Colorado City, Rye, Beulah....What can you tell me?

Hi, I am new to the site, so I will try and answer any questions you may have.
Southpark is a beautiful place and is located close to the golf course. It also has a swimming pool. This is a community area. There are membership fees.
Eric Baker of South Park is the director and could help you with whatever you need to know. He does have a listed number, so you can call information.
Land must really be expensive in Parker, as I find the property around here to be expensive!

I need somebodys opinion since I live in Texas I can not come and see it at this time. Any info would be appreciated. How far is it from the mountains, we love hiking and other outdoor activities. Love the picture, very pretty. Thanks.

Welcome to City-Data!

I have a couple of more recent photos of the Green Horn (Cuero Verde) Valley.
These were taken from The Greens at the golf course during my lunch break. Not too many golfers out this day.




My parents live over by Lake Beckwith.

Don't let the snow scare you too much. A late winter or early spring day can get up into the 60s when the sun is out and it gets into the 90s in the summer.

There's an area near Lake Beckwith called Knollwood or something like that.

The mountains are right there. You just head up 165 into Rye about 4 miles and from Rye park (about 7000 ft) you can find trailheads such as the Bartlett Trail or continue up 165 further into San Isabel where there's another small lake stocked with trout. From that area you've got other trailheads such as the Slides or St Charles trail. Then you can continue further up 165 to Bishop's Castle or further onto Ophir creek. There's a dirt road that'll take you near the top of Greenhorn Mountain (12,365 ft). 165 continues on and will take you to Beulah or you can continue around to the Westcliffe-Silvercliffe area.

If you like to golf, you've got it made. The 27-hole course in Colorado City is nice. Good schools in the area; Craver Middle School in Colorado City, Rye Elementary and Rye High School up in Rye.

Hope this helps a bit. DM me for a recommended real estate agent if you need one.

When a church organization sets out to built a church in a couple of days, they don't fool around; In Colorado City, they'll probably be done tonight.


Here's a shot from GH Park on my way back from lunch at Max's;


Snow on my deck (at work) from yesterday morning is all gone today;
