What is the definition of "Special"? The dictionary defines it as "Surpassing what is common or usual, exceptional or distinct among others of its kind". This home is the very definition of "Special". Located a few minutes from both Ridgway with its rich mining history and Ouray, a historic mining town, it affords you the opportunity to easily take advantage of everything the area has to offer not the least of which are hiking, biking, enjoying art galleries, live music and plays as well as fabulous restaurants. A quick hop onto Hwy. 550 takes you to Montrose for major shopping and Telluride with all its many activities and festivals in the summer and world class skiing in the winter. The terraced decks and patios allow for hours of enjoying the surrounding towering pines, magnificent red rock cliffs, spectacular mountain views and the changing seasonal colors: snow capped peaks in the winter, spring blooming forsythia and purple allium, the multicolored peonies in the summer, the red, yellow and oranges of the late summer daylillies in addition to the unequalled yellows and oranges of the aspens and oaks in the Fall. The home is a very open, spacious Mountain Modern masterpiece. The great room is unbelievably cozy surrounded in split cedar siding, wood beams and decking with the added charm from the wood burning stove nestled in the stone wall. The kitchen cabinets are set off by the stainless steel backsplash and appliances, granite counters and other remarkable accents. The kitchen sink overlooks the tranquil garden. The master suite is very large and features beautiful hardwood flooring, a walk thru dressing room with a double vanity, granite counter and plenty of closet space. The huge picture window affords a view of the garden and down the valley to Ridgway. An additional bedroom and bath set off by themselves provide lovely accommodations for family and friends who may just be more than comfortable and stay too long! Ditch water rights irrigate the lawns while beds are drip irrigated with Tri County water. The garage is listed as one car but is oversized. The home is being offered furnished including kitchenware but does not include the extensive art work. Unique lighting for art is in place, however. A turnkey situation that allows you to begin enjoying it immediately! This is an unequaled opportunity to retreat from the craziness of our world and spend quiet, restful time in a exquisitely beautiful setting. There are times when you simply have to experience first hand what such a special property has to offer. Come and take a look. You will not be disappointed.
