Nestled on a peaceful mountainside just minutes from the Grand Mesa National Forest, this inviting Cedaredge retreat offers the perfect blend of privacy, comfort, and Colorado adventure. Set on nearly half an acre with no HOA or covenants, the property provides the freedom to enjoy mountain living your way while remaining just a short drive from downtown amenities, schools, golf, shopping, and dining. Inside, the well-maintained raised ranch features 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and welcoming living spaces designed to take advantage of the surrounding views. A stunning floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace with a pellet stove insert creates a warm focal point, while real wood and luxury vinyl plank flooring add timeless character and durability throughout much of the home. The functional layout offers comfortable everyday living with plenty of room for family and guests. (The lower-level third bedroom is non-conforming due to the lack of an egress window.) Step outside to discover outdoor spaces that truly shine. The beautifully tiered landscaping, enhanced by an impressive stone retaining wall, creates usable yard space, while the elevated observation deck is the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee, take in the mountain views, or unwind beneath Colorado’s incredible night skies. A spacious circular driveway provides abundant parking and easy access to both the main level and the walk-out basement. Built for peace of mind, the home features durable cement siding, a metal roof, 200-amp electrical service, city water, and septic. Whether you’re looking for a full-time residence, a weekend mountain escape, or a home base for year-round recreation, you’ll love having hiking, fishing, hunting, and countless outdoor adventures just minutes away. Experience the best of Western Colorado living where mountain views, small-town charm, and endless possibilities come together in one exceptional property.
