Oh, Colorado – so many dream homes in the mountains, so little time to daydream about them all. Whether you're a ski enthusiast, or just love hiking and walking through the mountains, there's nowhere quite like it – and there are some seriously luxurious properties to feast your eyes on (or to buy, if you're so very lucky). From traditional log cabin-style properties to sprawling estates, we've rounded up our current Colorado favorites. If only someone would gift us one of these houses for Christmas.
