Whether inside or outside, your views begin with the awe inspiring San Juan Mountains, followed by the Cimarron Ridge, the West Elk Range, and the Grand Mesa. The crows nest, accessible by a spiral staircase off the master bedroom, provides another 360 degree view. The open design on both levels allow for flexibility and continuous views. Deer and Elk are plentiful on the property and easily viewed from the many windows. The open sunny kitchen is complete with a breakfast bar, high end stainless steel appliances and a 12 foot tray ceiling. Vaulted tongue and groove wood ceilings over the dining room, living room, and master bedroom add to the expansive open sensation. The master bedroom is spacious and includes both a shower and Jacuzzi tub. Right off the master bedroom you will find a beautiful sunroom. Make this your favorite morning coffee spot, reading room, fitness room or even a gardeners dreams for your favorite perennials or vegetables. On the outside, you can enjoy the San Juans from your hot tub or the rock feature from the fire pit area, or one of two large decks. If you have the need for RV or other large storage needs, there is a 24 ft. x 40 ft. x 17 ft. metal shed to fill your needs, along with an attached and insulated two car garage. For access to public lands, all you need to do is walk across the road and you will find yourself on BLM land. Located just 25 minutes from town. This truly is a one of a kind property. Please note the original 900 soft. structure was built in 1980. However, this stunning home has been renovated and upgraded since 2003 adding an additional 1940 sq feet of living space!
