Eagles Nest and Three Peaks
A maze of winding streets curve around the golf course called The Ravens Golf Club at Eagles Nest - and are generally known as the neighborhood Eagles Nest -- the same name as the wilderness that lies close by, to the west, and climbs up and over the Gore Range. One section, mostly Filing #4, is known as Three Peaks and is the western most area of the neighborhood backing on national forest - and the least developed to date.
While this is a rural, and private neighborhood of single-family homes on large rolling lots, it has all the conveniences of a modern neighborhood with paved streets, that aren't too steep, and all the utilities available in an urban setting (electricity, natural gas, sewer, water, cable). In 2017, a Verizon cell town will go online within the neighborhood.
The roads are gentle and paved, plowed in the winter, with plenty of pine and aspen trees in its creeks and draws to provide shade on this leeward side of the Blue. From the upper roads of Eagle's Nest one has views to Keystone Ski Resort and Lake Dillon as well as the Williams and Gore ranges.

Architecture
Homes here were each custom built and offer a unique variety of styles from a few modern homes to grand log cabins. Built primarily in this century, the homes are large and whether they mimic styles from the 1800s or not they will be made of modern materials - wood, with stone accents and often metal siding that is reminiscent of the Colorado mining era.
Recreation
The Raven at Three Peaks Golf Course is a Tom Lehman and Hurdzan/Fry design, and takes advantage of the rolling hills and open fields that were the naturally lay of the land in the upper Blue River valley. Grass and manicured greens have replaced the sage and scrub oak, but the views across the valley to the Williams Range
remain open throughout this sparsely populated neighborhood. Bike paths are part of the neighborhood and make it easy to link up to the paved path that runs up and down the Blue River from this neighborhood into the town of Silverthorne.
Trails lead into the adjacent Eagle's Nest Wilderness so hiking and cross country skiing are right out the door. In the winter, the golf course doubles as a Nordic Ski Center.
The neighborhood has a small annual HOA fee, which includes access to a community center. The homeowners association is a community of HOAs that include all the homes that surround this golf course: the older Eagle's Nest subdivision, several townhome developments and the newer, next-door neighborhood called Three Peaks.
Homeownership -
The community association for Eagle's Nest is an umbrella group for all the various filing and neighbors of this golf course community. They draw the line of inclusion at the border with Willowbrook, a locals-oriented, older and lower priced neighborhood to the south on the west side of Highway 9.
Included are the Ponds at Blue River Condos, which is a collection of townhouse buildings of 2 to 3 units per building, located across the highway to the east. These townhomes are located close to the Blue River in an area dotted with several small lakes and former beaver ponds.
Charmingly, the HOA is divided into subgroups with names like: Elk Haven and Three Peaks - to identify separate filings of Eagle's Nest Sub, and Eagle's Nest Golf Course Sub (1,2,4,5,6), and more descriptive names like Old Eagle's Nest Neighborhood, and the separate subdivisions (mostly small groups of townhouses) like The Ponds, The Ranch, Fox Valley, Peregrine, Hideaway,Osprey, Homestead, Valley Green.
