A real estate client asked me yesterday why no one has purchased the lot at 3413 Eaglecliff Cir Dr. The lot is one of the last two remaining developer lots at Windcliff Estates in Estes Park, Colorado. Well, first and foremost, the obvious answer should be simply, “no one has purchased it so that YOU could have that opportunity!”  But all pithy real estate expressions aside, the answer I gave him is that no one who’s looked at it has been able to “see it.” Oh, sure, plenty of potential buyers have seen the lot — my wife and I...

With the holidays fast approaching, you’re no doubt getting caught up in planning. Planning for time spent with friends and family — and the gifts they’ll be receiving.

Here at Windcliff, folks ask us all the time while planning their Colorado mountain vacation: should I rent an affordable riverside cabin or a majestic mountainside home? Well, our feeling is: why not have the best of both worlds? Windcliff’s Estes Park duplex condos, detached condos, and triplex condos offer you majestic million dollar views at rates more comparable with riverside cabins.  Here are some things to consider when you’re deciding what to rent! How’s the view? In our experience, typical riverside cabins tend to be “fenced-in” by tall trees. This limits your views of the beautiful countryside, sometimes to...

Since the first time I brought my wife to Estes Park, I’ve enjoyed experiencing my hometown through her fresh eyes. She didn’t grow up here like I did, so places locals take for granted are new and exciting for her.

But what we’ve discovered is that Estes is a romantic, inspiring getaway for us every single winter. Every site on this list has to meet a certain standard: Would I go there if it were in my hometown? Back in...
