Colorado summers will call you outside to have cocktails by the fire pit or hike on the iconic Vail Trail, just steps from your patio. Enjoy the extensive perennial gardens with gorgeous flowers sprouting throughout the spring, summer and early fall. In the winter, take apres-skiing back home for a soak in the hot tub while overlooking the snow-covered trees. Backed up to White River National Forest, experience an abundance of passing wildlife that frequent the property year-round and views of aspen groves as far as the eye can see. In this peaceful mountain sanctuary that manages to deceivingly escape the hustle and bustle of daily life, reconnect with what truly matters while being effortlessly close to the heart of Vail - Vail Village. There is excellent storage in this residence with two bedrooms having walk-in closets, an additional large "extra" walk-in closet next to the upstairs office, a mudroom and two storage closets in the garage. Unlike many single-family homes and duplexes right in Vail Village (i.e. Rockledge Road, Beaver Dam and Forest Road) that are often on steep grades, lacking sunlight and no free shuttle, here you can easily walk, ride a bike or hop on the bus for a comfortable trip back to 1418 Vail Valley Drive. This home boasts a coveted bus stop at the end of the heated driveway but is positioned just behind the pine trees on the other side of the duplex. Your friends and family can download an app and monitor in real-time the next bus. As the bus comes down the street, perfectly time walking down the driveway, hop on and you will be dropped off in three minutes at the ski school and Vail Village base at Golden Peak. When your college kids want a late night on the town, you can sleep easy knowing they can safely walk home or take the bus that will drop them right back at the house. As if this isn't all convenient enough, this homeowner has a Vail Mountain Club membership with valet parking! The current wait list for this membership is estimated at five years but you will "skip the line" as this owner paid an extra fee to attach it to the home to avoid new owners having to wait. The Club provides heated underground valet parking, designated ski lockers in a private locker room, clubhouse at the base of Gondola One with bar and elegant member lounge, slope-side ski valet, year-round ski storage and year-round outdoor pool and hot tub. Complimentary daily continental breakfast, lunch and club concierge services are also included. All Lodge at Vail amenities like wellness spa, fitness center, pool and hot tub are included with membership. https://thesignatureclubs.com/clubs/vail-mountain-club/ Why not have it all from the moment we hand you the keys to this incredible residence! The Vail Golf Course Neighborhood is one of the most unique locations in the Vail Valley. The Vail Golf Course is located immediately adjacent to Vail Village's Golden Peak ski base. This beautiful golf course community is home to some of the Vail Valley's first residents, many of whom formed some of Vail's original businesses. Why would the earliest locals select this area and remain for so many decades? This area boasts the shortest route of all the free Vail bus routes making an already convenient ride even more so. During the summer months, you can just walk or ride your bike to the Vail Village and take in a Bravo! Vail or Dance event at the Ford Amphitheater. This venue, which is located between Vail Village and the Vail Golf Course, offers many concerts, special events and performances throughout the year. In addition, Gore Creek traverses the area and prominent views of the Gore Range are easily seen. The Vail Golf Course neighborhood is home to the renowned public Vail Golf Club. In the winter time it operates as a cross country ski area and has a great restaurant and patio for enjoying food and drinks. This community offers some of the most sought after property locations in the Vail Valley. VailGolfCourseLuxury.com
