A Breathtaking Terra Firma Residence on 35 Acres Redefining Natural Luxury in Colorado
Set deep within an aspen and pine forest just minutes from Winter Park, 170 GCR 810 in Fraser, Colorado has emerged as one of the most compelling new listings in the Rocky Mountains. Priced at $4.75 million, the 35-acre estate delivers a rare combination of architectural pedigree, live water, and adjacency to thousands of acres of protected public land—an increasingly scarce formula in today’s Fraser Real Estate landscape.
Located roughly 6.5 miles from the lifts, dining, and year-round recreation of Winter Park, the property offers the privacy of a legacy ranch with the convenience of a premier ski town. “You simply don’t see many opportunities like this anymore,” said listing agent Kristen L. Meyer. “This home offers seclusion and scale without sacrificing proximity to town, which is exactly what high-end buyers are seeking,” she told Luxury Houses Magazine.
Architecture Designed to Live With the Land
Completed in 2016, 170 GCR 810 spans 4,243 square feet across two thoughtfully designed levels. The barn-wood exterior and natural stone elements allow the home to blend seamlessly into its wooded surroundings, while expansive windows frame forest and creek views in nearly every room. Inside, the design strikes a careful balance between modern craftsmanship and mountain warmth.
The home’s central living area is anchored by a dramatic curved rock wall and a massive three-sided stone fireplace beneath soaring wood ceilings. A steel-and-reclaimed-wood staircase provides a sculptural focal point, while the kitchen’s continuous-grain custom cabinetry reflects a level of detail rarely found in mountain construction. “This was never intended to be a showpiece for resale,” Meyer explained. “The owners designed it as a long-term retreat, and that intention is evident in every material choice.”
Creekfront Living and Unmatched Outdoor Access
What truly distinguishes 170 GCR 810 is Ranch Creek, which flows year-round through the property. The creek serves as a natural wildlife corridor and a protected habitat for brook trout, transforming the land into a private sanctuary. Elk, moose, and deer are frequent visitors, offering a daily connection to Colorado’s alpine ecosystem.
Equally rare is the property’s direct adjacency to more than 2,000 acres of public land, providing immediate access to hiking, fishing, hunting, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing. In the context of Colorado Real Estate, estates offering this level of access and environmental integrity so close to a resort town are increasingly difficult to replicate.

A Flexible Layout With Investment Potential
The home’s layout supports both entertaining and extended family stays. The main level includes two ensuite bedrooms, including a primary suite, along with a generous mudroom and an oversized three-car garage designed for mountain equipment. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms are joined by an office and a recreation room with a bar and forest-view decks.
Beyond lifestyle appeal, the land itself presents future flexibility. With more than 35 acres, a buyer may explore subdivision opportunities under Grand County regulations. “Land near Winter Park is extremely limited,” Meyer noted. “The potential to create additional parcels adds a compelling long-term investment layer to an already exceptional home,” she told Luxury Houses.
Market Context and Community Appeal
Public records show 170 GCR 810 last sold in 2022 for $3.675 million, following a 2014 sale at $772,500—reflecting the dramatic appreciation of estate properties in the Fraser Valley. Demand for acreage, privacy, and water features continues to drive growth across Fraser Real Estate and the broader Colorado Real Estate market.
The town of Fraser offers a quieter alternative to resort-core living while maintaining easy access to restaurants, breweries, boutiques, and Highway 40, which connects directly to Denver International Airport. According to Meyer, “This home represents what today’s luxury buyer wants most—space, privacy, and a genuine connection to the outdoors—without isolation.”
Now offered fully furnished and ready for winter, 170 GCR 810 stands as a rare legacy estate at the intersection of design, nature, and long-term value.
