Experience breathtaking, ever-changing views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains from this fully remodeled, private retreat set on 15 acres with direct access to surrounding BLM land. Peaceful, secluded, and rich with natural beauty, this property offers a rare blend of modern comfort and true mountain living.

The newly updated home features new flooring, fresh interior paint, solid wood doors, updated electrical, and a newer boiler and hot water heater, ensuring both style and efficiency. The main level offers an open kitchen, living, and dining area, a inviting living room with a wood-burning insert, one bedroom, and a full bathroom. Step outside onto the spacious deck and take in the views—colorful sunsets, brilliant blue skies, and dramatic cloud formations that change daily.

Wildlife is abundant, with sightings of hummingbirds, deer, bobcats, and the occasional bear, adding to the property’s serene, nature-immersed atmosphere.

The walk-out basement is a private master retreat facing south to frame the stunning views. It includes in-floor heating, a custom ¾ bathroom, and a large walk-in closet. A spacious third bedroom also faces south for optimal views, along with a bonus room ideal for secure storage or flexible use. An attached 14x7 storage room with a 220V outlet is perfect for a deep freezer or additional equipment.

Completing the property is a huge detached shop (approx. 24 x 36 ft/ 864 square feet) with space for six or more vehicles, ideal for hobbies, storage, or workspace. Built for comfort and efficiency, the home stays cool naturally without air conditioning, and propane usage is so minimal it typically requires refilling only once per year.

This is a one-of-a-kind mountain haven offering unmatched privacy, unbeatable views, and modern upgrades throughout. Don’t miss the opportunity to own this extraordinary retreat.
