A place of tranquility and peace. A Place to call "Home."

In Crestone, we live a lifestyle in harmony with nature. Surrounded by National Park Forest and Fish & Game Wildlife Preserve, this extraordinary and unique eco-system is home to deer, bear, elk, coyote, antelope and mountain lion. nestled on a mountain slip within Aspen, Juniper and Pine forests, this wilderness community features breathtaking views of the 14,000 foot Sangre de Cristo Mountain Range and the vast San Luis Valley.

With magnificent trail heads, lakes in the mountains and a state campground, Crestone offers the best outdoor activities. The mountain air is clean and the water is pristine. Fiery shades of coral and gold create spectacular sunsets at the end of the day, casting impressionistic tones on the rugged mountain slopes.
