Tell the driver to speed up, there are only seven left.
It’s something to think about on your ride up to the Vail Valley. The supply of prime ski-in, ski-out property is rapidly dwindling. At the same time, demand is at a record high. Which explains in part why Cresta is in such hot demand. In fact, 90% of the residences in the first two phases are already sold. And only five residences in phase three are available for pre-sale.
The other part is that these private ski-in, ski-out residences are truly remarkable. Cresta offers a unique combination of fine interior appointmens, exceptional architecture, and an incomparable location. Situated some 700 feet above Arrowhead Village, it is a secluded retreat that also offers easy access to shopping and restaurants.
And since Cresta is part of the gated Arrowhead Village, you can be sure that you property is safe and secure all year round. For details, contact Slifer Smith & Frampton Real Estate at (970) 926-3000, toll-free at (800) 535-8882.

The key to a great living space begins with an honest lifestyle assessment. What is your passion? Are you a rugged outdoor enthusiast, an avid reader, an art collector or a gardener? Maybe you are a combination of interests. Your home should be a reflection of who you are, easy to enjoy, not overpowering.
Slifer Designs was founded in 1984 on the belief that a home is for living, not just to be admired. It should be a setting for family and friends to relax and enjoy each other, a timeless place to accumulate memories for years to come.
Award winning mountain resort design has always been a specialty of Slifer Designs. In recent years the Slifer Designs philosophy has spread across the country and the mountain design look has been translated into a number of diverse design styles that suit a variety of geographical locations and resort lifestyles. Why? Because comfort, quality, timeless good taste and personality always have a place in a home whether it’s on an ocean shore, a lake, in an urban setting or the mountains.
