I now know that the Concierge Auctions program is another tool I can offer to my listing clients, and I look forward to working with them again.”

About The Location
Ideally located, 650 Golden Willow Road is only a 7-minute drive to Downtown Evergreen, 40-45 minutes to Denver and 1-2 hours from world-class skiing & mountain resorts. Welcome to a place where city and mountain living come together – a place where, truly, the elk and buffalo roam.

The best things in life seem to come together in this quaint mountain town – friendly people, beautiful mountain vistas, thick pine forests, wildlife, and abundance of recreational, social and business opportunities. From cabins to castles, neighborhoods to secluded acreage, Evergreen offers old-fashioned amenities like privacy, elbow room, panoramic views, the magnificence of undisturbed nature at every turn, quiet and tranquility.

If one thing sets this unincorporated community apart, it is the altitude. At more than 7,000 feet, Evergreen encompasses about 130 square miles of pine and aspen-laden hills. It sprawls from the flanks of 14,260 foot Mount Evans on the west, to the edge of the high plains on the east; from its sister communities of Conifer and Aspen Park on the south to the residential communities of Genesee and Lookout Mountain on the north. Streams run full to their banks with clean rushing water, grassy mountain meadows explode with the colors of wildflowers and crisp mornings are accented with clear mountain air. We share our land with foxes, elk, tassel-eared squirrels, hummingbirds, and abundant other wildlife. Wildlife, beautiful flora and breathtaking vistas are everywhere. Avid campers often stow their gear permanently when they move to the area because they can enjoy our national surroundings from the comfort of their own homes.

About 30,000 people call Evergreen home. Residents are artists, engineers, scientists, carpenters, retailers, homemakers and heads of corporations. Many work in nearby Denver and escape home to the high country at the end of the day; others both live and work in the community. This is a community where cowboys in pickup trucks, joggers and cyclists all share a strong sense of pride in their unique mountain town.

Many have been attracted to Evergreen because of the quality of life. Mountain peaks, thick conifer forests and lush meadows harbor a wealth of wildlife, as well as unlimited opportunities for recreations. In Evergreen, purchasing a quality home, supporting quality schools and paying taxes for quality government costs less than in metropolitan areas on either coast. Other residents have chosen Evergreen because of its proximity to Denver. They enjoy all the big city has to offer – international museum exhibits, national sports competitions, world-class restaurants – but prefer to live in this tranquil mountain community.

With an average of 300 sunny days each year, Evergreen’s weather forecast calls for clear skies and mild temperatures and low humidity. Residents are renowned for enjoying the outdoors more than most folks because they can comfortably be outside all year around. In summer, temperatures in the high country range from the high 70s to the low 80s. Clouds gather for an occasional afternoon shower. In winter, daytime temperatures average 40 degrees. Nighttime lows can dip into single digits. An average of 90 inches of snow falls throughout the winter, but storms usually are befit and interspersed with sunny days, with much of the snow melting between storms.

Evergreen is possibly the best-located town in the state of Colorado. Only 30 miles west of Denver, Evergreen is a 30-minute traffic-free commute to most office parks and downtown Denver with its many amenities and sports venues. Located west of Denver places Evergreen within a 30 to 90 minute drive to Colorado’s world-class ski areas. We have many open space parks, recreation areas, Evergreen Lake and Lake House which offers a number of water sports which include boating, fishing, ice fishing and ice skating during the winter months. The community is afforded 
recreational opportunities, which include mountain biking, hiking, running, horseback riding and much more.

Evergreen is a small town with a great sense of community and offers a range of events, which include the annual rodeo and parade, free summer music concerts, music festivals and on New Year’s Eve a skate the lake party. Upper Bear Creek is Evergreen’s most celebrated community. 
Just two minutes from the award-winning Tall Grass Spa, residences range from cozy cabins along the river to multi-million dollar homes and ranches. Willy Nelson owned a ranch until the 1980’s that is just down the road from 650 Golden Willow.

Just up the street from 650 Golden Willow is another gated community, Eagles Nest. Vacant land in Eagles Nest has sold for over $1 million, and homes range to 20,000-square-feet. Many distinguished homes line the riverfront on Upper Bear Creek Road, and closer to Evergreen Lake is the Troutdale neighborhood. Troutdale was a splendid mountain hotel in the 1930’s that hosted movie stars, business moguls and heads of state. Today, a small residential community with homes worth over $2 million sits on the historic Troutdale land. From 650 Golden Willow, Colorado Highway 103 can be accessed via Witter Gulch. Highway 103 leads to National Forest Land, Echo Lake and Mt. Evans. Numerous Mountain Park Land plots, open space parks and state wildlife areas dot upper Bear Creek and Evergreen.
