47B is located on The Poleo, the most desirable place in Costilla. One may walk down the road to trout fishing, or hunt elk and mule deer in the pasture. The 2484 square foot, two-story home is a well-functioning passive solar design, featuring a south-facing wall of floor-to-ceiling windows. The built-in planters, dark cement floors, and center adobe core collect heat during the day and release it at night. The windows are calibrated to facilitate solar gain through the seasons. This one-of-a-kind home features tongue and groove ceilings with exposed beams that add warmth and character throughout. The layout is part open-plan, with everything radiating from the circular kitchen at the heart of the home. The kitchen includes a newly updated gas range and stainless steel appliances. There are three bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The main floor includes a bedroom conveniently located next to the downstairs bath. Upstairs, a Jack and Jill bathroom with beautiful tile work and a jetted tub connects two additional bedrooms, along with a bright sunroom that opens to a full-length covered balcony with stunning views. Comfort is ensured year-round with two mini-split systems, as well as a wood-burning fireplace for cozy winter nights. The outdoor living area is just as special, featuring a fenced-in garden and yard space with a pergola-covered dining area-perfect for enjoying the fresh mountain air. The views from this property are truly outstanding in every direction. This property includes an expansive 18.47-acre parcel of lush pastureland bordering the Rio Costilla Cooperative Livestock Association (RCCLA), offering direct access to prime elk habitat. This unique property conveys with an existing elk hunting tag, making it an exceptional opportunity for sportsmen, ranchers, and conservation-minded buyers alike.
