Discover a rare opportunity to own an off-grid residence in the historic mining town of Turret, just 30 minutes from the town of Salida (offering restaurants, shopping and medical facilities). Turret is positioned at the edge of Browns Canyon National Monument. This unique residence offers sweeping mountain vistas, star-filled night skies, and the kind of peace that's getting harder to find. Set on over 2.3 acres with two private wells--this property gives you space, privacy, and room to dream. The home has been thoughtfully designed for comfort and self-sufficiency, the home features: recently upgraded solar with new panels and sealed batteries, a propane stove, wall furnace, and refrigerator; claw-foot bathtub with a view, washer and dryer, and an on-demand hot water heater. The home has lots of storage throughout, including ample kitchen cabinets and many closets. The bedroom offers additional closet space and a special nook for reading or just relaxing. After a day exploring the surrounding areas, come home to a cozy living room anchored by a wood-burning stove and framed by beautifully finished beetle-kill pine ceilings. From here, take in breathtaking views of the Collegiate Peaks through the large picture window. A large west-facing deck extends your living space outdoors, perfect for entertaining, dining al fresco, or setting up a telescope to enjoy the brilliant night sky. Storage is abundant, with one shed ready for gear and supplies. The second shed has been transformed into a bright studio with many windows. A private side patio off the studio adds another peaceful spot to relax or create. Turret offers a peaceful, secluded setting with rich history and direct access to outdoor recreation.
