Context
Mountain-adjacent luxury is a trade. Buyers gain lot character, view exposure, and acreage; they accept a longer and more weather-exposed commute window. The right read pulls comparables filtered for view orientation, lot, and access road rather than relying on town averages.

How to Read This
Rankings here are a starting point, not a verdict. Each market on this list has a distinct posture, and the right answer for any specific buyer or seller depends on the brief: pricing band, lot character, architectural posture, commute window, and the depth of the comparable set in the moment.
Across this set, working values range from $685,000 to $2.29M on the median. That spread is real and reflects genuine differences in tier, posture, and inventory composition - not error in the underlying data.
