Just 10 minutes from Breckenridge, this fully furnished Colorado mountain retreat offers the rare combination of convenience, privacy, and authentic mountain character. Spanning 3,629 square feet, the home lives like a 5-bedroom retreat with a bonus sleeping area, two spacious living rooms, and en-suite bathrooms for every bedroom, creating an ideal setting for gathering family and friends. A floor-to-ceiling stacked stone fireplace anchors the great room beneath soaring tongue-and-groove ceilings, while wide-plank hardwood floors, granite countertops, and alder cabinetry create the timeless mountain feel buyers come to Colorado to find. Set on nearly an acre among the pines, the property offers frequent wildlife sightings, easy access to Goose Pasture Tarn and nearby trails, and a documented six-figure rental history that enhances its long-term ownership appeal.
Life in this corner of Blue River is set by what surrounds it. Goose Pasture Tarn sits a short way down the valley, where owners can paddleboard or drop a line on a still morning.
The trailheads at Lower McCullough Gulch and Spruce Creek open onto some of the highest country in Summit County, with Quandary Peak rising over it all as the area’s signature fourteener.
Drive south and Hoosier Pass crests the Continental Divide beneath Hoosier Ridge and Mt. Silverheels, a route that erupts in color each autumn.
Moose move through the willows along the Blue River, and fox turn up regularly closer to home.
When the day calls for lifts and groomers, Breckenridge Ski Resort is a short run up Highway 9, close enough to ski in the morning and be back before the fire burns down.
The mountains above Blue River are not the view here, they are the day.

Any property operated as a short-term rental in the Town of Blue River must hold an active STR license issued by the town. Blue River is currently under a moratorium and is not issuing new STR licenses or processing renewals, and a buyer planning to rent should verify current rules and license availability directly with the Town of Blue River before closing. This home does carry a strong rental history from prior operation, which speaks to its appeal even as the licensing landscape evolves.
The home has a documented short-term rental history and was a consistent performer when actively rented near Breckenridge and Quandary Peak. Specific income figures should be confirmed against the seller’s records and the property’s current Town of Blue River licensing status, since rental use now depends on the town’s STR program. Historically, rental income has helped offset the cost of ownership here rather than serving as the reason to buy.
Ownership includes private access to Goose Pasture Tarn, a calm body of water suited to paddleboarding and fishing within the upper Blue River valley. From there, the Lower McCullough Gulch and Spruce Creek trailheads lead into high alpine terrain, and Quandary Peak offers one of Colorado’s most accessible fourteeners. In winter, Breckenridge Ski Resort sits a short drive north along Highway 9.
Timber Creek Estates sits in the town of Blue River, a small, heavily treed community just south of Breckenridge along the upper Blue River. Lots here are large and private, with mature pine and aspen and frequent wildlife, including moose and fox. It is a quieter setting than central Breckenridge while keeping Breckenridge Ski Resort and Quandary Peak within easy reach.
The home sits in Blue River, roughly 10 to 15 minutes south of the town of Breckenridge and Breckenridge Ski Resort by car along Highway 9. Several other Summit County mountains, including Copper Mountain, Keystone, and Arapahoe Basin, are within a reasonable drive for owners who like variety. Hoosier Pass just to the south also opens the route toward Fairplay and the South Park side of the range.
