Dunafon Castle is located 15 ½ miles west of Denver in beautiful Bear Creek Canyon on Denver Mountain Parks roads: six miles west of Mt. Morrison Colorado, and six miles east of Evergreen, Colorado, midway between Pokoh's Peak and Kittredge. Low altitude 6640 feet above sea level, (front yard).
The castle, completed in 1941, is built on a peninsula facing one of the finest views to be seen anywhere. The crystal-clear waters of Bear Creek flow around this place in a semicircle, which adds much to its beauty and splendor and the evolutionary sound of this roaring stream and other water falls adds to its value, promoting rest and sleep.
The nearest house, that of C.C. Gates, (Gates Rubber Company) is approximately one mile up stream. The Dunafon property consists of approximately one hundred forty acres and is bordered on the west by one of Denver's finest mountain parks.
