During ski season, enjoy the Shock Hill location of this grand mountain retreat, right next to the gondola to Breckenridge Ski Resort. In summer, mountain trails come alive with flora and fauna for breathtaking day hikes. Whether it's ski boots or hiking shoes, the muck room at the entrance of this home provides ample storage. Pad on up to the massive open kitchen and living room with vaulted ceilings and a wall of glass by the sitting area. A huge corner sofa curls around the open fire. At the heart of the gourmet kitchen, a rounded granite-topped island doubles as a breakfast bar. On the ground floor, a second sitting room has big windows, letting in plenty of natural light. There's a cabinet full of boardgames and a wet bar for the perfect evening in. The grand masterbedroom has its own fireplace and floor to ceiling windows with mountain views. Each bathroom has a luxurious, walk-in shower and the master en-suite comes with a bath tub by the window. It's tempting to spend all your evenings inside, but perhaps the hot tub on the patio could tempt you to spend time under the stars.
