Conifer CO Homes in Mountain Town West of Denver

If you want to get up each morning and be awed by the splendor of the Rockies, check out Conifer CO homes. Conifer is in the foothills west of Denver along Highway 285. Here you will still have access to the modern 21st century in Denver. But you might prefer the mountain ambience at 8200-foot elevations. Conifer indeed offers you the best of both worlds!

Conifer CO Mountain Homes

Conifer is far enough away from the city of Denver that it still feels like a true mountain community. At present, Conifer’s 9,000 residents strive to sustain the country atmosphere. So, you will see real estate around town featuring a mountain flavor. Log homes and cabins together with new homes nestle among the pine, blue spruce, and aspen.

Haven for Outdoor Lovers

As part of the Pike National Forest, the community forms a rural haven for horse lovers, skiers, and wildlife lovers. Recreational opportunities abound in the vicinity of Conifer with lots of gorgeous parks for outdoor recreation and national forests, including Pike National Forest and Meyer Ranch Park, for outdoor adventures. The Conifer CO lifestyle is one of substance — it is country but in no way rural; you enjoy privacy when you want it, but your neighbors are there for each other when you need them.
