I am very proud to announce that the Historic Gondola House in Breckenridge, Colorado has recently been listed for sale. This truly amazing home was built in 1895 and underwent a complete renovation in 2008. Like something out of an HGTV episode, the contractors picked up the home and moved it temporarily to an adjacent lot.

The Gondola House in Breckenridge is now a five bedroom, five bathroom custom home with nearly 3000 square
