Do you dream of being self-sufficient and not relying on the grid? Do you want to have your horses close by and want to raise cattle or other livestock? Do you enjoy having elk cross your property during the migration seasons? If so, then you need to check out this 3BR/2.5BA home on 204+ acres in Southwest Colorado! The location is perfect - almost hidden but accessible year round; an easy drive to hunting, hiking, boating, biking, 4-wheeling and rock climbing plus multiple national parks. Within easy driving distance you can find high desert canyons to 14,000’ peaks . Completed in 2024, this spacious home boasts 3 well-sized bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms; the open concept flows throughout the home. The walls are a beautiful aspen wood adding the light, bright and airy feeling. The stamped concrete flooring adds to vibe of the home. In the large kitchen the oak cabinets are topped with an impressive hickory and cherry wood mix with a bar top finish. The kitchen overlooks the dining area and the living space. All of the windows overlook the land which creates a sense of peacefulness. The primary bedroom includes an ensuite bathroom and walk-in closet. The shower is beautifully tiled and includes a rain showerhead. The walk-in closet has plenty of room and more shelving could be added if desired. The other two bedrooms are well-sized, and each room includes an armoire so the occupant can arrange the room any fashion they desire. An office is a private space for anyone working from home. Walking down the corridor, you’ll come to the laundry room and then pass through the half-bath. Located off the mudroom and the workshop, this works well for cleaning up after coming in from the workshop or working outdoors. Then the workshop! The owners have their own home business in the ~1200 sf garage/workshop. There are two 240 outlets for shop equipment. The military grade 10,000 watt backup diesel generator sits just outside next to the 500 gallon diesel tank making it easy and quick to fill up the generator when needed. During cold weather you can reach out a window and flip a switch to turn on the generator without having to go out in the snow. For their electrical needs, they have 24 solar panels with 6000 watts of power with a 12,000 watt inverter which runs to a 1050 amp power batter bank. The well is also powered by solar. The feed from the well runs directly to the 1000 gallon water tank which is located in the heated garage. These owners have thought of everything! The land is currently used as pasture for their livestock, but they have dryland farmed the land in the past. The entire property is fenced and cross fenced into 4 pastures so you can rotate your animals however you’d like. A tack room stores what you need for your animals with an animal shelter outside on the back wall. When you’re ready to work or move your stock, there are four corrals with piped fencing, plus a squeeze shoot and a metal load-out that will work with semis or trailers. Four of the corrals include two automatic waters situated so that water is available in all 4 corrals and the animals will always have water. The round pen can work for horses, dogs, or whatever you need to train! There’s also a pen set up for swine. Lots to see at this property! Schedule some time to go through everything!
