Tucked within the Foxtail Pines neighborhood in Fairplay, this secluded luxury custom 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath mountain retreat spans 2,063 square feet across 3 gated acres of pristine alpine landscape, surrounded by towering pines, aspens, and expansive mountain views. Residents of Foxtail Pines also enjoy access to a private stocked fishing pond and community trail systems. Vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings with exposed beams, walls of natural light, and a soapstone fireplace define the open living space, complemented by polished concrete floors and quartz finishes. The luxury kitchen, serene primary suite with steam shower, radiant heat, and smart-home technology create a refined yet effortless lifestyle. Offered fully furnished and seamlessly turn-key.
Foxtail Pines sits on the edge of the South Park basin at roughly 10,000 feet, where the Pike National Forest begins at the subdivision boundary and the views open across an enormous stretch of protected land in every direction.
The roads through the neighborhood are mostly paved and well plowed, and the lots run two acres or more, which means the distance between homes feels deliberate rather than incidental.
The community’s private stocked fishing ponds give owners a quiet place to drop a line without leaving the property, and the South Platte River in Fairplay adds a second, more storied option for anglers just minutes away.
Breckenridge Resort and downtown Breckenridge are about 45 minutes north, close enough for a full ski day or a summer afternoon on Main Street without making it feel like a commute.
Boreas Pass Road, which climbs out of Breckenridge toward the Continental Divide, and Weston Pass, a historic route connecting South Park to Leadville, both put serious backcountry within reach of this address.
Buena Vista, known for Arkansas River whitewater and some of the state’s most popular hot springs, sits roughly an hour south. Denver is about 90 minutes away.

Short-term rentals are legal in unincorporated Park County, which governs properties in Foxtail Pines, and all STRs must be licensed through the Park County Development Services Department before any listing goes live. Applications are submitted online through the county’s CloudPermit portal and require a non-refundable $605 fee along with a recorded deed, property tax receipt, Colorado sales tax license, floor plans, septic documents, a Certificate of Occupancy, and a designated Responsible Agent who can respond to the property within one hour, around the clock. Properties where the CO was issued more than five years ago will also require a fire and safety inspection before the license is issued. Licenses renew annually, and the county is currently reviewing proposed updates to its STR ordinance, including potential future caps, so buyers should verify current rules directly with Park County Development Services before closing.
The property’s 3-bedroom layout, fully furnished condition, and location within a private gated community in Foxtail Pines position it well for both ski-season and summer rental demand. Breckenridge Resort is 45 minutes away, and the South Park basin draws anglers, hikers, and off-road enthusiasts across multiple seasons, which supports year-round occupancy potential rather than dependence on a single peak period.
Yes. Foxtail Pines maintains private stocked fishing ponds available exclusively to property owners and their guests, providing walk-out fishing access without leaving the neighborhood. For anglers who want more water, the South Platte River runs through Fairplay a short drive away, with the Middle Fork section recognized as one of Colorado’s premier high-elevation trout fisheries. Jefferson Lake, the only natural lake in Park County at 11,000 feet, offers additional fishing and recreation approximately 30 minutes north.
The Pike National Forest begins at the Foxtail Pines boundary, with trails for hiking, snowshoeing, and horseback riding accessible directly from the neighborhood. Weston Pass, a historic route south of Fairplay, opens to off-road vehicles in summer and connects South Park to the Leadville area. Boreas Pass, accessible from Breckenridge roughly 45 minutes north, is a popular four-season route across the Continental Divide. Mount Sherman, one of Colorado’s more approachable 14ers, is within an hour’s drive, and Buena Vista adds Arkansas River rafting and hot springs to the seasonal calendar.
Foxtail Pines sits on mostly paved, well-maintained roads that are plowed reliably through winter, which is a meaningful distinction from neighborhoods like Valley of the Sun where dirt roads can be rough and inconsistently cleared. Lots in Foxtail Pines run two acres or more and are surrounded by State and Forest Service protected land, so the density is low and the buffer between neighbors is real. The community also has private stocked fishing ponds, which Valley of the Sun does not offer. For buyers weighing Park County options, COMtnRealty.com/market-reports/ tracks current inventory and pricing across the area.
Breckenridge Resort is approximately 45 minutes north via Highway 9, making a full ski day entirely reasonable without an overnight stay. Downtown Breckenridge adds dining, shopping, and summer festivals to that same drive. Denver is roughly 90 minutes east on US-285, a well-traveled mountain highway that stays passable through most of the winter season. Buena Vista, which draws visitors for Arkansas River rafting, hot springs, and trail access in the Collegiate Peaks Wilderness, sits about an hour to the south.
