Backing to open space and framed by mature aspens, this beautifully maintained mountain retreat offers privacy, comfort, and easy mountain living on 1.2 acres in Warm Springs. The single-level, 3-bedroom, 2-bath home features new flooring and a freestanding gas stove with a striking river rock backdrop, while large windows bring the outdoors in. Elk and deer are frequent visitors, while the spacious deck captures mountain views. A fully fenced yard and large asphalt driveway provide flexibility for pets, guests, RVs, and recreational gear. Built in 2014 and just over Hoosier Pass from Breckenridge, this move-in-ready home is an ideal full-time residence or weekend escape.
Life in Warm Springs starts with the kind of quiet that Fairplay is known for, where the loudest thing most mornings is the wind moving through the aspens.
Daily walks lead toward Round Hill, and the Limber Grove Trailhead sits close enough to fold a real hike into an ordinary afternoon. For bigger days, the Rich Creek Trailhead opens into the Buffalo Peaks Wilderness, where creeks, meadows, and elk fill a basin most people never reach, and Mt Sherman gives 14er seekers a summit within easy striking distance.
Anglers settle into the rhythm of the private ponds inside Warm Springs before working the public water that has made the Town of Fairplay a quiet fishing town for generations.
Winter points north to Breckenridge and its ski area over Hoosier Pass, while summer pulls south toward Buena Vista and rafting on the Arkansas River.

Many homes in the Warm Springs area are served by wells and septic, which places them under Park County’s short-term rental rules rather than the Town of Fairplay’s. Park County requires a short-term rental license, and a revised county ordinance takes effect in July 2026, so anyone planning to rent should confirm current rules and the Warm Springs covenants before relying on rental use. This particular home has never been short-term rented, so there is no rental history to transfer, and a projected rental estimate is available on request [figure to be provided and broker-approved]. For current guidance, reach the team through COMtnRealty.com/contact/.
Ownership in Warm Springs includes water, trash, recycling, and snow removal, which lifts much of the seasonal workload off a second-home owner or a full-time resident. The HOA also maintains the community’s private stocked fishing ponds, trails, and clubhouse, and ownership carries private fishing rights. Buyers should confirm current dues and the full list of inclusions during due diligence.
The most convenient water is right inside Warm Springs, where owners can fish the community’s private, stocked ponds. Beyond the neighborhood, the creeks running through the Buffalo Peaks Wilderness near the Rich Creek Trailhead hold trout, and the Middle Fork of the South Platte threads through South Park within easy reach of Fairplay. The region’s reputation for high-country trout water is a large part of why anglers put down roots here.
Yes. The single-level layout and the Warm Springs HOA’s snow removal make year-round living practical at this elevation, and the Town of Fairplay covers everyday needs just minutes away. Breckenridge sits over Hoosier Pass for work, dining, or a ski day, which gives full-time residents resort access without resort-town pricing at home. Many owners across South Park live here full time while using Fairplay and Breckenridge for very different reasons.
Breckenridge is about 22 miles from Fairplay, a drive of roughly 35 minutes north on Highway 9 over Hoosier Pass through Alma. The pass crosses the Continental Divide above 11,500 feet and is generally open all year, though it can close briefly during winter storms. That puts the Breckenridge ski area and its summer trails within an easy day trip from Warm Springs.
For buyers priced out of Summit County, the Fairplay area and the wider South Park basin generally offer a lower cost of entry than Breckenridge while keeping the resort within a short drive over Hoosier Pass. That trade, more land and quiet for a manageable run to the mountain, is the central reason buyers look here. Pricing trends across Park County shift with the seasons, so review the latest figures at COMtnRealty.com/market-reports/ before making a move.
