455 Big Bear Rd, Creede, CO 81130

Stunning views of the Rio Grande River framed by the majestic mountains surrounding Creede, Colorado, from this beautiful low maintenance home! The property borders the National Forest on two sides with a very nice hiking trail leaving from the property into pristine public lands. This low maintenance stucco home was built using Structurally Insulated Panels (SIP) resulting in a very high level of energy efficiency! To add to that the home was built using top of the line thermal windows (Hurd) and doors with high R values and has a central Heat Recovery Ventilator that filters pollen, dust, and smoke for a more "breathable" home! Perfect for people with allergies, asthma, or chemical sensitivities. The home is heated with efficient ETS (Electric Thermal System) central furnace and also has a beautiful Hearthstone soap stone wood stove to add a second source of heat during frigid winter days. The main floor of the home has an open kitchen, dining, 1/2 bath, and living space with large picture windows which look out on the mountains and cliffs surrounding the town of Creede. The gourmet kitchen is spacious and well planned with plentiful Hickory cabinets, built in Butcher block, electric cook top stove, oven, refrigerator/freezer, and dishwasher, and ample counter space. The home is hard wired for a stereo speaker system as well. The Master suite is also on the main floor and consists of a large bedroom, walk through bathroom which has both a claw foot tub and walk in shower, ceramic hand painted sinks, cedar lined closets, and a separate sitting area room. Step out onto the redwood deck on the back of the home and sit in the beautiful hot tub while overlooking the expansive acreages of the National Forest! There is even a Sunsetter retractable awning for the days that the sun shines the brightest! An added convenience is the washer/dryer just steps from the Master suite. The top story has a guest bedroom and full bathroom as well as a bonus room that can be easily converted to a third bedroom or used as a large office space. The large timber and open beam construction adds a touch of "mountain rustic charm" to a very tastefully finished home. The large finished walkout basement contains a separate one car oversized garage, a finished room currently used as a weight room/exercise room, a 1/4 bath, and a workshop area. There is track lighting throughout the home with separate dimmers to give even more ambiance! The plumbing throughout the home is sloped allowing for easier winterizing and low freeze threat. High Speed fiber optics internet is now available making it even easier to never leave this oasis in the mountains! Outside of the home there is an RV pad with hookup, and a spacious storage shed used for storing wood and outdoor toys such as four wheelers, etc. Short drive to groceries, shopping, and entertainment (such as the Creede Repertory Theatre) in Creede and less than an hour to Wolf Creek Ski area. Also, short drive to recreation such as fishing on the Rio Grande, hunting, hiking, or four wheeling in the Rio Grande National Forest, and golfing at the Rio Grande Club in South Fork. Come enjoy the cool summer days and relaxing atmosphere of mountain life!
