Welcome to Your Charming Brick Retreat on 5 Acres with Breathtaking Mountain Views! This bright and welcoming brick home offers the perfect blend of modern comfort and rustic charm on a sprawling 5-acre property. Boasting unobstructed views of Mt. Blanca and the entire Sangre de Cristo range, this property is a nature lover's paradise. Let's take a closer look at the delightful features and updates that make this property a truly exceptional find. Upon stepping inside, you'll immediately appreciate well-maintained, bright, open floorplan. With a thoughtfully designed layout, the home offers a spacious living area that provides ample room for relaxation and entertainment. Large windows face South, allowing natural light and passive solar heat to flood the space and frame those awe-inspiring mountain views. The heart of the home centers around the renovated kitchen, complete with modern amenities, stylish finishes and a large center island doubling as both counterspace for food preparation and additional seating. All appliances are included with the property. The master bedroom has an attached, full bathroom and a walk-in closet. The other two spacious bedrooms share a bathroom in the hall. An office – big enough to be made into two more bedrooms – is located just off the kitchen near the center of the home. The attached two car garage is spacious and includes thoughtful storage and electric garage door openers as well as an additional refrigerator and a chest-style freezer. As you step outside, you'll be captivated by the acres of lush, green grass that surround the home. Imagine relaxing after a long day in the luxurious hot tub while gazing at the breathtaking sunsets over the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. This home has been lovingly updated to ensure that your living experience is as enjoyable as possible. In 2013, a new metal roof was installed, providing durability and peace of mind for years to come. The home's radiant baseboard heat received an upgrade in 2012 with a new propane boiler, ensuring warmth during the colder months. The property also has new vinyl flooring, new windows and a state-of-the-art alarm system. The property is an animal lover's dream, featuring a fenced area close to the house for your furry companions' safety and a separate dog run further out for added convenience. If you're an equestrian enthusiast, you'll be thrilled to know that the 1.5-acre horse pasture is fully enclosed with brand-new fencing, offering your horses the freedom to roam in a secure environment and an open set of stalls to protect them from the elements. Perhaps best of all, the property includes a massive shop near the back of the property. This versatile space comes equipped with workbenches and built-in shelving, making it a perfect place for DIY projects and hobbies. With 20-amp power for a compressor, 50-amp power for a welder, and multiple 110v outlets, you'll have all the electrical conveniences you need to pursue your passions. To ensure your comfort while working in the shop, it has been thoughtfully insulated with spray foam and features windows for natural light to flood the space. The property comes complete with a zero-turn Husqvarna mower, allowing you to easily maintain the expansive grounds. The domestic well has permit # 142105-A and was rated at 50gpm when drilled. This exceptional property offers the perfect combination of modern living, room to breathe, and breathtaking natural beauty, making it a rare gem in the real estate market.
