The Manor in Andes

Built in 1901, this spectacular 4000+/- square feet mansion with a 900 +/- square guest cottage on 39 acres is located within walking distance of the hamlet of Andes. This is the only house at the end of a town maintained road so, privacy is guaranteed. The house has been painstakingly restored to the beauty that it is today. The 11 foot high ceilings on the main floor with beautiful crown moldings and original wood trim around the doors, windows and baseboards attest to the original splendor of this house.

Enter through the original dutch door to a grand entry hall that runs the full length of the house. The main floor includes a grand living room with a beautiful fireplace, the raised panel library has fantastic light, a spectacular subway tile stainless steel kitchen with top of the line kitchen appliances, a formal dining room and a sunroom with a wet bar, that is flooded with sunlight. On those warm evenings you can entertain your guests on the 14’ x 28.5’ covered porch. The oak plank flooring has been stained a beautiful ebony color to enhance any décor. The grand wrap around staircase to the second floor has a great window seat that over looks some majestic pines with the barn off in the distance.

The second floor has four very spacious bedrooms, and three full bathrooms. The master suite has a spectacular white tile bathroom with a Jacuzzi tube and separate shower. The open attic space has been finished off and adds another 900+/- square feet of living space. The other great features of this magnificent property are the cute Victorian guest cottage with two bedrooms, living room, full eat in kitchen and one full bathroom. There is a very large 3200+/- square foot two story barn with two horse stalls.

Next to the barn is a crystal clear spring feed pond. The land is gently sloping and divided into smaller areas with stonewalls. Mostly wooded with about 5% open meadow. There is potential for some great valley and mountain views as well.
