Quartz Mountain Ranch & Lodge has “Unbelievable Views.” Serene and remote feel yet fairly close to restaurants, coffee shops, hiking, fishing, biking, skiing, skiing and much more. The home is built on the 3.1 acre property toward the top of Scar Top Mountain at 8,400-feet elevation with 3 picnic tables spread around the property. Nestled in the woods of Coal Creek Canyon next to the summit of Scar Top Mountain, this lodge is private and peaceful. It is within 2.5 miles of Hwy 72 so it has great access and only 15 minutes from the plains and Highway 93 from Boulder to Golden. The large back deck overlooks Indian Peaks Wilderness Area, Rocky Mountain National Park's 14,259-foot high Long's Peak and Mount Meeker and Estes Park mountains, Golden Gate State Park's and Arapahoe National Forest's Mount Thorodin and Star Peak, 14,265-foot Mount Evans on a clear day, the backsides of the Boulder Flatirons mountains including South Boulder Peak, Bear Peak, and Green Mountain, and thousands of evergreen trees in view. The home can easily sleep 8-10 with 5 bathrooms, 3 bedrooms, office, and bonus rooms. Plenty of parking along with a natural gas stove for warmth and ambiance! Within 30 minutes – Fishing, ice fishing, hunting, hiking, rock climbing, golf, kayaking, rafting, horseback riding, bike riding, ATV, motorcycle riding, snowmobiling, boating, hunting, snow shoeing, sledding and cross country skiing, downhill skiing, golf, gambling, shows, Coors Brewery, and shopping. The property looks over Walker Ranch hiking and biking area and the Gross Reservoir water area, dam and spillway. Despite being toward the top of a mountain, there is a flat volleyball court / badminton court area on the granitic sand and beloved Kinnickinick ground covering. There is also a small football field lined by logs. Hummingbirds love the area and sit on the dead limbs of the huge Douglas Fir just west of the deck. Hummingbirds or “hummers” also love to dive bomb for insects in the area.
