Evergreen Real Estate --- Bob's Blog

Evergreen Real Estate --- Bob's Blog http://activerain.com/blogs/bobmaiocco Evergreen real estate and Conifer real estate are my two primary areas of focus for the Activerain community. Here's where I write about various neighborhoods, subdivisions in Evergreen and Conifer and discuss various events and thoughts about this wonderful mountain community just west of Denver. en-us http://activerain.com/blogsview/1600805/hiwan-clubhouse-courts-condos Hiwan Clubhouse Courts Condos <p> </p><p>Hiwan Clubhouse Courts Condos</p> <p><a href="http://www.evergreen-real-estate.com/hiwan/#hiwan-golf-club" title="Hiwan Golf Club" target="_blank">Hiwan Golf Club</a> is know for it's beautiful fairways and meticulously maintained greens.  And just a stone's throw from the Hiwan Clubhouse and driving range are 8 homes, 4 attached homes (like a duplex) and 4 detached homes.  These are high quality townhome style condominiums on Hearth Drive in Hiwan. As such they are frequently confused with the <a href="http://www.evergreen-real-estate.com/hiwan/#hiwan-hearth-condominiums" title="Hiwan Hearth Condos" target="_blank">Hiwan Hearth Condominiums</a>.  However condos in Hiwan Clubhouse Courts are in a unique and dramatic setting since they are at the very end of the culdesac of So. Hearth Drive and almost completely surrounded by the Hiwan golf course and the driving range.</p> <p> </p> <p>There are only 8 Hiwan Clubhouse Courts homes.  All of which were built in 1979.  Another unique feature of this community, beyond being in an excellent location, is the detached aspect of some of the units.  Although Hiwan Clubhouse Courts is platted as a condo, unit A-1, a 4,483 square foot two-story is a stand alone home, as is A-2 a large single story (ranch), as well as units B-2 and B-4.  B-4 is another large ranch.</p> <p> </p> <p>Because of this design it is possible to have a luxury detached home with very little maintenance, on Hiwan Golf Course.  In some markets these could be advertised as golf course patio homes.  If you’re looking for a top-end, luxury golf course condo in <a href="http://www.evergreen-real-estate.com/hiwan/" title="Hiwan" target="_blank">Hiwan in Evergreen</a> these are hard to beat!  To see the availability of these click here: Search the Hiwan Clubhouse Courts.</p> <p>Learn more on my official <a href="http://www.evergreen-real-estate.com" title="Evergreen real estate" target="_blank">Evergreen real estate</a> site.</p> <div class="agent_signature"> <p>Bob Maiocco</p> <p>Broker/Owner</p> <p>8z Real Estate</p> <p>(720)273-4262 direct</p> <p><a href="http://www.evergreen-real-estate.com" title="Evergreen real estate" target="_blank">Evergreen Real Estate</a> site</p> <p><a href="http://www.conifer-homes-for-sale.com" title="Conifer real estate " target="_blank">Conifer real estate</a> site</p> <p><a href="http://www.denversrealestatenews.com" title="Denver real estate" target="_blank">Denver real estate</a> site</p> <p> </p> </div> Bob Maiocco (8Z Real Estate) Thu, 15 Apr 2010 10:20:19 -0700 http://activerain.com/blogsview/1600805/hiwan-clubhouse-courts-condos http://activerain.com/blogsview/1597658/the-range-at-hiwan-golf-club-living-in-evergreen-co The Range At Hiwan-- Golf Club Living in Evergreen CO <p>The Range at Hiwan is a beautiful community nestled in the trees and within a few seconds of Hiwan Golf Club and it's driving range.  These are some beautiful homes on roughly 1/3 to just over a half acre of tall pine trees and well landscaped lawns.  There are 12 homes on this sought after real estate.  Most were built in the early nineties and are of above average condition and style.</p> <p>The Range is located between <a href="http://www.evergreen-real-estate.com/hiwan/#hiwan-hearth-condominiums" title="Hiwan Hearth Condos" target="_blank">Hiwan Hearth Condos</a>, The <a href="http://www.evergreen-real-estate.com/hiwan/#hiwan-clubhouse-courts-condos" title="Clubhouse Courts Condos" target="_blank">Clubhouse Courts Condos</a> and The <a href="http://www.evergreen-real-estate.com/hiwan/#hiwan-golf-club" title="Hiwan Golf Club" target="_blank">Hiwan Golf Club</a>.  Learn more about these fine homes and search at: <a href="http://www.evergreen-real-estate.com/hiwan/#the-range-at-hiwan" title="The Range At Hiwan" target="_blank">The Range At Hiwan</a>.</p> <p>The Range is very close to the highly acclaimed Bergen Valley Elementary school and Evergreen Middle School as well as all of the amenities of Bergen Park like the <a href="http://www.evergreenrecreation.com/facilities.php?id=6" title="Buchanon" target="_blank">Buchanon Rec Center </a>and the Blue Quill Angler-- Evergreen's premier fly fishing shop.</p> <div class="agent_signature"> <p>Bob Maiocco</p> <p>Broker/Owner</p> <p>8z Real Estate</p> <p>(720)273-4262 direct</p> <p><a href="http://www.evergreen-real-estate.com" title="Evergreen real estate" target="_blank">Evergreen Real Estate</a> site</p> <p><a href="http://www.conifer-homes-for-sale.com" title="Conifer real estate " target="_blank">Conifer real estate</a> site</p> <p><a href="http://www.denversrealestatenews.com" title="Denver real estate" target="_blank">Denver real estate</a> site</p> <p> </p> </div> Bob Maiocco (8Z Real Estate) Tue, 13 Apr 2010 14:11:55 -0700 http://activerain.com/blogsview/1597658/the-range-at-hiwan-golf-club-living-in-evergreen-co http://activerain.com/blogsview/1584330/homes-for-sale-in-wah-keeney-park-evergreen-co Homes For Sale in Wah Keeney Park Evergreen CO <p>Wah Keeney Park in Evergreen has a variety of homes for sale right now and is shaping up as a hotspot for affordable homes in the <a href="http://www.evergreen-real-estate.com/" title="Evergreen Real Estate" target="_blank">Evergreen Real Estate</a> market.

