Immaculate Home with Barn near Purgatory Resort - Vacation Rentals Allowed. This meticulously maintained, single-level home sits on 5+ pastoral acres with beautiful mountain and cliff views. The home is bright and warm, with vaulted knotty pine ceilings, tall windows, a gas fireplace, and hickory hardwood flooring in the great room. The roomy master suite also has hardwood floors as well as a walk-in closet. The master bath features a granite dual-sink vanity with oak cabinets, a frosted-glass shower, and an oversized tub. Hickory cabinets and granite counters abound in the spacious and open kitchen which includes an island and large breakfast bar adjacent to the dining area. The attached two-car garage (a must in this area for protecting your "toys" and cars from the elements) is quickly accessed through the convenient laundry/mud room. Outside you will find a stone patio facing the mountains, and a quiet covered porch with big views of Castle Rock and stands of aspens. Away from the house is a barn with horse stall and plenty of storage, including room for another vehicle. Located in Hermosa Cliffs Ranch, access is easy year-round. There is a road maintenance agreement that provides for snow removal, including for the driveway of the home. Skiing at Purgatory and golfing at Glacier Club are minutes away, and all other outdoor activities are close at hand, with the Elbert Creek Trail and San Juan National Forest bordering the neighborhood to the west. A great option for a full-time residence, second home, or rental. Call today to schedule a showing.
