Second homes in Grand County

A mountain place you'll actually use, with the wells, roads, winters and rental rules explained before you buy.

A place you'll actually use

A lot of Grand County homes are second homes. Some owners come every weekend from the Front Range. Others fly in for summers on the lake or a week at Christmas. The best second home is the one you can reach easily and enjoy without a list of chores every visit.

How many people do you picture visiting at once? Bedrooms don't have to be huge, since most time is spent in the kitchen, the living room and outside, but beds and bathrooms add up fast.

Owning a home you're not always in

Empty homes freeze, collect snow and need plowing. Before you buy, I'll walk you through heat, plumbing, roofs, decks and road access, plus wells and septic where they apply. I can connect you with local inspectors, well and septic testers and insurance agents who know mountain homes. Lock-and-leave condos and townhomes trade space for simplicity; houses give you a garage and room for gear.

Thinking about renting it out part of the year? Read vacation rental investment first, because rules depend on the address.
