2901 Eaglecliff Drive — “Moose Den” at Windcliff Estates
Offered at $1,475,000
Commanding views of the snow-capped Continental Divide from nearly every window, Moose Den is perched high on the western slopes of Ram’s Horn Mountain in the prestigious Windcliff Estates community. This four-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath mountain retreat is fully renovated and ready for its next owner — no detail overlooked — and includes a transferable short-term rental license, offering both luxury living and investment upside.
Neighborhood & Setting
Windcliff is a private, covenant-controlled enclave of approximately 160 property owners. The Windcliff Property Owners Association (WPOA) manages 282 acres, over 133 acres of green space bordering both Roosevelt National Forest and Rocky Mountain National Park, five miles of private roads, three private water reservoirs, and community infrastructure. windcliff.com
Residents benefit from a strong architectural oversight, privacy, and forested surroundings that are protected by the POA’s design and preservation policies.
Moose Den’s location is uniquely advantaged: immediate trail access from Windcliff’s private paths leads into Rocky Mountain National Park at Lily Lake, while trails to Rams Horn and Lily Mountain begin steps away. A short two-mile drive brings you to the East Portal trailheads (to Estes Cone, Sprague Lake, Alberta Falls), placing you minutes from the heart of the national park and forestland.
A Comprehensive Transformation
Nearly $500,000 in improvements have elevated Moose Den to a level of finish and function that leaves virtually nothing for a buyer to do but move in and begin enjoying the mountain life. Every finish, fixture, surface, and system was redone with intention and care.
