855 Main St, Silver Plume, CO 80476

"This area is away from almost everything (except 12 min to Loveland Ski Area), and there isn't a nearby 'town' as-in something with a real grocery store for about 20+ miles (Idaho Springs & Dillon are the nearest grocery stores but both are overpriced). Unfortunately if you have kids, they have to go through at least 1 poorly ranked public school (maybe 2 or 3). Employment prospects are nil unless you want to work at a ski area 1/2 the year and work at a fishing/rafting company 3-4 months of the year, and take a few months off to stress about stretching your meager earnings. But the good news is there is plenty of room for dogs and horses, although you couldn't really keep livestock here in the winter as it regularly reaches -20F before factoring in windchill, and the snow drifts to 4-5' deep. There are NO public transit opitions, nor is anything within walking distance, and there are very few public parks (but plenty of national forest and mountains to climb). Oh, and the Interstate that passes by the area gets bumper-to-bumper traffic most of the winter (plus all major holidays) from Friday night through Sunday evening, and you can't get far to get anything done on the frontage road before you'll have to get on the interstate."
