Some properties are inspiring before you reach the front door. The drive in alone sets the tone, winding through Ponderosa pine, Pinon, Juniper, and Scrub Oak across 35 acres that open into three distinct meadows, with rock outcroppings anchoring the back of the property and long views of the Wet Mountains stretching across the horizon. This is Southern Colorado the way people dream about it, and this home was built to live up to every bit of that setting. Step inside and the great room earns your full attention. Tongue-and-groove pine ceilings soar overhead, exposed beams cross the open span, and a wood-burning stove set against a stacked stone hearth delivers the kind of warmth that is totally Colorado. The kitchen flows naturally from this space, dressed in solid oak cabinets, quartz countertops, and a gas range, with wide windows that keep the meadow and the pines close while you cook. The generous dining area sits just steps away, wrapped in the same golden light that fills the whole main floor. The primary suite is tucked quietly away with a soaking tub and walk-in closet. Upstairs, two bedrooms with mountain views and a full bath with walk-in shower. The finished basement adds over 1,200 square feet including a craft room, family room, and dedicated food storage. The infrastructure is exceptional. A 5,400-watt off-grid solar array, LiFePO4 batteries, dual inverters, 14,000-watt Kohler generator, and solar-powered deep well with buried cistern deliver true energy independence. The property has been thoughtfully fire mitigated, and a 1,600-gallon permitted rainwater collection system supports both the greenhouse and fire prevention. Outside, a 608-square-foot covered front porch, timber-frame pavilion, fenced garden, and private observatory invite you to settle into one of Colorado's most celebrated Dark Sky communities. Southern Colorado mountain living at its finest. Call to schedule a tour!