Real Estate: Things to Consider When Buying A Cabin <p>Buying a little cabin in the mountains has been a dream for many over the years and the <a href="http://www.evergreen-real-estate.com/" title="Evergreen real estate" target="_blank">Evergreen Real Estate</a> market has some great options to help make that dream come true.<span>  </span>With our history of being a getaway for writers, artists and the Denver elite of the distant past there are a wide variety of locations, styles and conditions of small cabins.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">According to our local MLS (Metrolist), In the last three years there have been thirteen one bedroom, one bath cabins sold in Evergreen with an average price per square foot of $166/foot.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">However, I strongly encourage you to resist the temptation to rely on averages.<span>  </span>For example the range of sales prices for these cabins was from $22,500.00 (!) up to $185,000.<span>  </span>So while the average price was a little over $100k, that average does not indicate<span>  </span>the value of any individual cabin.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">As in any real estate purchase location is the most important consideration.<span>  </span>In Evergreen values are affected by the relative proximity to downtown—and views/access to the lake.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">The neighborhood that the cabins are located in will effect the value dramatically as will the condition of the roads to access the home, the steepness of the driveway, even the aspect of the access road and driveway (is it north facing and holding snow into the late spring or is it south facing and already dry)</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">Cabins in <a href="http://www.evergreen-real-estate.com/upper-bear-creek-homes-in-evergreen/" title="Upper Bear Creek" target="_blank">Upper Bear Creek</a> for example, could be very valuable if they are in Troutdale, but the values drop off considerably deeper up the headwaters.<span>  </span>The cabin for sale in Rosedale is accessed from a steep, dirt road and located right in a drainage gulch (in fact it has a culvert going right through the house!).<span>  </span>This one, like many of the oldest cabins may not be eligible for financing due to age, condition and damage.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">Guidelines and regulations for cabins change from County to County and while the cabins in Evergreen in Wah Keeney Park, Mountain Park Home and Mary N Williams Estate are all in Jefferson County those in <a href="http://www.evergreen-real-estate.com/brook-forest/" title="Brook Forest" target="_blank">Brook Forest</a> and Upper Bear Creek can be in Clear Creek County—depending on how high you go.<span>  </span>Clear Creek County guidelines are a little more –lets say “adaptable”<span>  </span>in my humble opinion.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">Beyond the typical inspection issues and considerations that we deal with on all mountain homes I’ll give you three more that you might not have considered:</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst"><span><span>1.)<span>  </span></span></span>It’s important to consider your emergency egress from a mountain hideaway.<span>  </span>If your dream cabin is tucked neatly into the woods at the end of a long winding road—you’ll want to have early warning of any forest fires so you can leave!<span>  </span></p> <p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"><span><span>2.)<span>  </span></span></span>Plow truck- many of these cabins are at high altitude, on acreage, with long driveways.<span>  </span>If you plan to snuggle by the fire after a big snowstorm you’ll want to be sure you can get to your firewood (which shouldn’t be stacked against the house) and get in and out of the property in case of an emergency.<span>  </span>While many will rely on a plow service, I’m always skeptical of where I would fit in the plowman’s priority list so I use my own plow truck.<span>  </span>It’s relatively easy to plow and adds to the overall sense of independence of living in the mountains.</p> <p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast"><span><span>3.)<span>  </span></span></span>Source of heat- Many people don’t realize that some of these getaway cabins don’t have a furnace!<span>  </span>My father always said—wood keeps you warm three times: when you cut it, when you stack it, and when you burn it…<span>  </span>And of course, if your cabin doesn’t have a wood stove or a fireplace—it might also be lacking insulation and the electric heat bill might be very expensive!</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">To be sure, there are many important details to scrutinize when considering any mountain cabin.<span>  </span>You should have the assistance of a passionate and enthusiastic expert who helps you steer clear of the money pits and go into any of these homes with your eyes wide open.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">Anyway, I love these little cabins, and all the ins and outs of them.<span>  </span>If you’d like to hear some stories drop me a line or an email.<span>  </span>I’m happy to share.</p> <p> </p> <div class="agent_signature"> <p>Bob Maiocco</p> <p>Broker/Owner</p> <p>8z Real Estate</p> <p>(720)273-4262 direct</p> <p><a href="http://www.evergreen-real-estate.com"

