Description

A detached single-family home you can walk to the lift from is one of the rarest things in Keystone, where nearly everything within walking distance of the slopes is a stacked condo. This is that home. Tucked into the Sanctuary neighborhood a short stroll from the Peru Express, it backs to protected open space with a creek running along the property line. No shared walls, no village noise, and nothing behind you but trees and water. The house lives larger than you expect. Across 3,640 square feet, the main levels carry the light and the mountain views, while the lower level runs like its own guest wing: a second ensuite primary, a bunk room the kids will fight over, and a rec room with a theater area and pool table. A full family group sleeps here comfortably, and nobody ends up on an air mattress. Outside, three decks, a firepit patio, and a private hot tub mean the after-ski hours are as good as the on-mountain ones. Then there is the ownership math, which is where this property separates from the pack. The HOA handles all exterior upkeep, siding, staining, roofing, decks, and irrigation making it a true lock-and-leave that asks nothing of you between visits. And Keystone is the most rental-friendly incorporated town in Summit County: no cap on short-term rental licenses. Keystone is also mid-transformation. The Bergman Express expansion made it Summit County's largest ski area by acreage, and the new Kindred Resort just brought the county's first full-service luxury hotel to the base village, a short walk away. The town itself incorporated in 2024 and is investing in year-round vitality. You are buying into the growth, not after it. An attached 2-car garage keeps the gear and the cars out of the snow. Film buffs may recognize the house from the holiday movie "The Dog Who Saved Christmas Vacation," which filmed here. Walk to skiing in winter, to River Run's festivals and dining the rest of the year, and come home to the quietest street in town.
