Description

A few years ago, Carriage Hills resident Bob Leavitt gazed across the Southern Estes Valley from the top of Lily Mountain and wondered how all this development got started (especially Carriage Hills). Then one day, a local historian told Bob, "I think there was an early ranch in the Southern Estes Valley." Intrigued, subsequent research by Bob confirmed that there was indeed an early ranch (the second one in the Estes Valley) and identified the owner as a man named James McLaughlin. Exactly where was it located, and what became of the ranch and its owner? To answer these and other questions, Bob spent several years researching the history of the Southern Estes Valley. Follow his journey as he brings to light fascinating untold stories of the early settlement and subsequent development of the Southern Estes Valley. Most of Carriage Hills was once owned by the Earl of Dunraven as part of his famous land grab in the Estes Valley. The land passed through several owners until it was finally developed as the Carriage Hills subdivision. As Carriage Hills grew to several hundred homes, a fierce battle erupted over the proposed annexation by the Town of Estes Park. Though annexation was ultimately rejected, it involved issues that still resonate today whenever annexation is discussed. The second half of this book details the growth of Carriage Hills and nearby subdivisions from the 1960s to today and includes comments and photos from longtime residents. Who were the first developers in Carriage Hills? When and where were the first homes built? What challenges did the residents face? These and other questions are answered in the second half of the book.
