Property Description
Wake up to the sound of Hardscrabble Creek flowing just beyond your front door & end the day watching the sun set behind the mountains from your favorite spot on the property, a quiet overlook known as “the perch.” This updated 2004 mountain home offers rare privacy with thousands of acres of BLM land out front & direct access to the San Isabel National Forest out back. The setting is peaceful & remote, but access is easy with a paved state highway & no long gravel roads. The home feels fresh and modern with a long list of recent updates including a brand new metal roof, new siding, interior and exterior paint, updated light fixtures throughout, new barn doors, and upgraded kitchen and bathroom finishes. The layout is comfortable with spacious bedrooms, a bright and open living area, and an efficient heating system powered by a high-efficiency boiler with hot water baseboard heat. A flexible bonus space serves perfectly as a home office with reliable high-speed Internet or could function as a non-conforming 4th bedroom. Every room in the home offers a view—whether it's the surrounding rock features or mountain peaks—creating a constant connection to the landscape. A split A/C unit and cool evening mountain breezes keep the home comfortable in the summer. The oversized garage is finished, climate controlled, and perfect for storage, projects, or gear. Step out back to a full-length covered patio that offers privacy, shade, and a quiet place to relax or entertain. This is a home designed to be lived in and enjoyed year-round, with low-maintenance landscaping, a new leach field, and upgrades throughout. Wildlife is a regular part of the view, the night skies are dark enough to see the Milky Way, and you're just a short drive from Lake Pueblo, Royal Gorge, San Isabel Lake, Westcliffe, and endless outdoor recreation. Whether you're looking for a full-time residence or a weekend escape, this property delivers the Colorado mountain lifestyle in a way that feels effortless.
