Located on 48 acres at the base of the West Elk Mountains in beautiful Western Colorado, this property features a 2200 square foot high-quality home, with an additional 2200 square feet of space in the full basement. The basement is partially finished, and features a shop, an art studio (that could be used as an additional large bedroom), plus a roughed-in bath and another roughed-in bedroom. Lots of storage space.
The main floor includes a master bedroom suite with custom tiled walk-in shower and two closets, one a large walk-in closet, and unique architechtural touches. Also on the main floor are a den, a guest bath, and two home offices with built-in desks (these could also serve as bedrooms). The den includes a window seat.
The laundry room has low-water use washer and dryer, and a counter for folding clothes.
Both bathrooms feature custom ceramic tile work, while the hallways, kitchen, living and dining rooms have white ash hardwood floors.
The kitchen is efficient and modern, with a large central island and breakfast seating, plus a pantry. The kitchen adjoins the large, open dining and living rooms. An EPA III woodstove adds warmth and atmosphere, as well as energy savings. The views from the kitchen, dining, and living rooms are
spectacular in all seasons. Most days, 20-30 deer graze in the hayfield. Occasionally, elk herds come to visit. The living room also has a comfortable window seat overlooking the field and mountains. The house has a large deck made of durable and maintenance-free polimer materials.
The two-car garage is heated, with automatic door openers.
The home has an exceptionally sturdy engineered foundation and an active radon protection system. The house features super-efficient blown cellulose insulation, and high-E double pane windows. The kitchen has a reverse osmosis drinking water system.
The small barn has an alleyway for parking equipment, a large stall for storing hay, and a moderate size stall big enough for two horses. Adjoining the barn is a fenced round pen.
The property comes with two domestic water taps, allowing the possibility of subdividing. Also included are 1,000 shares of irrigation water, sufficient for irrigating the ~22 acres devoted to hay production. (Typically, this field produces about 33 tons of very good grass hay each year).
Black Canyon National Park is ten miles south, and the West Elk Mountains are just to the east. A great view of Grand Mesa and the setting sun is to the north and west. Crawford Lake and State Park are less than three miles away.
This is the perfect property for horsemen, hunters, fishermen, and those who savor peace and quiet in a gorgeous natural setting. If you see it, you'll want it!
