2007 HGTV Dream Home Winner - Winter Park, Colorado
HGTV selected Winter Park, Colorado for the site of their 2007 Dream Home because it offers a wide variety of interesting things to do, as well as its beautiful setting. Receiving between 300 and 400 inches of snow every year, Winter Park is perfect for skiing and other winter sports, and nestled within a million acres of parkland, it's wonderfully secluded. However, it's also a short drive from Denver, with all of the big city's attractions. The house itself is designed in a rustic, yet sophisticated style with a lodge room in the entrance hall, an ultimate media room, and even its own observation deck.Winner of the 2007 HGTV Dream Home:
