This kitchen has it all. Granite countertops, double ovens, 5 burner gas range w/ instant hot pot filler faucet, built in trash compactor, custom pull out cabinets, wood floors, garbage disposal and farm house sink with Blanco faucet. This kitchen is a gourmet chef's dream.

The dining patio is flanked by large granite boulders, directly accessible via the bonus room, connected to extensive redwood decking and located within the fenced yard. ~100 year old productive plum trees sweeten the view.

The living room is located in the oldest part of the house and has a very large convection style flagstone fireplace. With wood floors and original wooden beams in the ceiling, you'll want to cozy up and watch the deer and elk walk by.

Pull into the circular driveway and be amazed at the gorgeous flagstone entrance. Quaking aspen, tons of bulb flowers and blue spruce set the stage for fine country living. 1000+ Ft of Redwood Decking makes for fine outdoor entertaining.

The vaulted ceiling, floor to ceiling windows, natural wood walls and extensive rockwork make the sun room a perfect entrance to a really great home.

Fenced yard - great for pets and kids! Ponderosa pine forest with hidden valleys and south facing orientation are just a few of the many wonders this property holds.
Carport with office and barn with water and electric.

The substantially sized windows make the Master Suite (one of two en-suites in the home) a bright and cozy retreat.

The Carriage House has 3 1/2 bathrooms, each of which has been outfitted with gorgeous custom fixtures and extra storage.

There is tons of extra living space in the Carriage House. Call this room what you like - it's affectionately referred to as the bonus room because it's just that - a bonus!

Southwestern Colorado averages 300+ days per year of blue skys and winter temperatures average about 32 degrees.

This adorable Victorian Farmhouse is enchanting at every turn.
