About the Property

Creekside calm, winter ski slope views, and walkable access into Lionshead with an easy Town of Vail shuttle ride to Vail Village, all from a quiet second-floor setting with no one above. This Sandstone Park residence offers a rare combination of privacy, scenery, and convenience that is exceptionally difficult to find in Vail, particularly at this price point.

The setting is experienced directly from the covered deck and throughout the main living areas, where the home’s relationship to the landscape becomes immediately apparent. From the living room, dining area, and deck table, the view looks down across the maintained lawn and Sandstone Creek, and in winter extends across the valley to Vail Mountain and the ski slopes beyond. Sandstone Creek adds the sound and seasonal energy buyers love and typically remains approachable in scale, even during spring runoff. During the warmer months, mature trees and lush greenery soften the distant slope views, shifting the visual focus to the creek, lawn, and outdoor living areas below.

Located on the second floor, the residence benefits from having no one above, along with vaulted ceilings and abundant natural light that create an open, airy feel uncommon in many condominium settings. The three-bedroom, three-bathroom layout is thoughtfully arranged to support comfort, privacy, and flexibility. On the main living level, two bedrooms plus a bunk room create an easy and functional setup for hosting, while the upper level is dedicated entirely to a spacious primary suite. The primary suite functions as a true private retreat, offering vaulted ceilings, generous proportions that easily accommodate a king bed with room to spare, and abundant natural light. The primary bathroom features a dual vanity with slab travertine countertops, a European-style glass shower finished in travertine stone tile, and a separate commode area. A large private deck extends the suite outdoors, reinforcing the connection to the creek and seasonal views below.

The kitchen and main living areas are designed for everyday use rather than presentation alone, with a generously sized kitchen for cooking and gathering, exceptionally high-end custom wood cabinetry, two bar seating areas for casual meals or entertaining overflow, and an easy flow into the dining and living spaces that keeps everyone connected without feeling crowded. A full remodel completed approximately fifteen years ago focused on quality, durability, and long-term relevance rather than trend-driven finishes. Executed at a high level and with very little use, the finishes remain highly relevant today, featuring natural materials and a warm, mountain-appropriate aesthetic.

The remodel emphasized function as much as finish, allowing the home to live more like a small house than a condominium. The entry was redesigned to support mountain living, with space to manage gear and outerwear, while lockable closets and integrated storage throughout the residence provide uncommon everyday utility.

Sandstone is valued for its proximity and livability. One Town of Vail bus stop is less than 500 feet away, with another nearby, offering easy shuttle access to Vail Village. A pedestrian bridge provides walkable access into Lionshead, and just steps away, Red Sandstone Park offers a playground, sand volleyball court, and picnic areas with grills. Nearby open space and trail access further reinforce the balance Sandstone is known for between outdoor living and village convenience.

This residence is best understood as a home chosen for how well it lives. A creekside setting, winter ski slope views from the covered deck and main living areas, second-floor privacy with no one above, and a remodel that prioritizes both function and finish combine to create a Vail home that feels grounded, flexible, and genuinely usable throughout all seasons.

VAIL

The Town of Vail is surrounded by the White River National Forest and Vail Ski Resort: home to world class skiing, biking, hiking, fishing, golfing, shopping, and dining. The town of Vail has a total area of 4.5 square miles with the Gore Creek flowing through the center of town. Elevation average is around 8,150 feet above sea level and visible from the top of Vail Mountain is the world famous “Mount of the Holy Cross”. Nestled among the stunning mountains, meandering rivers and streams, lush forests, and aspen fields, Vail always feels intimate with splendid alpine villages and friendly people. Modeled on European ski towns, many of which are car-free, the town is partially pedestrianized. The Town of Vail operates the largest free shuttle bus system in the United States and has one hybrid-electric bus. With an incredibly well developed culinary center and a variety of restaurants, Vail is also developing a cultural center, with various art and music venues active throughout the summer. Ford Amphitheater hosts several key events throughout the summer.

Piney River Ranch is only a few miles north of the Vail area.  “Piney” as people often refer to it, is set on the edge of Piney Lake, and nestled at the foot of the majestic Gore Range, Piney River Ranch is a private, forty-acre Rocky Mountain retreat, long known as a favorite wedding and day-trip destination.   Piney is surrounded by thousands of acres of backcountry within the White River National Forest.  Piney offers a variety of activities from fly-fishing, hiking, canoeing, stand-up paddle boarding, waterfalls or simply relaxing in the gorgeous natural environment.

The Vail Golf Course presents golfers with a unique 18-hole, par 71 experience that is open to the public. When snow blankets the Vail Golf Club, it becomes the full-service Vail Nordic Center. Glide along 17 kilometers of daily-groomed skate and classic track, or snowshoe on 10 kilometers of scenic trails. For a new experience, check out our 13K of fat bike trails and fat bike rentals!

The close proximity to I-70 makes it an easy jaunt to Denver International Airport and the Greater Denver area to take in shopping, professional sporting events and other cultural events offered by the Front Range area.  And the Vail Jet Center is just 31 miles west and offers flights to and from many cities making Vail one of the most accessible mountain getaways with high level cultural events throughout the year.
