For the first time since it was built, River Bend Lodge is being offered for sale by one of its original builders. Set on 1.26 acres directly along the Blue River and just two minutes from historic Main Street Breckenridge, this remarkable mountain retreat offers 8,016 square feet of living space plus approximately 1,800 square feet of basement bonus space for nearly 10,000 square feet in all. Inspired by Breckenridge's storied gold-mining past, River Bend Lodge embraces the character and history of the town. Lodge-style architecture, historic mining photographs and artwork set the tone, while two authentic street lamps that once stood on Main Street now welcome guests to the property - a tangible connection to Breckenridge history. Inside, the home was made for gathering. Expansive living spaces provide room to come together and plenty of space to spread out, with the great room centered around a large wood-burning fireplace. The oversized kitchen is equipped for a crowd with two refrigerators, two dishwashers, three sinks, and extensive workspace. The flexible floor plan includes space above the three-car garage that can live almost as a residence of its own, while the substantial basement bonus space offers even more possibilities for a gym, art studio, movie theater, or perhaps all three. Outside, the Blue River takes center stage. Just steps from the patio, a footbridge crosses the river to a small island, while a riverside sitting area creates another place to enjoy the water. Relax in the hot tub, gather on the patio, or simply listen to the river flow by. With 1.26 acres and no HOA, the setting feels remarkably spacious for a home so close to town. River Bend Lodge is a rare opportunity to own a true Breckenridge gathering place where the Blue River is part of everyday life - room for family and friends, space for generations to gather, and historic Main Street just minutes from the door.
