Many possibilities and potential for adding rentals. Could be a rock climbers dream! The main home is a custom, artsy retreat with three spacious bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a loft, and soaring ceilings that fill the home with natural sunlight. Besides a mini split and gas fireplace to keep you comfortable the 4-season sunroom supports mountain views year-round. Also includes an open air back porch to enjoy good weather with the perfect balance of comfort and mountain charm. The front porch features a hot tub, while outside you'll find an above-ground pool with pool house and large deck ideal for entertaining. The rock cliffs along the brow provide an inspiring vantage point, where each day brings a new scene-brilliantly clear skies, rolling clouds, and ever-changing views of the valley below. Beneath the home, you'll find a garage and workshop space perfect for storage or projects. The grounds are just as impressive, with raised bed gardens, a variety of fruit trees, a greenhouse, and thoughtfully designed drainage improvements throughout. The property also includes a separate 1-bedroom, 1-bath home with kitchen, living room, and loft, offering incredible options for a family compound, guest space, or income-producing rental. Two detached pole barns, a storage shed, circle drive, and even caves for rock climbing enthusiasts enhance this unique mountain escape. With new mini splits, additional insulation, and encapsulated crawlspace, this property blends modern updates with timeless natural beauty. Whether you're seeking a private retreat, an entertainer's paradise, or an investment opportunity, this remarkable property on the brow delivers it all.
