A Shores Thing in Breck

Located on a stretch of Blue River, just across the street from the Jack Nicklaus-designed Breckenridge Golf Club, The Shores is getting back the radar of buyers looking for a mountain home. After being slowed by the market turndown between 2007 and 2013, the resort community recently received approval from the town of Breckenridge to begin constructing 2,250-square-foot single-family residences in addition to its existing paired home offerings. 

Once complete in 2018, the community will consist of 56 residences, all with unprecedented access to the Blue River. “Surrounded by open space, the community’s location offers recreation from fly-fishing, to mountain biking to hiking on the nearby Colorado Trail,” says Noah Hahn, managing partner of Boulder-based Meriwether Companies, which owns the community in partnership with San Diego-based Pathfinder Partners LLC.

Hahn says the resurgence in homebuyers in mountain towns reflects an improved home market, a healthier overall economy and consumer demand for destinations that offer year-round outdoor activities. Recent data reveals that the average prices in Colorado mountain towns such as Frisco, Copper Mountain, Dillon, Keystone and Breckenridge have risen every year since the economic downturn, with prices in certain areas growing at a faster rate than Metro Denver. Also fueling The Shores’ success, he says: pent-up demand for new construction in mountain towns. shoresbreckenridge.com
