This is truly a one-of-a-kind opportunity to own a self-sustainable, modern homestead in the beautiful Colorado mountain town of Montrose! There is no covenants, irrigated acreage with recorded ditch rights, a registered spring on property, and areas for livestock and gardening! This home has it all! Approximately two and a half acres of the property are irrigated with gated pipe and is also fully fenced for livestock. The field is irrigated with 1896 ditch water rights which also provides plenty of water for livestock. The large chicken coop has an outdoor fully enclosed area with a feed room and loft. There is a developed, registered spring on the hillside of the property that waters the lawn and garden areas and is naturally pressurized to 26 PSI. The spring also overflows into a pond. The large garden area is separately fenced and has young peach trees and one young pear tree. There is also a greenhouse with a raised bed in the established garden. The entire property has been maintained organically for the last seven years, with no use of pesticides or herbicides on the field, lawn or garden. Outbuildings on the property include a barn with a loft, a workshop equipped with 220V, and a small play cabin that sits on the hillside off the road up to the spring. There is also a restored and improved root cellar close to the house that provides ample storage for canned garden goods. The home has been completely upgraded! Genuine hardwood and tile flooring, as well as new carpet in the bedrooms. All the windows in the home have been replaced and most of the exterior walls of the home have been insulated to bring the value to R26+ making this home very energy efficient. The primary bathroom has been updated with new finishes and there is a newly added half bath in the living area of the home. The current owners took great detail in remodeling the kitchen, following an inspiration from farmhouses in the Netherlands. The kitchen has a modern, Italian, Nordica wood fired cooking stove that can easily heat the whole house in the winter. The current owners cook with the wood fired cooking stove in the Winter and in the Summer they switch to using the new gas range. The kitchen has beautiful custom concrete countertops, a large farmhouse sink, and Dutch inspired tile backsplash. This ranch style home accommodates handicap access with entry through the sunroom, three foot wide custom barn doors, and a four-foot-wide hallway. The home was upgraded to natural gas and now has an on demand hot water heater, gas range, gas clothes dryer, gas fireplace, and an outdoor stubbed out gas line. The sunroom provides passive solar heat and is 12' X 45' feet with thirteen new windows and sliding glass and French doors. This 6.06 acre homestead is only 5 minutes from town, sits at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, and is on city sewer, gas, and water. This is a rare opportunity, schedule a showing today!
