About this property
NEW Riffel's River Retreat- Elegant, Dog-Friendly, Mobility-Friendly!
Welcome to Riffel's River Retreat, a serene 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath mountain escape in Blue River, just 7.4 miles from downtown Breckenridge. With private riverfront access and close proximity to popular trailheads like Quandary Peak, McCullough Gulch, and Blue Lakes, this home is perfect for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. Inside, you'll find original, handmade artwork crafted by the homeowner, including custom wood furnishings that add a personal touch. The entry, main living area, and one bedroom with an attached bathroom are step-free and suitable for most mobility needs. This home is pet-friendly!
Kitchen: Walk straight ahead from the front entry into the fully equipped kitchen, featuring full-size appliances, ample prep space, and all the cookware, utensils, and dinnerware you need for home-style meals. A traditional drip coffee is available as well as a Keurig.
Living Room: The main living room is a cozy and welcoming space designed for relaxation. Anchored by a beautiful stone-trimmed gas fireplace, it features a wall mounted flat screen TV with cable, and two plush reclining sofas positioned for comfortable seating by the fire, along with an additional sofa and lounge chair on the opposite side of the room.
Dining Room: Adjacent to both the kitchen and living room, the dining room offers an inviting space to gather, and there is seating for 6 at the dining table. There's 2 more seats at the kitchen island.
Lower Living Room: Head downstairs for added privacy and comfort, where you'll find three guest bedrooms, a second living area, and direct access to the backyard. The downstairs living area is perfect for larger groups or families, featuring two queen sleeper sofas, a TV, and a gas fireplace.
• 2 Queen Sleeper Sofas
Sleeping Arrangements: 4 Bedrooms, 3.5 Bath
• Primary Bedroom (Top Floor): King size bed, dresser, closet, and ensuite bath. The ensuite bath includes a step-free walk-in shower and single vanity, and features a wide doorway.
• Second Bedroom (Bottom Floor): King size bed, dresser, and closet. This room shares a bathroom with the third bedroom.
• Third Bedroom (Bottom Floor): King size bed, dresser, and closet. This room shares a bathroom with the second bedroom.
• Fourth Bedroom (Bottom Floor): King size bed, dresser, closet, and ensuite access. The ensuite bath includes a shower tub combo and single vanity.
• Additional Sleeping Area: Downstairs queen sleeper sofa
Deck: Step out from the main living area onto the upper deck, where the gentle sounds of the river create a peaceful alpine backdrop. Enjoy the gas grill and bar-height table for two, making it the perfect spot to enjoy morning coffee or a sunset dinner.
• Natural Gas Grill
Backyard & River Access: Enjoy the peaceful, forested backyard with direct access to Monte Cristo Creek and a private metal bridge to explore both sides of the property.
As night falls, gather around the outdoor seating under the stars and surrounded by forest. The angel watching over the creek holds deep personal meaning for the owners and honors the memory of a loved one. This is a peaceful spot for reflection and meditation.
Laundry: A full-size washer and dryer can be found in the laundry room right next to the front door.
With spacious living areas, comfortable bedrooms, and inviting outdoor spaces, Riffel's River Retreat offers the perfect blend of privacy and comfort. From cozy fireplaces and a fully equipped kitchen to the serene riverfront backyard and private bridge, every detail is crafted to ensure a relaxing and memorable stay.