A-2, MR-1 and MR-2 as well as grassy meadows and several sites with large acreage.  </p> <p>While the majority of the homes are tucked into a lodge pole pine forest, some are better suited for horse with areas for pastures and even riding arenas.  Another consideration is the type of well which serves the property.  In Green Valley Ranch some homes have domestic wells (which allow for outside watering, filling troughs etc.)  but other homes have household use wells-- which do not allow watering livestock-- so be sure to have an expert help you analyze each opportunity.</p> <p>I've written more about Green Valley Ranch in Conifer on the <a href="http://conifer-homes-for-sale.com/green-valley-ranch/" title="Green Valley Ranch in Conifer" target="_blank">Conifer real estate</a> web site.  Including a quick drive-through video of the neighborhood, home search tools and proximity maps--in the video.</p> <div class="agent_signature"> <p>Bob Maiocco</p> <p>Broker/Owner</p> <p>8z Real Estate</p> <p>(720)273-4262 direct</p> <p><a href="http://www.evergreen-real-estate.com" title="Evergreen real estate" target="_blank">Evergreen Real Estate</a> site</p> <p><a href="http://www.conifer-homes-for-sale.com" title="Conifer real estate " target="_blank">Conifer real estate</a> site</p> <p><a href="http://www.denversrealestatenews.com" title="Denver real estate" target="_blank">Denver real estate</a> site</p> <p> </p> </div> Bob Maiocco (8Z Real Estate) Tue, 02 Feb 2010 16:08:31 -0800 http://activerain.com/blogsview/1470011/conifer-real-estate-in-green-valley-ranch http://activerain.com/blogsview/1449129/parody-video-of-home-for-sale-video-tour Parody Video of Home For Sale Video Tour In the spirit of Keeping Friday afternoon's light.

 Yes there is quite a bit of new construction in Cragmont, primarily on Lynx Lair where several homes have been built in the last few years.  Pricing of homes in Cragmont ranges pretty dramatically based on the location-- homes higher on the mountain with excellent views and interesting rock outcroppings will generally be more valuable than a comparable home lower, without views.  Homes near the lower meadows are usually the least expensive, starting in the low to mid $300's while the custom mountain estates on the top of the mountain, with excellent views will approach the one million dollar mark.</p> <p>There are a variety of issues to consider when looking into Cragmont including, snow removal, water, radon and the individual septic systems.  Each of these issues should be handled by an expert when performing your due diligence.</p> <p>If you are considering a home in the mountains with exceptional beauty, maybe some large granite, rock outcroppings and a variety of resident wildlife, Cragmont may just be the place!

