About the host
Hosted by Alyce McElhoes
We purchased 40 acres from the original homesteader, built a small house 25 years ago to live in and then built our dream home in 2004. As a custom home builder for 35 years, this home has been our rest and respite after a days work. With kids out of the home, a smaller home has been in order. We hope memories grow here for families who come to vacation in Colorado.
Why they chose this property
We purchased 40 acres and developed it into Dancing Wolf Estates. It has a charming rural feel, and beautiful views, meadows and ponds.
What makes this property unique
Close in to amenities and yet very private and beautiful
