Interested in buying Real Estate in Colorado? Consider buying some Wolcott Real Estate.
Every so often, I ride my bike east from Eagle on highway 6 to Wolcott, Colorado. Most of us have not heard of Wolcott, have we? This is a little gem of a place located between Eagle and Edwards on the Eagle River. The entire town was for sale several years ago. It consisted of a “hotel”-more like a B&B, a gas station and lots of sheep on big parcels of land. It has been purchased and is now pretty much the same. I love places that don’t change too much. Anyway, the Wolcott Yacht Club is known for the best FAC in the Valley during the summer. One can see almost any kind of motorcycle parked there on a Friday afternoon. The yacht club hosts lots of live music all summer and their fish tacos and buckets of 6oz. beers under bright umbrellas outside make this a fun venue for an evening.
From a real estate perspective, the Yacht Club is located at the intersection of highway 131 to Steamboat Springs. The road winds north into some pristine ranch land and tremendous views. Horse Mountain Ranch is located on the west side of the road. This development of 40 acre parcels is just a beautiful place. The folks lucky enough to live here are loving the quiet, the wildlife, and the spectacular views. More homes are being built and occasionally, one will come on the market. I have the feeling when traveling through this part of Colorado that the old West is not gone afterall. Much of the land out this way is protected BLM land and there are many jeep, mountain bike, and horse trails winding throughout the mountains and grazing land. The biking on 131 can be a little scary because there isn’t much shoulder but there also isn’t much traffic.
