Three Colorado Destinations for a Waterside Lifestyle
Although private shoreline remains limited in many parts of Colorado, several places along the state’s lakes and reservoirs offer a distinct mountain lifestyle, from a historic lakeside town to residential communities known for broad water views. Here are three standout destinations.
Grand Lake
Grand Lake sits along the northern shore of the lake of the same name, Colorado’s largest and deepest natural lake. The town occupies a particularly scenic setting, with Rocky Mountain National Park bordering it to the north and east.
Its compact downtown centers on a historic wooden boardwalk lined with restaurants, shops, galleries, and gathering spaces. Just steps away, Lakefront Park and the town-operated Headwaters Marina provide access to boating, paddling, and fishing. The setting makes it easy for residents to move between the lake, downtown, and nearby trails.
Housing ranges from longstanding cabins and condos to larger mountain homes, including a limited collection of properties close to or directly along the water with panoramic mountain views.
Grand Lake also offers year-round recreation. Summer brings boats and paddleboards onto the water, while the surrounding national park provides opportunities for hiking and scenic drives. In winter, popular activities include snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and snowmobiling.
Dillon Reservoir
Dillon Reservoir combines a picturesque mountain setting with two established towns, Dillon and Frisco, positioned on different sides of the water. The reservoir also presents expansive views toward the Gore and Tenmile mountain ranges.
Dillon Marina offers sailboat and pontoon rentals, sailing lessons, tours, kayaking, and paddleboarding. Beyond the marina, the town features a lakeside amphitheater, a full calendar of summer events, and a weekly farmers market. On the other side of the reservoir, Frisco Bay Marina provides boat and paddle-sport rentals, waterside dining, and a sandy beach area. Trails extend around portions of the reservoir, linking the water with parks and surrounding communities.
The residential experience is generally defined by proximity to or views of the water. Condos, townhomes, and singlefamily homes rise above the reservoir in Dillon, Frisco, and nearby neighborhoods, often capturing expansive water and mountain views. Swimming is prohibited under Denver Water regulations due to the reservoir’s cold temperatures and water-quality considerations, but boating, sailing, fishing, and paddle sports make it an appealing setting for a Colorado waterside lifestyle.
Horsetooth Reservoir
Horsetooth Reservoir sits just west of Fort Collins, extending for approximately 6.5 miles along the foothills. It is surrounded by public recreation areas used for boating, swimming, fishing, paddleboarding, waterskiing, hiking, and rock climbing.
Homes in the hills and established neighborhoods around the reservoir often overlook the water, foothills, or surrounding open spaces. Private shoreline is uncommon, but many properties are within minutes of boat launches, swimming areas, trailheads, and picnic spaces.
Nearby Fort Collins offers restaurants, breweries, galleries, shops, and live music in and around Old Town. The reservoir’s proximity to the city creates a lifestyle that is both outdoors-focused and practical for full-time living.

Inside the New Playbook for Luxury Golf Communities
For decades, private golf real estate mainly involved homes near a course, a clubhouse, member dining, and a calendar built around tee times. At the top of the market, that focus is broadening, with newer club communities increasingly being planned around a wider blend of residential design, hospitality, outdoor recreation, wellness, dining, and repeat travel.
Reef Capital Partners offers a valuable lens into the trend. The Utah-based real estate investment, development, and operations firm has assembled a golf-related portfolio that spans very different settings throughout the United States, including Park City, Deer Valley, and Greater Zion in Utah; Lake Anna in Virginia; South Pittsburg in Tennessee; and Telluride in Colorado.
Jared Lucero, CEO of Reef Capital Partners, describes the broader market as moving from “transactional golf to experiential golf.” In his view, the change has been shaped by several factors: limited new highend golf development after the financial crisis, a stronger premium on outdoor access after the pandemic, and buyers who increasingly treat club membership as part of how they spend time, build community, and choose where to invest.
“Today, both resort and private clubs are becoming intentional destinations where people travel to, invest in, and build social circles around.”
— Jared Lucero, CEO of Reef Capital Partners
That idea is especially visible at Marcella which spans Park City and Deer Valley, Utah, with several settings including Marcella at Deer Valley, Marcella Landing, Marcella Jordanelle Ridge, and Marcella on Main. At Marcella Jordanelle Ridge, Skyline, the first mountain course designed by Tiger Woods and TGR Design, is planned alongside Ambush, a second members-only 18-hole course by King Collins Dormer.
Marcella is shaped around year-round appeal: ski access, trails, dining, wellness amenities, racquet facilities, a golf clubhouse, family programming, and a short course expected to convert into a sledding hill in winter. Golf is still a focal point, but it works as part of a larger residential environment.
Black Desert Resort in Ivins, Utah, shows a different version of the strategy. The Greater Zion property is built around an 18-hole Tom Weiskopf-designed championship course among black lava fields and
red cliffs, but also includes residences, wellness amenities, restaurants, sports courts, and entertainment and tournament programming, including the Bank of Utah Championship, scheduled for October 1-4 this year.
Tributer Resort at Lake Anna, Virginia, adds a lakeside version of the same model. The Reef Capital Partners development is planned around Cutalong Golf Club, residential offerings, resort amenities, boating, dining, and outdoor recreation, positioning golf as part of a broader lake-oriented destination rather than a standalone club experience.
Sweetens Cove Golf Club in South Pittsburg, Tennessee, has a nine-hole King Collins Dormer course that has built a national following among golfers drawn to its unconventional design and limited format. Lucero calls it “a creative, almost artistic expression of the game,” a description that helps explain why its next phase — including a par-3 course, stayand-play cabins, dining, and Sweetens Cove Spirits components — is less about conventional resort expansion than turning a cult golf stop into a fuller travel experience.
Cornerstone Club near Telluride, Colorado, brings the model back to the private mountain-club side. The community is centered on a Matt Dusenberry and Greg Norman-designed course, dining, residential offerings, and access to Southwestern Colorado’s outdoor recreation areas. Compared with Black Desert’s resort scale or Sweetens Cove’s golf-pilgrimage feel, Cornerstone emphasizes land, privacy, and a club environment shaped by the surrounding landscape.
Lucero expects golf, hospitality, and residential real estate to keep moving closer together over the next decade. He points to short courses, putting greens, indoor practice technology, and more flexible layouts as part of that evolution, especially as clubs look to serve both serious golfers and newer players. He also notes that Reef’s properties are intended to function as a broader network, with members and residents able to move among Marcella, Black Desert, Cornerstone, Tributer, and Sweetens Cove rather than experience each property in isolation.
For luxury real estate, the takeaway is that golf communities are no longer just selling proximity to a course. They are selling access, time, privacy, and a reason to return across seasons.

I take pride in guiding clients through each step with clarity, honesty, and attention to detail, whether they are preparing to sell or searching for the right place to call home.
I work with a wide range of buyers and sellers, which allows me to thoughtfully connect people and properties in a way that feels natural and well-timed. My approach is steady and personal, shaped by long-standing relationships and a deep understanding of our local market. The focus is simple: trust, communication, and thoughtful guidance from the first conversation to the final signature.
