Home in Highlands
|
Inspired by a pioneer heritage, The Highlands features premier mountain homes in Breckenridge clustered in several neighborhoods that flow around the Breckenridge Golf Course. This Breckenridge real estate offers some of the finest mountain vistas and accessible open spaces in the Rocky Mountains. Wetlands, wooded parks, and historic flume trails near the Highlands home sites bring hikers, bikers, cross-country skiers, and, of course, golfers outside under the grand Colorado skies.
The Highlands at Breckenridge real estate in the subdivisions of Golf Course, Lincoln Highlands, Discovery Hill, Braddock Hill, and Highland Park includes numerous log mansions in the woods, rustic getaways, and spacious homes in the northern reaches of the Town of Breckenridge. The subdivisions rely on Breckenridge town services and amenities including water, sewer, underground utilities, and paved roadways.
Golfing in Colorado
|
The Town of Breckenridge is the only municipality in the world to own a Jack Nicklaus-designed golf course. The award-winning 27 holes at the Breckenridge Golf Course begin with nine called The Bear and then the nine called The Beaver. These opened up in 1985 and Nicklaus followed them with The Elk nine in 2001.
Four sets of tees tailor the golfing experience to each skill level. Golf with Nicklaus on the Elk-Beaver rotation over 7,145 yards with a 73.5 rating and slope rating of 151—a challenging course for every level—or choose other tees on the Bear-Beaver for a less competitive venture.
Situated in a beautiful mountain valley where summer temperatures rarely pass 80, it is no wonder that Colorado Golfer called the course Best Mountain Course and Toughest Mountain Course, Golf Digest as "Places to Play," and it is Zagat rated. At an elevation of 9,324, golfers relax in the beautiful clubhouse sharing experiences of golf balls that fly farther and straighter than at lower elevations. During the winter months, the Breckenridge Nordic Center at the clubhouse ushers residents and visitors into the great outdoors.
The Town is one of those rare places where tradition and innovation live together comfortably. We mix our authentic Victorian heritage with contemporary flair, enjoying a way of life that is both reassuringly true and refreshingly new.
After cross-country skiing or snowshoeing right outside your back door, explore the Resort from the highest chairlift in North America. It reaches 12,840 feet in elevation and accesses 400 acres of famed expert and advanced intermediate terrain. With four terrain parks and four half pipes spread across four peaks, including expanded terrain on Peak 7, two high-speed six passenger SuperChairs, and a top-notch Ski & Ride School, residents find the ultimate skiing and riding experience.
All year round, residents enjoy browsing quaint shops and stylish boutiques downtown and sitting down to a truly memorable dinner before a play or a concert. That is why we live in The Perfect Mountain Town. Call Jonna Beardsley at (970) 453-2200 or (800) 774-7970 for friendly, professional assistance to locate a wonderful home in this area.
