Some properties sell you a lifestyle. This one already lives it. Thirty-five acres in the Colorado foothills, wrapped in Ponderosa pine, pinion, juniper, and scrub oak, with three open meadows, rock outcroppings rising from the back of the land, and Wet Mountain views stretching farther than you can take in at once. On a clear morning out here, and there are plenty of them, it is hard to imagine being anywhere else. This is high country land with real character, and it shows in every single direction you look. This two-story home with finished basement offers more than 2, 100 square feet of living space above grade. The main floor holds a primary suite with private bath, a dedicated office, a great room with eating area, a kitchen with quartz counters and a gas range, and a mudroom with laundry that connects to an oversized two-car garage. Upstairs, two bedrooms and an open loft share a full bath with walk-in shower. The basement is nearly finished and includes a dedicated food storage room, a detail that tells you something about how thoughtfully this home was designed and built for the long haul. Off-grid does not mean roughing it here. A 5, 400-watt solar array with LiFePO4 battery backup, a solar-powered deep well feeding a large buried cistern, a 14, 000-watt Kohler generator, and a 1, 600-gallon permitted water collection system give you genuine four-season confidence. A wood stove crackles to life on the coldest mornings while a gas furnace and an owned 1, 000-gallon propane tank back everything up. Grid connection is right nearby if you ever decide you want it. Step outside to a large covered front porch, a deck off the great room, a back pavilion perfect for summer dining, a 20×13 foot greenhouse, a fenced garden area, and a personal observatory built for Colorado’s famously dark and star-filled skies. Contact us today to be the very first in line when this one hits the market.
