Few places in Colorado can match the scenic allure and rich history of Upper Bear Creek Canyon. The legendary “Yankee Point” property, which has been held by the same owners for 37 years, is now on the market. Initially constructed in 1919, this property has undergone numerous transformations, each one enhancing its charm and preserving the enchanting allure that makes “Upper Bear” one of the most coveted addresses in Colorado’s front range.
The property is adorned with towering pine, spruce, and aspen trees, and nearly 700 feet of Upper Bear Creek meanders through the grounds, filling two summer ponds along its path. The land, which has been the venue for numerous annual hayrides and a handful of special weddings, is truly captivating.
The house itself has evolved over its century-long existence, with each addition contributing to its unique charm and rich history. Every room is filled with custom features and stories, from the reclaimed doors and stained-glass accents to the kitchen island made from an “oak filing cabinet” and the antique kitchen stove converted range that was originally transported to the mountains in a covered wagon.
A sandstone fireplace with a natural gas insert in the living room and a freestanding gas stove in the great room provide warmth during the winter months, while the mountain shade and breezes maintain a comfortable temperature during the summer. The four-car garage with a workshop is an added bonus.
Key features of this property include:
- Wildlife cohabiting the land and trout populating the stream, offering a unique pace of life.
- A sandstone fireplace and freestanding gas stove for cozy winter nights.
- A four-car garage with a workshop.
- Custom features in every room, including reclaimed doors, stained-glass accents, and a kitchen island made from an “oak filing cabinet”.