 Street names like: Warhawk, Corsair, Marauder, Thunderbolt and Bearcat might take some back to the dogfights of World War II but in Conifer the names take us to homes in the mountains above a peaceful meadow!</p> <p>Evergreen Meadows West is easily accessed from Conifer via Highway 73 and Shadow Mountain Road.  Just a short drive up Shadow Mountain and Evergreen Meadows West is on the right.  With most roads paved and relatively gentle grades this is an easy neighborhood to fall in love with.  Many homes here have excellent mountain views and some have mountain views and views across the valley as well.  Others are nestled into the hillside providing a high level of privacy relative to how close to Conifer the community is.</p> <p>Originally developed in the 1970's some of the early homes here are reminiscent of that era with several modified A frames and quite a few Mountain Rustic two stories, homes have been built through the eighties and nineties with more and more architectural diversity and some very impressive mountain contemporary homes. With approximately 210 houses originally planned for Evergreen Meadows West this is a large community with plenty of space for a variety of styles.  Although with SR-2 zoning zoning the overall atmosphere is one of low density and dense lodgepole forest.  The zoning allows for horses although non of the homes I have sold in Evergreen Meadows West had adequate land or water for horse.  However, a quick drive through will reveal that a few homes have worked it out to sustain a horse operation.</p> <p>For more information on Evergreen Meadows West and to see a video of the

known as Kings Valley Custom Resorts is one of Conifer's largest neighborhoods.  WIth over 340 homes in Kings Valley-- there is a wide variety of homes available!  The neighborhood is easy to find and located just past Richmond Hill south of the Conifer Town Center on US Highway 285.  Kings Valley is on the north side of 285 and is easily recognizable by the new Kum & Go convenience center at the turn off.</p> <p>Homes in Kings Valley Range from modest mountain cabins perched on cliffside up to newer custom homes.  Many homes have amazing views of Pikes Peak, Lion's Head and the brand new Staunton State Park.  </p> <p>Lot sizes range from just big enough for a building site up to several acres.  However, due to the steep nature of Kings Valley, it's not uncommon for a seemingly large home site to only have a very small building site and yard.  Driveways are also an important consideration since many of the driveways can be a challenge in the middle of winter for a car or even an SUV if the tires aren't in top shape!  Keep in mind that the elevation of Kings Valley homes can range from 8,000 feet up to almost 9,000 feet!</p> <p>There are many important considerations when considering a Kings Valley home including the unique water issues and more.  I have outlined these in my blog at <a href="http://www.Conifer-homes-for-sale.com">www.Conifer-homes-for-sale.com</a>

Evergreen West | Witter Gulch <p>Evergreen West is the community along Stagecoach Road west of Highway 74 (Evergreen Parkway) and up Witter Gulch Road in Jefferson and Clear Creek Counties.  Homes in Evergreen West have some of the best views anywhere and the highest homes here have the highest elevations of any Evergreen real estate.</p> <p>Homes in Evergreen west are accessed from Stagecoach Road and Witter Gulch as the primary arteries although there are quite a few side roads as well including Snyder Mountain Road which has quite a few homes clustered on and around it. Witter Gulch Road connects Upper Bear Creek with Squaw Pass Road.</p> <p>Evergreen West has terrific access to Bergen Peak and the Elk Meadows Open Space including the west entrance to Elk Meadows.

http://activerain.com/blogsview/1390200/brook-forest-evergreen-colorado Brook Forest Evergreen Colorado <p>Brook Forest in South Evergreen has homes for sale in Jefferson County and Clear Creek County.  These are mountain homes to be sure!</p> <p>The history of Brook forest dates back to the days when writers and artists would use the beauty of this wonderful area as inspiration for their work.  As such many of the homes in Brook Forest are smaller cabin style homes including a few one bedroom one bath homes!  That said, there are also custom homes and a little bit of new construction here and there.  There's an old rumor that Jesse James buried some loot in Brook Forest but I have not run across any...  Yet.</p> <p>One of the greatest features of Brook Forest is its proximity to the vast Arapahoe National Forest with a variety of hiking and some mountain biking trails leading in all directions including up into the Mount Evans Wilderness area (no biking).  Cub Creek flows along Brook Forest Road and offers great fly fishing for small trout as well as beautiful scenery! </p> <p>Follow this link to see more about <a

http://activerain.com/blogsview/1389583/evergreen-park-estates Evergreen Park Estates <p>Evergreen Park Estates is located just south of Wilmot elementary school in south Evergreen.  Typically these are older homes in a gently rolling mountainside setting although there are quite a few homes in the lower meadows close to Buffalo Park Road.</p> <p>Many of the hoes are horse properties of an acre or two with some larger sites here and there.  There is very little new construction since the community was developed in the 1960's-- most sites have already been built on.  However, there are quite a few remodels.</p> <p>Follow this link to see the video and search map for <a href="http://www.evergreen-real-estate.com/evergreen-park-estates/" title="Evergreen Park Estates"
