Take A Behind-The-Scenes Look At AngelView Twin Lakes

Overlooking the largest glacier-formed lakes in Colorado, AngelView Twin Lakes is the quintessential mountain community.

Located just over Independence Pass, AngelView Twin Lakes features 18 homesites.

Embodying authentic Colorado living at its best, AngelView Twin Lakes is located just over Independence Pass. The brainchild of visionary developer Alan Elias, the community features 18 homesites ranging between 3 and 4 acres at the base of Mount Elbert. “Each lot has a 20% area of influence where the buyer can build—big enough for a very large home, but it ensures that 56 of the 75 acres will remain undeveloped to protect privacy and open space,” says Elias, AngelView CEO and founder. “Elk and other wildlife come down off the mountain, and what really makes it special is the amount of water we have running through the property.”

Homes have panoramic views of Mount Elbert

The name AngelView comes from the view of Praying Angel, a naturally occurring feature that displays a host of trees in the shape of an angel overlooking Twin Lakes that is in direct line of sight of the community. Elias found the property by accident 12 years ago when he was looking for a place to build a second home for his family. “I made a promise to my beautiful wife of 34 years and my two kids that I would build a home here,” says Elias. “Over time, I realized this place was too special not to share it with others. I came up with a plan to develop that would allow other families to come in and experience it too.”

Each homesite ranges between 3 and 4 acres.

Spanning 75 acres and overlooking the largest glacier-formed lakes in Colorado, the development features seven waterfalls and a fen—a rare, self-sufficient ecosystem that is home to a wildlife preserve. Perfect for families that enjoy natural surroundings, there are miles of internal walking trails with a series of ponds that are stocked with trout and more than 8 acres of designated open space. “AngelView is an extremely unique opportunity for those looking for the quintessential Colorado mountain home,” says Sarah Woelfle, lead listing broker for AngelView and branch broker for Slifer Smith & Frampton Real Estate in Aspen. “There is no better place for your family to escape it all and enjoy the great outdoors, and also enjoy the luxury of nearby resort towns without the crowds.”

Amenities include a renovated fishing cabin with expansive porch overlooking waterfalls, a private events center and an on-site adventure concierge—a husband-and-wife team who can make recommendations on how to enjoy mountain biking, hiking, river rafting, fly fishing and skiing. A place for families to enjoy memories for generations to come, homesites start at $1,025,000. “This is a legacy for my family. It’s about celebrating close friends, nature, and getting back to the beauty we’ve lost track of in life,” says Elias. “You can’t miss it here.”
