Rarely does a mountain property offer the combination of direct Brown's Creek frontage, views of Mt. Antero, a private 2-acre setting, and an ideal location between Buena Vista and Salida. Located in the desirable Mesa Antero subdivision in Nathrop, this custom mountain home offers the tranquility of Colorado mountain living while remaining minutes from the amenities and outdoor adventures of both towns. Brown's Creek runs along the property, creating a truly special setting. Enjoy the sound of the creek from multiple outdoor living areas while mature aspens and pines provide privacy and a beautiful natural backdrop, with views of Mt. Antero completing the setting. A custom arched front door welcomes you into an inviting great room, where a wood-burning stove provides a cozy focal point, complemented by in-floor radiant hot-water heat throughout. The living spaces flow naturally between the great room, dining room, breakfast room, and well-appointed kitchen with pantry. The dining room features a wall of windows and sliding glass doors opening onto the back deck, framing mountain views. A side entrance opens to a patio overlooking the aspen grove and flows into the kitchen, with convenient access to the laundry room. The floor plan offers privacy and flexibility: the owner's suite, a guest bedroom/office with its own fireplace, and a full bath on one side; a separate guest wing with two bedrooms connected by a Jack-and-Jill bath on the other. A bonus room above the garage adds flexible space for an office, studio, or media room. Outside: a two-car garage, generous circular driveway, front and side porches, back deck, and multiple sitting areas overlooking Brown's Creek, aspen groves, and Mt. Antero. Offered with furnishings displayed throughout; select furnishings available by separate negotiation. Situated between Buena Vista and Salida, with exceptional hiking, fishing, boating, biking, skiing, and access to the Arkansas River Valley in every season
