Long a magnet for winter sports enthusiasts, Breckenridge, Colorado, is a year-round destination with a historic Main Street, an annual film festival and an active second-home market.

Among the most sought-after residences are ski-in and ski-out houses such as this slope-side three-level along Peak 8, where the mountain first opened runs in 1961.

Set at the end of a road, the wood-and-stone mountain home was designed with oversized spaces for entertaining a crowd.

The rotunda entry contains a sweeping circular staircase with wrought-iron railings. An elevator also provides access to the three floors.

The main living area is the great room with a double-sided stone fireplace, vaulted wood-beam ceilings and a wall of glass that opens to a deck and looks out on a ski run and open space.

The windows in the adjacent dining room, which can easily accommodate a table for 10, look up at the Breckenridge Ski Resort.
