September is upon us! The Pumpkin Spice Latte has arrived, congrats to those who celebrate. The year is basically over. So let's gather, shall we? As mentioned, we're getting together to meet and share a drink with our wonderful neighbors **next week** on **Thursday,** at **Morris & Mae from 4 - 6pm**. ![](https://jeffcocrew.com/content/images/2025/09/Screenshot-2025-09-03-at-12.42.08---PM.png) Some indication of attendance is very helpful, if only to grab tables or bar space, so if you'd be so kind, head over here to indicate if you think you can make it! [ONE CLICK RSVP →](https://tally.so/r/wQbND1?ref=jeffcocrew.com) Let's get into it! --- ## 🏡 Looky Loo *Every other week *I poke around our local real estate market* to highlight fun finds - great deals, astronomical mansions or killer mountain cabins.* It was the roof on this [5BD, 6.5BA home in Evergreen](https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/30786-Snowbird-Ln%5FEvergreen%5FCO%5F80439%5FM11700-44746?ref=jeffcocrew.com) that got me. I told you. Nature on the roof always gets me. [![](https://jeffcocrew.com/content/images/2025/09/Screenshot-2025-09-03-at-11.31.01---AM.png)](https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/30786-Snowbird-Ln%5FEvergreen%5FCO%5F80439%5FM11700-44746?ref=jeffcocrew.com) [Coming in at a cool $4m](https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/30786-Snowbird-Ln%5FEvergreen%5FCO%5F80439%5FM11700-44746?ref=jeffcocrew.com), I also find the use of rock, wood and granite really impressive. The 23 acres of land and 2200 sq feet of patios doesn't hurt either. [![](https://jeffcocrew.com/content/images/2025/09/Screenshot-2025-09-03-at-11.31.26---AM.png)](https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/30786-Snowbird-Ln%5FEvergreen%5FCO%5F80439%5FM11700-44746?ref=jeffcocrew.com) Next up we head up market to a [$7.75m spread also in Evergreen](https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/113-Elk-Xing%5FEvergreen%5FCO%5F80439%5FM20071-30903?ref=jeffcocrew.com), which is a very nice moutain-cozy remodel that just kind of has everything. [![](https://jeffcocrew.com/content/images/2025/09/Screenshot-2025-09-03-at-11.38.25---AM.png)](https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/113-Elk-Xing%5FEvergreen%5FCO%5F80439%5FM20071-30903?ref=jeffcocrew.com) The patio game is also very strong here, and poking through the interior I just kept thinking "ah, yeah, okay, $8m gets you everything, got it". It's not a flashy place, really, it's just gorgeous and checks all the mountain living boxes. Then I saw this, and had to share. I mean, it comes with a fabrication shop.
