Large house with swimming pool south of Denver, Colorado, USA
Our home is a comfortable 4 bedroom house in Colorado, about 45 minutes from Denver and an hour and a half from the Rocky Mountains National Park. The house is on 5 acres, great views all around, lots of privacy, trees, lawn and garden around it. In the back there is a large deck with outdoor grill, overlooking the swimming pool. The front of the house has a patio with view of the mountains in the distance. The ground floor has a kitchen with modern appliances and breakfast area, dining room, living room, family room with fireplace and a 64 inch plasma TV and CD player, an office that has a PC with internet connection and printer, a den that can also be used as the 5th bedroom, laundry room and a bathroom. Upstairs two of the four bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms and there is another bathroom.
Parker is a small city south of Denver. We are actually in Parker Township, about 10 miles east of its center, in a peaceful country setting, at the eastern border of Douglas county. In this development, appropriately named "Sky Rim" due to the views, all our neighbors have large lots, some keep horses. With all the privacy we have and like, our place is not remote. There are shopping centers not far, the largest, Southlands, is 10 minutes by car, it has dozens of stores, also restaurants, cinemas, medical facilities and other services. There are parks and playgrounds all around. Denver's airport is about 35 minutes away via the E470 expressway.
Although Colorado is renowned for its natural beauty and world famous ski resorts, there are also other attractions: summer music and film festivals, good restaurants, museums, state and county fairs, rodeos, thermal spring resorts, the USA Pro Challenge bike race in August. Besides the "mile high" city of Denver, other places are also well worth a visit: Boulder, Colorado Springs, Vail, Aspen, Telluride, Crested Butte, Steamboat Springs.
There are great places to see in neighboring states as well, for example the Grand Canyon in Arizona, the Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming and other national parks in Utah.
