New Home for Sale in Breckenridge, The Gondola House

The newest luxury home for sale in Breckenridge is the historic Gondola House. They call it the Gondola House for a reason: this is the closest single family home to the new BreckConnect Gondola. This home is also located one-half block from Main Street and overlooks the Blue River for the perfect blend of convenience and comfort. The home boasts 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms in nearly 3000 square feet, but the views of the Breckenridge Ski Resort cannot be matched.


Originally built in 1905, the Gondola House was recently remodeled from the foundation up. In 2007 the developers picked up the entire structure and moved it to the vacant lot next door. After excavating a lower, third level and pouring a new foundation they returned the home to its original…

Fall Is Here - Breckenridge, Colorado

Fall is upon us. The Aspen trees are starting their annual display of brilliant yellows, oranges and reds. The evenings are cool and the nights, just down-right cold! Yep, the garden hose was frozen yesterday morning! That's the signal for us that it's time to blow out the irrigation, and start picking up stuff you don't want covered up for the winter.

Downtown Breckenridge is a little quiet today, but next weekend we are cutting loose with our now, nearly-famous, OCTOBERFEST in September!

Big Rains Bring Big Fish To The Blue River

We prayed for rain and it came, hard and often. We’re accustomed to the southwest monsoon season bringing precipitation on a daily basis to our area, but not to this degree. Some rivers became unfishable. Most rivers in sections were turbid. Luckily for us, those conditions lasted less than a week. In some places, over 8 inches of rain fell in a two week period!

Precipitation brought the Middle Fork’s flows to run off levels. The Blue, Colorado, Arkansas, and numerous smaller streams were also affected in sections by the heavy rains. Flash flood warnings were issued six straight days in our area valleys. And then we dried out. River flows dropped. Along the Middle Fork, fishing was incredible. Large fish were showing themselves everywhere.

The rain…
