Comprising over 7,000 acres, and surrounded by one million acres of the White River National Forest.
Comprising over 7,000 acres and surrounded by one million acres of the White River National Forest, Cordillera is not just one neighborhood but rather four distinct, gated communities near downtown Edwards, each with its own personality and charm. Ranging in elevation from approximately 7,200 feet at the Valley Club to 9,000 feet at the Summit, Cordillera offers a unique blend of mountain living with a variety of architectural styles and world-class amenities.
At 8,000 feet, The Divide is known for its European-inspired homes and stunning views. This neighborhood is home to the renowned Lodge & Spa at Cordillera, where homeowners can enjoy fine dining at Mirador and Grouse on the Green. The Divide also offers exclusive access to the Dave Pelz-designed Short Course at The Golf Club of Cordillera. This 9-hole, par-3 course features challenging shots and fabulous views of the Vail Valley below. The Divide’s luxurious atmosphere and scenic beauty make it a coveted destination for those seeking a serene mountain retreat.
Formerly a working ranch, The Ranch reflects the American West with homes featuring log, stone, and timber architecture. The Ranch provides numerous year-round opportunities to enjoy the beauty of Colorado, including 21 miles of hiking and winter sports trails, a Nordic ski track, and more. Summer activities are enhanced by the 18-hole, Hale Irwin-designed Mountain Course, which challenges golfers with narrow fairways that follow the area’s natural terrain. The Trailhead at Cordillera, a two-story log lodge and community center, hosts the Cordillera Day Camp (or “Cordy Camp”), complete with an outdoor pool, water slide, playground, and teepees. Dining at the Timber Hearth Grille adds to the community’s rustic charm.
At 9,000 feet, The Summit offers majestic views of the Gore and Sawatch Mountain Ranges, New York Mountain, and the “Flat Tops.” The architecture here is described as “high mountain,” blending with the natural surroundings. The Summit is home to the Jack Nicklaus-designed Summit Golf Course, which, along with its clubhouse and restaurant, takes full advantage of the rugged terrain, providing challenging holes amidst sage, aspen, and spruce-covered hills. This community’s elevated setting offers a sense of seclusion while still providing access to all the amenities Cordillera has to offer.
The Valley Club is uniquely located on the Valley floor along the sunny north side of I-70, in a high-desert community that blends American West architecture with modern mountain design. The 18-hole Valley Course, designed by Tom Fazio, is sculpted into the high-mountain desert topography, offering an extended playing season due to its southern exposure and lower elevation. The clubhouse and fitness facility at the Valley Club feature an outdoor pool, hot tub, two tennis courts, and the Chaparral Restaurant, providing residents with ample opportunities for relaxation and recreation.
In addition to world-class golf, Cordillera offers a wealth of outdoor activities year-round. Residents enjoy hiking, biking, and Nordic skiing on the extensive trail network, as well as private access to 1.3 miles of the Eagle River for year-round, world-class fishing. The community also boasts five private ponds, stocked each spring with brown and rainbow trout, and an equestrian center that can board up to 48 horses. For those who don’t own horses, Bearcat Stables, located on the historic Bearden Homestead, offers sleigh rides to dinner in the winter and guided horseback adventures in the backcountry during the summer.
Cordillera’s architectural diversity, from traditional mountain lodges to contemporary designs, caters to a wide range of tastes. Many homes are custom-built, allowing residents to create spaces that reflect their personal style and lifestyle needs. The community’s commitment to environmental stewardship ensures that the natural beauty of the area is preserved for generations to come. Cordillera is more than just a place to live; it’s a vibrant community where residents can enjoy a luxurious, active lifestyle amidst some of Colorado’s most breathtaking scenery.
Located just a short drive from downtown Edwards, Cordillera residents have easy access to shops, restaurants, and essential services, blending the tranquility of mountain living with the convenience of nearby amenities. Additionally, the world-renowned Vail and Beaver Creek ski resorts are within close reach, offering even more opportunities for outdoor adventure and entertainment.
