Lake Creek Meadows is an exclusive residential community located in the scenic Lake Creek valley minutes south of Edwards, Colorado. The community originated in 1974 and consists of luxury homes on 83 two and five acre lots.
Its quiet, rural environment along Lake Creek with wooded hillsides, open pastures, and horse properties make Lake Creek Meadows a uniquely desirable place to live in the Vail Valley. While Lake Creek and its branches is the dominant geological feature, the area has also been blessed with breathtaking southern views of the rugged Sawatch Range. Wildlife sightings, including elk, deer, bear, mountain lion, and fox, are not uncommon.
The area is predominantly surrounded by White River National Forest, Holy Cross Wilderness, and BLM land. The valley affords direct access to camping, horseback riding, hiking, biking, and 4 wheel drive wilderness trails. Within minutes, residents can access world class skiing, golf, fishing, and cultural activities.
Edwards, once a sleepy stop for travelers along I-70, has blossomed into perhaps the most popular community in the valley. It's proximity to Vail, Avon and Beaver Creek to the east and Eagle, including the Eagle County Regional Airport , to the west make it an ideal location for locals and second homeowners.
Edwards has a milder climate than up-valley communities such as Avon and Vail, which means longer summers and autumns. In addition, the area boasts some of the Valley's finest restaurants and shopping. The Riverwalk commercial area, located in the center of Edwards on the banks of the Eagle River, is a virtual community in itself with restaurants, a variety of boutique shops, a grocery store, movie theater, hotel and the other amenities. Across from Riverwalk is another commercial area, the Edward Village Center, where one can find a delightful mix of shopping, dining and nightlife. Primary and secondary schools, Colorado Mountain College, churches, parks, and athletic facilities are all within the Edwards community.
Lake Creek Meadows represents the best of the Vail Valley. Large homesites with private high mountain exclusion and beauty, yet ready access to a charming, vibrant mountain town.
