A proven income-producing vacation rental and/or an exceptional personal, yoga, corporate retreat or simply a wonderful place to call home. 170 Lower Allen Road represents a unique combination of privacy, recreation, investment potential, and authentic Colorado mountain living. Fishing rights along the East River further enhance this remarkable offering and when you are lucky you will sight the friendly neighborhood fox that often finds his way through the yard.

Every detail has been thoughtfully selected to complement the home's warm mountain-modern aesthetic, creating an inviting atmosphere that is both elegant and comfortable.
