Nestled on a picturesque 2.3-acre hilltop, this beautiful single-story ranch home offers an idyllic blend of comfort and beauty inside and out. The property boasts spectacular, panoramic views of the La Plata Mountains, Sleeping Ute, Mesa Verde, and Summit Lake. The property also has great privacy, bordering the Ute Reservation, where herds of bison or elk can frequently be seen. The main home features an inviting, open-concept layout with abundant natural light, especially in the winter months, providing passive solar warmth. Thoughtfully designed for comfort and efficiency, it includes a cozy living room with vaulted wood ceilings and large windows that enhance the spacious, airy feel of the home. It has a swamp cooler (which is largely unnecessary due to being well insulated) and has a wood cook stove and propane fireplace to keep you cozy in the winter. The home offers one bedroom and one large den offering flexibility to suit your needs. The kitchen is a true highlight with its large island and efficient design, ideal for entertaining or enjoying home-cooked meals. Beyond the main house, you’ll find a delightful guest cottage complete with a 3/4 bathroom. This 330-square-foot, self-contained space provides privacy and comfort, perfect for guests or use as an office, studio, or rental. The surrounding property also includes a large, versatile shop, a convenient woodshed, and several other outbuildings that provide plenty of storage. Fruit trees dot the property, adding beauty and bounty to the landscape. The expansive acreage also features a former pasture area, historically used for horses, offering ample space for animals or plants. This stunning property offers a perfect combination of rustic charm and modern convenience, surrounded by the natural beauty of Colorado.
