They say people come for the winter and stay for the summers in Summit County. At the Ponds at Blue River you'll understand why.

This 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath end-residence captures some of the best views in the county. The living room, dining room, primary suite and back patio all face due west to Buffalo Mountain and the Gore Range. As an end residence on the north side of the neighborhood, the home enjoys a quiet setting and extra natural light from the additional windows. The main level of the home is open and bright as the kitchen, dining and living areas flow together. The spacious floor plan is designed for hosting large groups, whether family or friends.

The patio features a hot tub and dining area positioned to maximize the views of the mountains to the west. Step right off your patio onto the Summit County bike path for miles of biking, walking and exploring along the Blue River.

You'll love the time spent at the North and South ponds, just steps from your door. Take paddleboards and kayaks onto North Pond in the summer, or lace up your skates when the water freezes in winter. The Blue River flows right through the neighborhood for the anglers in your group, and the Angler Mountain Trailhead is just across the street. When the snow falls, Keystone, Arapahoe Basin and Copper Mountain are all just a short drive away.

The 2-car garage has plenty of room for skis, snowboards, mountain bikes, paddle boards and fishing rods. All the gear you need for the adventures you want.
