Vail home offers golf course views, access to skiing

Vail embodies the best that the great state of Colorado has to offer. Mountain views, winding rivers and colorful summers give those who live in this stunning stretch of the Rockies a little bit of everything.

While fewer than 5,000 people permanently live in the tiny town, the area is constantly bustling with activity, with the nearby ski resort bringing a steady stream of adventurists each winter and other events like the Vail Film Festival and the Bravo! Vail classical music series keeping the area vibrant year-round.

This home with more than 6,000 square feet of living space offers a mix of biking, fishing, skiing and, of course, golf — all within walking distance.

This 5-bedroom, 5.5-bathroom home lines the fourth fairway of the Vail Golf Club, an 18-hole, par-71 track known for its walkability and golf bikes, which allow players to maximize their exercise time.

Stay warm in the winter with a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, and enjoy summer with a wrap-around deck. The home also includes new white oak hardwood floors, and a wet bar for entertaining.

A buyer also gets the opportunity to purchase a full membership to the Vail Mountain Club, which has a lengthy waiting list to join. Membership provides valet parking, a private ski locker, gym/spa access, food and beverage, and a multitude of social activities. the home is currently on sale for $17,900,000 through Sotheby’s.
