Northern CO Mountains "Love it I want to die there"

By
Real Estate Agent with United Country Ponderosa Realty, Red Feather Lakes, Colorado

The other day I received a lead, requesting more information on a vacant lot I have listed in Glacier View Meadows.           

In the comments section, the individual entered:

                                                        “love it , i want to die there”

It just struck me funny, and I hoped they were planning on purchasing the property before they died there…( It would be horrifying to find a corpse on the lot at the next showing!)

…. but then I do have a twisted sense of humor!

.

 

It’s amazing how many people in our mountain communities have told me that they love it here so much, they plan to die here, too!  

No way are they EVER moving. 

NOPE,

They are not leaving until they are carried out feet first!

 

It is a beautiful, and unique area that so many of us love to LIVE in.  I could list a hundred reasons why the quality of life in the Red Feather Lakes/Livermore area is so great.  

I’m not sure if picking out a place to die is top-of-mind for most buyers; but who knows?  Once you live here, maybe you will want to stay here for the remainder of your days too.

“Views to die for”

“I think I died and went to heaven”

Hi Mary!  You do live in a mountain paradise, and it is easy to see why buyers and residents would want to live and die there!  

I'm sure you have quite a bit of mileage left on you so enjoy those beautiful views and keep selling those lots that are to die for!

Have a great start to your week, Mary!

Hi Bruce, apparently I do not know how to click the comment button and make my comments stick -)  Well, I hope I do have a lot of mileage left here...I'm concentrating on living- I suppose dying will take care of itself! LOL  Thank you for coming by, I hope your week goes well!

Hi Joan, it was a first- I have never had a buyer say that before! Thanks for stopping by today - I thought I commented earlier, but guess I didn't hit the right button!

A part of my soul, you know, Mary, is always in the Colorado Rockies. It never really leaves you even if you move away. I love it in the summer, but not so much in the winter. Which is why I will probably die in Hawaii.

Hi Elizabeth, I know you are a Colorado girl at heart - but Hawaii is very nice place to LIVE too!  Thanks for coming by, always nice to see you, friend.

Good evening Mary Douglas ,

These photos are amazing and got such a chuckle over your sayings but the one I think is approapriate is “A little Peace of Heaven on Earth!”

Hi Jeffrey, I guess I try not to think about it!  My Uncle died on the beach, I like to think he was at peace and it was a good way to go..thankfully he did not get washed away though!  Thanks for your thoughts on it I appreciate that!
