be what motivates buyers to own a home at Green Valley Ranch. But combine that with a thoughtful master plan, and new homes like those at The Enclave, and you understand why it’s one of Denver’s fastest growing communities.

Frost Creek LOCATION: Four miles south of Eagle PRICE: Home sites from $250k to $650k SIZES: Home sites from one to six acres PHONE: 970-455-3072, Kakie Holland, Director of Sales WEBSITE: FrostCreek.com

FROST CREEK is a private, four-season luxury

golf and mountain club located on 1,100 idyllic acres adjoining the pristine wilderness of the White River National Forest. The community’s home sites underscore a key reason why families are drawn to Colorado’s High Country—views of the mountains. Set in the Brush Creek Valley, Frost Creek is the ideal Rocky Mountain retreat, which may just explain why more than 35 home sites have already sold.

COMMUNITY FLAVOR: An impressive 40,000-

square-foot clubhouse with a fine-dining restaurant is just one of Frost Creek’s amenities. A Tom Weiskopf-designed championship course, a tennis and sport court, Olympic-sized pool, and miles of soft surface hiking and biking trails give members numerous ways to stay fit and relax.

• Family Pursuits: Members and their families take to the outdoors for Frisbee golf, bocce ball, croquet, group day hikes, road and mountain biking, stand up paddle boarding and yurt glamping • Luxury Cabins: National members and guests can stay at one of Frost Creek’s 10 beautifully appointed, member “cabins” or glamour camping yurts. coloradoavidgolfer.com

HOT SPOTS: The town of Eagle has a personality all its own.

• Bonfire Brewing: Craft ales and live tunes fill the festive tap room. bonfirebrewing.com • Renowned Mountain Biking: Eagle is home to more than 100 miles of singletrack trails.

OUTDOORS: Between onsite golf, fly-fishing, mountain biking, snowshoeing, sledding, ice skating and cross-country skiing, it’s no wonder Frost Creek earned 2017 and 2018 CAGGYs as the Best Private Mountain Club.

• Fly-fishing: Members can test their angling skills along Brush Creek, two and a half miles of private fly-fishing waters and onsite stocked ponds.

• Hiking & Biking: The neighboring public lands and State Park have hiking, Jeep touring and mountain biking trails—all accessible from the club.

• Skiing & Snowboarding: The club is a great basecamp to access Vail and Beaver Creek for a day on the slopes.

83

LOCAL KNOWLEDGE While the Vail Valley is exceptionally popular year-round, being “off-the-beaten-path” sets Frost Creek apart from its busier valley counterparts.

Sales velocity continues at Frost Creek, and new member cabins were recently added to accommodate a growing national membership.

WHY MOVE HERE? 1. Frost Creek is a low-density community focused on providing considerable four-season adventures.

2. Home site pricing by acreage is very favorable when compared to other Rocky Mountain golf communities.

3. You can select your builder and architect and determine your construction time frame.

National Members Call Frost Creek “seCond Home” Frost Creek, a private luxury golF and mountain Club located just outside Eagle, Colo., has become a “second home” for many of its National Members, both figuratively and literally speaking. The Club, which is situated around a world-class Tom Weiskopf-designed mountain golf course, has 10 member cabins and two luxury yurts for use by National Members and their guests.

Frost Creek also offers a variety of available 1-6 acre homesites for purchase priced from $250,000 to $650,000. Both have made Frost Creek accessible and beloved by out of town members.

Jeff Adams, a Denver-area resident, joined Frost Creek in the summer of 2017.

Adams grew up camping and fishing at nearby Sylvan Lake. He knew the Brush Creek Valley where Frost Creek is located and had many fond memories.

“I’ve always loved the area and paid attention as the golf course and infrastructure were built. However, I really started paying attention when Chad Brue bought the club and launched Frost Creek. I liked the vision for the club and friends raved about the course,” Adams said. “Last summer we came up to check it out and I knew I wanted to join the minute we came through the gate.”

The Adams family did join Frost Creek and have utilized the member cabins and yurts “We’ve been here seven or eight times several times since. They even since we joined. Every time we leave, we visit Frost Creek in the winter can’t wait to get back.” and use it as base camp to ski - Brent and Julie Russell, Dallas, TX Beaver Creek.
