everyone gathers on cool mountain nights.

The oversized bunk room/bonus room is the spot the kids (and their friends) will claim first, and double laundry machines are a game changer when you’ve got a full house. The covered deck is made for morning coffee and evenings outside, rain or shine. Beyond it is something you rarely find up here: a large, flat mountain yard mixed with big boulders and mature trees. It has room to play and all the natural character you came to the mountains for. The home’s central location on the mountain puts you near everything Eagles Nest has to offer: dinner at Epic Chophouse, Sportsman’s Grille (now serving breakfast too!), fitness center, dog park, pickleball, tennis, climbing wall, ATV and hiking trails, disc golf, and weekly concerts all season long. This is the kind of home that feels like a getaway the minute you pull in. Come see it in person.
