It is a quiet rural community an hour or so North of Denver. From your porch, when you look to the West (see picture below), you'll see the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains. It will take you a lifetime to visit every campground and fishing spot- and those are just the official ones. There is deep lake fishing at Grand Lake, but get some fly gear, too, for the hundreds of Blue Ribbon streams. In Windsor you'll be 2 and a half hours from some of the best snowboarding and skiing in the world, and you'll be a half hour away from Rocky Mountain National Park. We also boast low taxes and small government. I live 30 miles South of Denver, but drive to Windsor area often to visit a horse I have in training there. All I can say is if you love the outdoors, you're moving to the motherland.
Plus you're only an hour from very nice metro area with all the museums and theaters that entails. It's the best of all worlds - not to mention the world class universities within an hour of Windsor for your kids (or you) to attend.
This is the exact view that awaits you.
Oh, I forgot to mention big game hunting, we have every trophy animal North America has to offer, (sorry PETA).

Windsor is horse/ranching country - there's a vet just East of there that saved our reining horse's life - she figured out a problem no one else seemed to be able to. You won't be out of place if you either wear a cowboy hat and Wranglers or have tattoos and peircings. Ft. Collins is a college town - as is Greely to your East. They are also farming towns. Quite a contrast that works for us, haha. I guess you can tell I am a booster for my state, but there's so much to offer and see. I spend most of my vacations right here camping, fishing, snowboarding, horse riding - supporting my wife's horse show dreams and rodeo riding. Today it is snowing, by next week it'll be in the seventies. Our weather is a closely held secret, one always sees us on the news when we get one of our blizzards, and we get doozies, but we have over 300 sunny days a year. We don't have humidity, 11% average, so bring lots of chapstick untill you get used to it. Bread will last two full weeks on the counter nefore it gets moldy, lol. We have 50 and 60 degree days in December and January and snowstorms in May. March is our snowiest month, but it was 70 degrees yesterday. If you can stand anymore picture, bagger, here's a couple - one of my dog on a hill not too far from my house, and one of Pikes Peak near me. PM me when you get ready to move and I'll add you to my messenger.
Mike
