glacier view meadows: Second Chance to Acquire this Mountain Home in Glacier View Meadows - 02/15/12 10:30 AM
Second Chance to Acquire this Mountain Home in Glacier View Meadows.
55 McKenna Court is Back on the Market!
 
When I see a home come back on the market, I wonder Why?  What happened?  What went south in negotiations or with the buyer’s loan?   Worse, what’s wrong with the house?
 
 
It wasn’t a problem with the house and I can’t talk about the 1st buyer….
 
 
But their loss is your gain.

glacier view meadows: Glacier View Meadows and Red Feather Lakes, Colorado Weather - 02/08/12 09:04 PM
Glacier View Meadows and Red Feather Lakes, Colorado Weather
Last Friday it snowed and it snowed …and it snowed a lot!  “They” say it’s unusual for us to get this much snow in February!

There is something quite peaceful about being snowed in, but after one day of it, it’s great to get out of the house and drive.
So far, my travels have only been up and down the Red Feather Lakes Rd. to the office.   It’s a nice drive and I think the land covered in snow and our beautiful cerulean blue skies are so pretty.

glacier view meadows: Drummer on the Roof in Glacier View Meadows - 06/04/11 12:54 PM
Drummer on the roof in Glacier View Meadows
In Northern Colorado we don't have the "Woody Woodpecker" type of woodpeckers; instead we have the Northern Flicker.
A Northern Flicker has claimed this part of Glacier View Meadows as his territory and has been drumming on our stove pipe early every morning for about a week.
Apparently woodpeckers don't have a mating call in their vocabulary, so they use their drumming to attract a mate and/or claim their territory.    
His hard beak hits the metal pipe in a rapid beat then we hear his unique cackle call followed by another round … (17 comments)

glacier view meadows: Colorado Mountain Home: Maroon Bells Cr., Livermore CO - 05/15/11 11:02 AM
Your new Colorado Home could be this new listing at 439 Maroon Bells Circle in Livermore, CO. 
The road it sits on is named for peaks located across the Continental Divide in the Elk Mountains, near Aspen Colorado: as you see here >
These strikingly beautiful, bell shaped and deep red colored peaks are one of the most photographed sites in North America.
The Maroon Bells are bewitching but hiking to the summit can be deadly; a bronze marker titled the Deadly Bells warns climbers of the difficulty and danger of Maroon Peak (elevation 14,156 feet) and North Maroon standing at 14,014 feet … (19 comments)

glacier view meadows: Red-Tailed Hawk in Livermore, CO - “You talkin to me?” - 03/24/11 10:37 PM
I was looking out the window today and a saw this beautiful Red-Tailed Hawk perched high on the tree top. I ran to get the camera, certain that he would fly away before I returned. 
Quickly and as quietly as possible I removed the window screen....And he began to turn

 
He looked right at me!     "YOU TALKIN TO ME?!!! ( you crazy blogger)"
Red tailed hawks are North America's most common hawk.  I see them often but have never been able to catch one with the camera.
Meet DeNiro, my first Red Tailed Hawk.

glacier view meadows: When is Brown Beautiful? - 02/16/10 04:32 PM
Last weekend,  I had the pleasure of showing a few homes in Glacier View Meadows and Red Feather Lakes Village.  I had contacted the buyers about a new listing on the market and they wanted to see it.
They were surprised to find very little snow up here.
Because of snow  concerns, they had put off their plans to look for property until Spring!
Spring is when we usually get the big snows.  March in particular can be the snowiest month.  I have seen it snow as late as Memorial Day! 
There wasn't much accumulation on that Memorial Day, but it was cold, wet … (39 comments)

glacier view meadows: "Fort Collins" Colorado Mountain Property: How far is it? - 07/03/09 11:08 AM
Very often, we get telephone calls from people who are relocating to the Fort Collins area, but want to live in the mountains. They are calling from their Out-of-State Home while searching on the Internet for housing.
This is a really difficult way to search for properties, when you're not familiar with the area! 
Finally, they will give in, make the telephone call and ask the question:  "How far is it?"
Because I commuted to Fort Collins for nearly 13 years, I think I'm the perfect candidate to answer that question!  If you want to live in the mountains, particularly in Glacier … (28 comments)

I had a lot listing.
On January 24th, I posted my lot to Craig’s list, OOdle, Zillow, Trulia. ActiveRain localism -  every website I could think of, to reach as many buyers as possible.
Not 4 hours after the lot was posted, I got a call!
I called the gentlemen back, as fast as I could!
He had several questions about this lot.
How level is it ? 
does it have trees? 
where is it located? 
how close are the neighbors?……..I knew all of the answers!
(I love it when a buyer calls on my listing!)
In order to “reserve’ the … (26 comments)
