About the property

Mountain Contemporary Retreat on 2+ Private Wooded Acres

This Mountain Contemporary home at 154 Lakeside Dr delivers a rare combination of privacy, functional storage, and comfortable alpine living. Set on just over 2 acres of wooded land in Whispering Pines, the 3-bedroom, 3-bath residence (approx. 2,040 sq ft) was designed for owners who need real workspace and usable parking: a two-car attached garage includes a dedicated workshop area and there’s an oversized detached single-car garage for overflow and toys. A generous gravel drive and additional exterior storage complete the practical layout.

Step inside to an open plan with vaulted ceilings in the main living area where a stone-accented fireplace anchors gatherings. The kitchen is equipped with full-size appliances (cooktop, oven, microwave, dishwasher, refrigerator) and flows to dining and living zones so entertaining is effortless. The main level and upper/lower living areas provide flexible bedroom and office arrangements; three full baths support family and guests. Practical touches include an in-unit laundry area and a hot tub installed on the property for year-round relaxation after a day on nearby trails.

Beyond the house, discover a private treed parcel that affords space for outdoor living, storage of recreation gear, and room for garden projects. Utilities are typical for Park County: well water, septic system, natural gas connected with propane available, and electricity. The property’s configuration and features make it an ideal primary home with hobbyist workshop needs or a high-appeal second home for families who value space and proximity to Summit County ski areas.

Location is another asset: Fairplay’s historic Front Street, local dining (including the popular High 7000 Brewery), groceries and community events like Burro Days are minutes away. Breckenridge is approximately a 35-minute drive for full resort access. If you value usable acreage, multiple garages/workshop space, and straightforward access to mountain recreation, this property is a rare find in today’s Fairplay market. Schedule a showing to walk the lot and see the workshop and storage layout in person.

Editorial market perspective

Fairplay sits on the southern edge of the Summit County buyer sphere and benefits from buyers seeking lower prices and private acreage while keeping reasonable drive times to Breckenridge. Median sale prices in Park County remain below Summit County but have shown steady appreciation since 2020 as demand for second homes and rural retreats increased. Inventory in Fairplay can tighten during spring and summer; well-equipped homes with garages, workshops, and private acreage typically attract prompt interest. For this property listed at $749,000, buyers are paying a premium for the combination of ~2 acres, multiple garages, and turnkey amenities. Sellers should expect meaningful interest from both local buyers and Denver-area buyers seeking a mountain base — pricing strategy and disclosure of well/septic records will be important drivers of transaction speed.
