Land with Home for Sale in Aguilar, Colorado
23360 Monarch Rd, Aguilar, CO 81020
Big Mountain Views. Dark Skies. Room to Live, Create, Explore, and Breathe. Set on 36.47 fully fenced acres, 23360 Monarch Drive offers nearly 3,840 square feet of living space, extraordinary flexibility, and the kind of privacy and wide-open Colorado setting that is increasingly hard to find. Step inside to a warm, expansive living area anchored by a striking rock fireplace, vaulted ceilings, hardwood flooring, and a wet bar -- an inviting space for quiet evenings or gathering with friends. The spacious main-level primary suite creates its own retreat, complete with a spa-like bath, radiant heat, walk-in shower, and sauna. The large kitchen offers excellent workspace, two pantries, and an adjoining laundry room. Upstairs, two oversized bedrooms are accessed by separate staircases and overlook the main living area, giving the home a distinctive architectural character. One of the property's standout features is the enormous bonus room above the oversized heated garage. At more than 1,100 square feet, this space offers remarkable possibilities: game room, home theater, art or music studio, fitness space, hobby room, bunk room, home office, or additional living area. Outside is where this property truly separates itself. The Spanish Peaks rise directly ahead, while the Sangre de Cristo Mountains stretch off to the left, creating a dramatic panoramic backdrop from the home and surrounding acreage. And the scenery changes with the seasons. Hummingbirds arrive in remarkable numbers during migration, while elk can be seen moving through the surrounding landscape at other times of year. After dark, the experience is just as memorable. With very little surrounding light, clear nights can reveal the Milky Way with the naked eye, turning the property into its own private stargazing destination. Enjoy the views from the covered porch or hot tub, watch the stars emerge over the mountains, and experience the quiet and openness that come with more than 36 acres of Colorado landscape. The property is fully perimeter-fenced and includes a newly fenced backyard, RV parking, kennel, storage shed, and a 30' x 35' concrete pad with electrical already run for a future building. Practical improvements support comfortable year-round living, including a consistent producing well, septic system, 1,500-gallon cistern, mini-split units on the lower level and in the garage, new upstairs baseboard heating units, new washer and dryer, and a security system. Whether you're looking for a full-time Colorado home, a private mountain retreat, space for horses and outdoor recreation, or simply enough room to pursue the things you love, Monarch Drive offers something increasingly rare: space, privacy, flexibility, wildlife, dark skies, and unforgettable mountain views -- all in one property. Come experience the Spanish Peaks directly ahead, the Sangre de Cristos to the left, hummingbirds overhead, elk moving through the landscape, and the Milky Way stretching across the night sky from your own 36-acre Colorado retreat.
