Kingdom of Breckenridge Real Estate

The town of Breckenridge was founded in 1959 by a group of gold miners and named after then Vice-President John Cabell Breckinridge. In 1887, a 13-pound gold nugget, "Tom's Baby", was discovered in Breckenridge which was the beginning of the boom times and population explosion. The Breckenridge Ski Area opened in 1961 and today has four interconnecting mountains with more than 2,200 skiable acres providing a world-class experience for visitors and locals alike. Complementing the winter experience is a 27-hole municipal golf course designed by Jack Nicklaus, a summer performance center that is the home of two orchestras and a two-month classical concert series, 4th of July Parade/Fireworks, two nationally prominent arts and crafts fairs, International Snow Sculpture Championships and many more activities throughout the year. Breckenridge's gold boom may be over but the lure continues with Summer and Winter activities for all. Breckenridge attracts 2 million visitors a year and has become one of the most popular 2nd home markets in the United States with over 65% of real estate in Breckenridge being vacation property.
